Re: not coping

Family gatherings can be high stress @outlander I find any sort like that.

At least the end is in sight with the wedding.

Re: not coping

Yep by Sunday it’s all over and then again have to take another week off to babysit so they can go honey mooning 😵‍💫 @Snowie

Looks like I won’t be able to get my injection either. Pops hopeless supports won’t be here in time for me to go there before work now

Re: not coping

oh thats a shame @outlander I hope you are able to get through work ok.

It's a shame it is left up to you to babysit hon. You should at least get paid for it.

Re: not coping

It’s ok I ended up getting it done and she has also called the Dr from her work and he spoke to me to get a script and authority to set up a device that I can use to administer the medication so after work tonight I’m going to have a device implanted for a week until this flare settles down so I can administer my own meds through line rather then getting her to do injections. I can keep it during the wedding so if I need medications I’ll be able to do it myself @Snowie i see my gp on thursday as well so i hope she will let me keep the line in until after the wedding. i may ask about getting a doctors order written up for when i get these flares to have this implant put in so i can manage my condition more besides popping meds all the time and my regular nurse can help me out when i need it by putting in the device and helping me when i need as well.. i had the injection that was prescribed that will be put through the line and it was alot more effective so i have hopes itll help my poor digestive system out and give it abit of help settling down

Nope not getting paid for it but at least I can do some work from home by then and can work 2-3 short shifts but only like 3-4 hrs so my remote work will def be the one I’m using the most! Just hope both workplaces have it properly set up by next week so I can learn to use the programs for each company and work out a schedule.

Re: not coping

@outlander happy to hear things are sorted out and that you can manage to keep your pain levels under control. Must be a relief for you.

Hopefully you can work from home whilst babysitting.
