Re: not coping

It would be tough for you @outlander

You have so much on your plate. Do you do anything for yourself now?

Re: not coping

@outlander I'm sorry you can't even get time to do anything for yourself 😞

I worry about you, you're under so much pressure.

Sending 💙 and hugs...

Re: not coping

thanks @NatureLover im sure ill be ok. my new role is alot of observing, noticing changes, giving first aids, injections medications and all sorts of things but once all the jobs are mostly done its really just observing, interacting and cleaning.
ive rehurt my foot today though so im glad ive got a few hours off tomorrow. makes it difficult when you have to think about every step you take, how your foots placed and not being able to weight bare on your mid foot up makes it hard.
