Re: not coping

I hope the appointments go well for you @outlander

Hopefully you can get something out of the physio.

Good to hear you are not going back to work for awhile. Much better to look after yourself first.

Haven't got much on. D has to have a procedure on Tuesday to try and work out what is happening with her at the moment. Hopefully we get some results.

It is also her birthday on Tuesday so have to go tomorrow and finish of buying her birthday presents. She is so hard to buy for now, she has got her own style!!

Re: not coping

i hope the procedure gives more of an aswer to whats happening for her @Snowie its hard being in pain and having no idea whats causing it.

shes a teen, theyre always hard to buy for unless you give them gift cards to buy things themselves. its even harder when they have their own money and buy the things they like themselves and leave us with nothing to get 🤦‍♀️

Re: not coping

I hope so too @outlander

She is a teen so is hard to buy for. Things I think she would like she doesn't!!

She has picked out a few things for herself but I want at least one thing that is a surprise for her. I can't believe she will be 17. makes me feel old!!!

Re: not coping

Hi @outlander

Thanks for checking in with me. Everything went well with D. They took some biopsies so have to wait for results to come back. She had a nice birthday despite that.

I hope today has been ok for you hon 💗

Re: not coping

Hopefully they don't too long to come back @outlander

No she doesn't go for her P's yet. We are in VIC so she has to wait another year until she turns 18.

How has your day been?

Re: not coping

Unfortunately not till 18 here in Vic @outlander

Will be glad when she gets it and then she can drive herself and her brother around!!

Have to get her a car first. Then insurance, rego, pay for petrol. Better start saving now!!

Sorry to hear about your boss hon. It must be a hard decision to make. No doubt you will make the best one for yourself.
