Re: not coping

@Captain24 im away in just over 2 weeks time. he will be going to a home then for respite so itll be a start.

some are syaing 3 months, some are saying 6 months others dont even have a time frame so it really could be any time. after ive had my treatment one of the companies said to give them a call as they are one of the biggest companies in my area and surrounds and may be able to help me find a placement a little sooner

Re: not coping

That’s not far away @outlander. It doesn’t sound like it’s going to be an easy time but at least you are able to focus on yourself and only yourself for a little while.

Definitely contact them. We put Nan in hospital when her husband couldn’t do it anymore and they managed to find a place for her. It was an hour and a half away but when they couldn’t cope with her the found her a spot in town. So it’s worth trying. You need to get some resemblance of a life.

@fluffylight

yes its been quite the ride in getting where i am but the opportunity was good one. so im greatful for that opportunity and where its leading me. it was scary to take that step but im glad that i did this time.

i havent been able to go walking lately. but i felt well enough to go for a short walk today. hopefully if the weather is ok and my health can stay a little stable id like to go for another one. i use to go daily but my stomach aches and other pains and symptoms havent been allowing me to the last few weeks. it was good to go for a walk in the sunshine and fresh air

Re: not coping

I hope time goes quick for you @outlander. My fingers are crossed for a placement.

Im sorry but I don’t have any more to offer tonight. My support person has just logged off for the night and they were distracting me. So for my own safety I need to disappear. If that’s ok with you?

Re: not coping

That sounds so good @outlander taking those scary steps can support us towards better opportunities

I am glad you went for a walk and you can notice that walking is something positive for you. Sorry about the pain you are experiencing, it sounds like it gets in the way of those sunshine walks.

I am actually noticing some of what you are sharing is relating with me. I too need to go for walks too.

Re: not coping

Sorry @outlander. There is no tone in typing. I meant ‘if it’s ok with you’ in a positive tone!

Re: not coping

I do enjoy my walks @fluffylight I’m finding I’m enjoying life’s simple pleasures the most like walks and being in nature or the smeller things these days it’s nice to have some peace in the chaos even it if it only for a short walk.
