Re: not coping

getting there slowly @tyme
have another surgery in a few weeks time but then that should be it for me for a while!
have been in quite a deep depressive state but i guess being in hospital doesnt allow me to use any negative coping strateiges so its been ok in a way

Re: not coping

Have you been in hospital for a while @outlander ? I thought it was only for a short time. I really wish you speedy recovery. Has anyone come to visit or see you?

Re: not coping

@outlander it is good to hear that you’re resting and recovering. Sorry that you still need pain treatments. I know you are experienced and wise in handling your health challenges. It still would not be easy, even with support, but you are managing on your own. Gentle hugs.

I had a big drive across town for a rehearsal. There was lots of traffic on the way home. My son made pizza again. It’s nice that he contributes. We all do what we can.

Re: not coping

i was in for a few days post surgery @tyme but then just got out after 10 days of pain treatment
and then go back in for a few days in about 2 weeks for another surgery
no they havent. i wouldnt expect anything less. it was hard enough finding someone to pick me up and drop me to hospital. had to hire supports to do it

Re: not coping

rehearsals sound cool @Appleblossom pity about the traffic though! it gets very frustrating sometimes
my 20 minute drive to work can easily become 45 minutes in peak hour traffic

yummy pizza! i like making homemade pizzas on pita bread or english muffins and then i can add my safe ingrediets due to allergies but they turn out yummy!
im thinking i should make some while im off work!

Re: not coping

@outlander i am really disappointed your family hasn’t been more supportive. I understand pop can’t, but your mother and sister?

the rehearsal is a privilege and a challenge. Beautiful music, good players, the leader is a bit pernickety. I am not sure if I should just get used to him, he has put off a few people. I am going through a theme of needing to toughen up, but musos are often sensitive.
