Hey @outlander thanks for checking in. Have you been able to get your foot sorted?

It is so good to see you on here.

Re: not coping

ive been away for a week in another state @Eve7 i did see the specialist. was a very big day and i was there for a couple of hours and also done some sight seeing while i was there too in the movies, war museum (done a last post too which was amazing!), parliament house, horse trail ride and the zoo down there too. done lots of eating out to try the local restuarants as well.
can definently feel it now though so im glad i took an extra day off work.

my foot is still a mystery. unforutnatly whatever the condition it is that i have (may not be the original diagnosis but something simialr) it has spread to my leg and hip as well as my lower back, neck and has worsened in my face as well so whatever it is, it is spreading. we are trailing a high strength cream for 3 weeks, more physio and pain education and then a review. the specialsit thinks i should do a 5-7 day hospital inpatient medication tranfusion to try and reset my whole system and see if that helps out too.

hows your physio going?

Re: not coping

Hello @outlander ,

Great to see you around. I feel like I have missed seeing you around for a while now. I was thinking you were busy with work. I know how stressful work was for you, especially as you were juggling your own health issues at that time.

I've been on the go, but things have been really good. Hope you are well 🙂

Hugs, tyme

Re: not coping

urgh i really dont enjoy work @tyme i use to but theres to many negatives coming up in the roll and its outweighing the positives.

ive been away for a couple of days though both for medical treatment and also for some time out. time out was nice to have, its unfortuante it has to end tomorrow.

im really glad your going well though!

Re: not coping

I was just telling someone a minute a go - 'Leadership is not about making friends - it's a lonely place'. There are so many intricacies that come with leadership.... and a true leader often shields and buffers their own - making it even lonelier.

I'm not sure if I'm making sense @outlander

Re: not coping

yeah that makes sense @tyme

its hard being a leader. not really sure i want the job as much anymore. the boss higher then me isnt helpful at all, quite the opposite and she sheilds her weaknesses by blaming me for things when i wasnt even there

Re: not coping

It sounds like you’ve really spoilt yourself while you’ve been away and I’m really pleased for you. There’s a lot for you to take in with your specialist appointment…”resetting your whole system” sounds interesting.

My physio is pleased but it’s very slow. I am grateful for the improvement.

Re: not coping

it was so expensive lol @Eve7 my poor savings account was probably saying stop spending!

yeah resetting is a good way to describe it. sometimes the most harshest treatment are needed as a once off to try it out. its never on going.


its hard when its slow but at least theres progress. thats always a good thing
