Hi @Former-Member app this morning to try to get daughter back into mental health system. No calls from her last night so wonderful peace and quiet. Feeling clearer this morning and not so down. Fingers crossed that today is a good one.
The girl I run the rescue with father is dying any day so no time off as I'm covering for her.
Today seems much brighter 🙂

hello @JoJo99 @Faith-and-Hope

Yes your reply sounds as though you have some structure happening.

It is true the old saying "sleep on it". Sometimes things haven't changed but the way we ourselves are looking at it or feeling within ourselves shifts the perspective and takes away some of the weight.

Good news that attempts in place to get your daughter back in the mental health system.

Sorry to hear about helpers father, that also would be in the back of your mind no doubt.

Again please be aware of your needs in this whole equation. Says moi who puts herself last and that is if I even remember me. I am working hard at putting this in practice now, living in the now.

You can work at yours with me if you like.

Shall we start a section still on the same page. Let's keep it easy as trying to remember who posted what and where, which side sometimes does my head in.

So today I am back at the dentist, then this afternoon the physiotherapist.

Hilarious looking back all of the hard work the physiotherapist was doing was possibly undone if he could have seen my posture on that dentist chair when I was subjected to all of those needles and such heavy tugging. I think I literally left the chair and was suspended in mid air by my tooth!!!

So today for me a walk when I get back from the physiotherapist.

What do you have in mind for today @JoJo99 @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Grasshopper3 @patientpatient @ivana @Former-Member actually Darcy had put this in place on a previous post so it is Darcy's idea. Thank you Darcy. @soul

Sorry if have left anyone out.

Please tell us all your news all when you have the time and if writing your thoughts out on here is part of your time for you that in itself is good too.

take care all

today's dentist scenario: attaching of temporary bridge to cover up gaping whole from previous saga

I did my usual asking 20 questions and none the wiser for the effort. I would have thought that was a clue to let me know more injections on their way!!!

So 4 more injections, 3 initially then when I nearly went through the ceiling as he touched previous inflamed area near gaping hole, another injection followed.

I still dont understand as someone mentioned all that pharmaceutical stuff entering my body i was probably in shock again.

temporary bridge to stay in for 6 months. when I asked what was going to replace said temporary bridge, answer was a technician will need to look at probably involve some metal clips or something. dont quote me i decided not to listen any further. i will worry about it in 6 months time.

Ended up at physiotherapists 2hours early as I am trying to ask my physiotherapist attempting to get in his car in car park when I rocked up. Bearing in mind half of my mouth only worked so insidious smile on my face. he thought it was hilarious.

He is great, he and his wife are having their 1st baby due on 22nd may so happy times.

I do hope I haven't put anyone off going to the dentist!!

Hello @Former-Member @Former-Member

meant to say in regard to procrastinating all of those jobs. I know the feeling only too well. You should see my wardrobe, the office, linen cupboards, stuff in storage. well yes.

I have seen others write treat yourself to something a nice coffee out, healthy snack or whatever or if easier after you have tackled one job.

then of course you celebrate the next day because you achieved the one job and so on and so on.

I am going to try it tomorrow.

Be in touch.

oh another text message from son and was happy with my reply so progress for another day. has certainly made me chirpier. living in the now
