Re: not coping

thanks @NatureLover @Anastasia @Snowie

managed to tick quite abit off yesterday. pop finally has his hearing aids repaired and adjusted for him properly again

i also had the dentist to see if i could do something about getting a dental implant however im not able to one because theres not enough room and if i got braces later that could basically be corrected. and if i done a dental implant i would probabaly be in agony constantly because the implant would be where one of the nerves were damaged the most.

my foot still has a massive haematoma, but as well as this i have bruised bones basically my entire front half of my foot that goes right through the bottom of my foot as well. the dr has ordered some more scans which ive done i cant get it done till monday so ill do that in the morning.she also thinks i might have some further muscle and ligament tears as well.

Re: not coping

Great that you achieved so much yesterday @outlander but I’m sorry your foot is giving you so much pain and that there’s no solution yet for your mouth pain.

Big hugs for today.

Re: not coping

Good morning my sis @outlander

That doesn't sound good about your foot hon. I hope there is not too much damage to it.

Have you got anything on today?

Re: not coping

mouth pain is permanent now @Eve7 theres no treatment for it, i was just hoping that i might be able to chew on that side again one day but looks like maybe not.

@Snowie all these medications are making me quite sick, so im feeling quite abit nauseous and under the weather. already had to leave in a hurry from the horses earlier cause of vomiting.

im just trying to get some assignments done. they are so time consuming, draining and hard but i only have 3 to go then a 3 hr exam and them im done

Re: not coping

2 of them im not really suppose to have but i cant take otc meds theyre not strong enough. i can take them 4 times a day-im actually suppose to to get the inflammation down but im only managing one but the way im feeling today i think thats gunna be my limit and i wont take any more for a few days and give my insides a chance to recover. part of the joys of IBS as well i suppose. @Snowie
your welcome to join me if u life. ive just spent last 2 hours researching so far and still going. it takes so long!!

Re: not coping

Sorry to hear that otc meds are not working hon. Must be hard to take stronger meds and make you feel not well, especiall with your IBS.

Gladly join you hon. Am putting off the washing, just can't find the motivation to do anything.

Wow that sounds like a lot of researching sis, I hope it pays of for you in the end. Knowing you however, you will do a great job.

Re: not coping

yeah ive been putting off the washing as well but im kinda starting to run out of clothes. its been harder this week cause pop cant get up and down the stairs to the closeline and im struggling with it so ive only been able to do small loads to fit on the 2 air dryer lines on the verandah but by the time theyve dried properly theres already another load ready to go

after 3 quizzes and 2 assignments (2 still to be marked yet) im sitting at an overall score of 86% id like that to be higher though @Snowie

Re: not coping

That would make it hard to get the washing done @outlander There always seems to be dirty washing however, even if we do it a lot!!

I try and do some each day just to keep on top of it but haven't the last few days. Really need to do it soon.

86% is a great score hon, you should be super proud of it. You have had to deal with so much more as well as this course so give yourself some credit hon.
