Re: not coping

So your mum is okay that you are the carer? @outlander ?

I'll be logging off shortly, so I apologise in advance if I don't respond immediately.

Please take care and we will catch up shortly

Hey @outlander

Just catching up to see how things went for you with the tests. Sounds pretty awful but I imagine you're glad they are over with for now. When do you hear back from your interview. An interview on the same day as the tests was A LOT! I hope you did something nice for yourself that night.

Hugs to you ❤️

Hey @Shaz51

How has your week been? I hope things got a little easier for you. My daughter had her check up with her surgeon yesterday and he is really happy with her hip. She just started walking without a crutch and feeling so much more confident. Gosh it was hard seeing her in pain. My heart broke for her.

Anyway, I hope you've done something nice for yourself this week. We saw the Barbie movie yesterday after the surgeon visit and it was so nice to relax at the cinema. I haven't been for 3 years!

Hello again @Snowie @outlander
