Life can be a Pain

Life can be a Pain

Hi @BlueBay@Zoe7@Former-Member@Faith-and-Hope@utopia@oceangirl@TAB@Shaz51@PeppiPatty

I know there are more people I could tag but maybe I will think them up as I go along - actually I already have

I think I need my own thread - mostly my problem is chronic pain syndrome - I damaged my spine with the sporting excesses of my youth - a long time ago now - and I managed to rearrange it when I fell of my pushbike in a wind storm nearly 22 years ago and that seems a long time ago now but there is nothing they can do except treat the pain - and I do have Section 8 medication and I see a pain specialist

And the pain has been worse lately and wears me down and I get fed up and very tired -

I have issues with my mother as well - and although she died 2 years ago I still have bad times now and again - she was abusive and as well as I know myself and her this can get to me at times - and this is another reason I opened my own thread

Then there is TS - my Toxic Sister - she was under my skin for a while but not at the moment

So yesterday I felt so bad when I went to see the doctor about my back pain - and my pain specialist has cut my medication back several times over the last few years and she has gone too far - and I started to tell my doctor - yes - I cope with the pain better since my mother died - but it's driving me crackers atm and so are the memories of my mother

So that's it for now - I have had trouble opening this thread for some reason but now I have - I will run my own story - I would like to think I don't need to but yes - I do

You are all such wonderful supportive people - you are my soft place to land - that is so true

And anyone I have missed I will tag as I go along

Lots of hugs everyone

Dec

Hi @PeppyPatti

Great to see you again - I haven't been around much - last year was physically challenging and I needed time out

Hi @Zoe7 - it's great to see you too

And yes girls I love Tassie too - I prefer Melbourne in spite of the weather - after all - we just need to wait a few minutes and it will be different

I got storm damage last year - the wind lifted some tiles off my roof - it could have been worse - being in Government Housing meant the damage was fixed quickly at no cost to me

All the best

Hey @Owlunar2

I thought it was you. Great to see you.

I'm in Adelaide visiting my brother and his children / wife. It's been well over 24 hours and I haven't really gotten out of bed.

My old days of being informative and sharp with information is gone.

But I still care......💖🌿🙂

Back to sleep ......

It's great you care @PeppyPatti - it's wonderful and not everyone does - that's life 🥴

Why not stay in bed if it's okay - I just got a new one - it's so comfy I could stay here all day - alas I have to get up for some brekky

I live alone which pleases me😊

All the best

Good morning @Zoe7 @Shaz51 @PeppyPatti

I hope you are as well as you can be

It's 7 degrees C and feels like 6 in Melbourne right now - shivers - I think the sun is having trouble getting up

Today I hope to go to Bunnings for some potting mix and seedlings - surely it will get warmer this afternoon

All the best

Morning mumma bear @Owlunar2

Ohh that is a bit cold 🥶, stay warm xx

What seedlings 🌱 are you going to buy 🤔

Hi @Shaz51

Yes - it's freezing but the sun is up - it's a clear morning

I'm hoping to get some winter vegetables - my gardener will set them for me

My arthritis doesn't like cold so I only got up for a hot coffee

I hope your health is reasonable - what's happening with your kidney transplant? I have been out of touch

It has to be tough without your mum - I understand that
