Re: not coping

Thank you @outlander you are very perceptive 🙏

Happy to chat about"other stuff". What are you making, you are very clever. I've tried knitting many years ago but never crocheting. I just got my covid gets back, it's negative thank goodness. Now I just have to shake this lurgy for the weekend. Bf spoiledme and bought meds and cooked me dinner so I've been in bed for hours. I worked today but just did what needed doing. How is things with you? Has the pain subsided (If you want to talk about it) what plans for the weekend?

Re: not coping

Im making a blanket atm @Anastasia its taking me quite a while. Its for a king single bed so basically the same size as a double bed. Im probably between quarter and halfway there.

Uh pain is still there, unfortunately its not going to go away from what ive been told. It has settled a little for now. Have just rubbed in some mosituriser too, since the nerves were damaged ive noticed the skin is much drier now.


That's great about a negative covid test. Sorry your sick though. I hope you feel better soon. Your bf sounds sweet cooking you dinner. Bed is a good place to be when your under the weather! Do you need to work tomorrow?

Re: not coping

You are very clever @outlander and what a beautiful blanket it will be. I still have one my grandma made for me as a child. It's super warm and all the colours 🙂

What movie are youtou watching?

Thank you, I do have to work tomorrow but I will do it from bed and really only what is necessary unless a miracle comes and i wake up well. My bf is a sweetheart mostly 😜

I am so sorry that you have to live with the pain, especially through negligence from the dentist. Really not acceptable 😔

J hope by some miracle something gives to find you some comfort x

Re: not coping

This one is blue ans purple as requested by my sister @Anastasia its taking me ages, im hoping to have it done soon though befor winter come and gets much colder.

Im watching an older medical tv series called All Saints, its one of my favourites.

Id love to be able to work from bed lol but im such a get up ans go person id get sick of it after a day or 2 i think.

Yeah its really tough. Ive been told the main one that causes most of the issues is one of the worst one as its one of the most painful and most difficult to treat, its also one of the most rarest one as well then the other one is also classed as rare.
I even joined some social media groups for nerve damage etc but not one person out of all those groups has either of those are damaged.

Re: not coping

Oh @outlander I LOVE ALL SAINTS!!!!!

Was a favourite with so.many good characters. Blue and purple sounds lovely.

I'm really sorry there's no one in the group with he same issues to relate to/bounce ideas off, that sux for want of a better word.

I don't usually work from bed lol, just today gosh I really struggled by about 3pm and moved from the desk to the bed haha. I've got a fever now so burning up so think I'll definitely be here for the day tomorrow. I'm very lucky I can. I rang my boss this morning and he said I should like Barry White lol. If you don't know him Google him and listen to his voice haha

Re: not coping

Its one of my favourites @Anastasia it was one of the things my nan and i use to watch together when i would look after her or be over there for the day.

Hmm fevers arent good. Try a cool washcloth on the back on your neck and on your forehead as well for a little while and pain relief as well. You got to look after yourself too, i would come look after you if i could
