Re: not coping

if all goes well itll come off in 2 weeks time @tyme around the 17th. i see the specialist if he approves it and then i see physio and get them to check functionality and if they approve i can take it off so not to long now.

i get to bored sitting at home. sitting in hospital for nearly 3 weeks is enough time to not be doing anything for me. im out of tv shows to watch!
i have to have a few tests done atm for another clotting disorder hopefully nothing serious.

@Snowie @Eve7 @Emelia8 @Jynx @Appleblossom @Sans911
sending love to you all. thinking of you lots

Hi @outlander

Good to hear from you hon. Thanks for the update.

No doubt you are getting bored. Must be frustrating for you too especially since you are normally always on the go.

I have no tv shows to suggest!!

Re: not coping

i think ive watched most of netflix, stan, prime, paramount and that tubi-free movie app thing @Snowie
im very much over tv now!

i dont mind the slower pace to be honest it means less intense clients but more clients, shorter shifts so thats good too.
im getting in to much pain and to much fatigue at the moment. i work for a few hours and then nap, work a little longer then in bed by 730 most nights!

Re: not coping

Hopefully the naps are helping @outlander You must need them.

Early nights are happening here too.

Re: not coping

@outlander @You have had a hard road. Your setup with short shifts and low key clients sounds reasonable. Even dealing with chronic pain ( I have had it since mid 20s), some work has best outcomes BUT it has to be reasonable for YOU.

Take care bella

Re: not coping

Sounds like you dont' get a break, do you @outlander ???

I hope your moonboot gets booted soon and you'll be able to be back on your feet properly. Do you need rehab later?

Look after yourself.
