Re: Carers under 30...

Ive had to redo my medical terminology course so i cam get recognition and i found out my one that i done previously doesnt count at all. @Former-Member then will go onto human anatomy.

Im glad things are going ok for you 💜

Re: Carers under 30...

No, its ok @Former-Member this one is much harder and more detailed too though so in a way the last one set me up abit better for this one. I dont mind studying though. Just abit tired mentally and physically so its making it a little tricky to concentrate but im managing around 2 hrs each day sometimes more. I done 6 worksheets and abit of notes the other day which was around 4 hrs study. When im finished this one at least ill get recognition as its a tafe course

Good on you for persisting @outlander.

Re: Carers under 30...

I dont want to give up @Former-Member i actually really like to study depending on the topic. Mostly anything to do with animals or human health is what i like best or learning new arts and crafts

Do you like to study and learn new things too?

In response to: Re: Carers under 30...

Re: Carers under 30...

I do like learning new things @outlander. I probably need to get the gray matter ticking over again - most of the study I have done in more recent times has been work related. I did a lot of self study in relation to mental illness and medical treatments due to Mr Darcy's crisis. I have been wondering about doing a food handling course or something else with a view to some volunteer work. There are some horticultural studies available locally - I think it is a certificate course, attending once a week for 6 months to a year - not sure if I want to commit to that at the moment.

Re: Carers under 30...

i dont know if we ever really stop learning @Former-Member theres just a difference between intention studies like courses or just learning through life.
a horticulture course would be good, i know gardenings something you enjoy as well, perhaps that could lead to helping at a local community garden or something?
but its totally up to you, you might find something else to do with your time

In response to: Re: Carers under 30...

Re: Carers under 30...

Yes, I don't think we should ever stop learning @outlander . I think I like my gardening to be hobby/social, don't want to feel obligated to go out rain, hail or too much sunshine; as we are rural here there is not much call for community gardening.

It is a bit of a "wait and see time" at present so some things are on hold. Mr Darcy is currently discontinuing a med - there is relapse potential and I am not sure if he is having withdrawal symptoms as there are some concerning features - will probably know for sure over the next two months as dose becomes increasingly subtherapeutic.

Re: Carers under 30...

that is very true @Former-Member i found that i lost of interest in the horses and quite a few other things when it become more of a chore instead of just being able to go and enjoy the time i spend there.

oh.. yes.. taking it day by day and as a wait and see sort of thing sound like it might be a good idea.
if anything gets to concerning dont be afraid to book an appt with his gp some withdrawals are awful! i hope though that he can remain relativley stable during this transition
