Re: not coping

Hi there @outlander ... thanks so much for those pictures .. they are beautiful. I especially love the flowers ... the colours are gorgeous, those pinks mauves and purples. And the cat hugging the toy puppy ... how sweet.

How are you today @outlander ? Surely you should be starting to notice some improvement by now. Its taking so long, you poor thing. Little wonder you are feeling so down. Hopefully you will soon turn a corner, and then things can only get better.

Hi there @Anastasia @Snowie.

How did your tests go this morning @Bunniekins ? You are probably catching up on sleep today after needing to be away all last night.

Emelia 🌺

@Emelia8 @Anastasia 💜💚

theres no change 😞 its actually a really bad day. im starting to struggle with the pain esp when its often intense and doesnt respond to pain meds much just enough to make it a constant ache rather then a pain.

i asked a few massage therapists if they might consider doing a light massage because my whole body is just so sore and achy now (prob not helping the pain im already in) but no one will do one because its usually not good with a concussion so they wont do it unless i feel ok or unless the dr says its ok to do it.
its been nearly 2 weeks. its starting to get to me even more mentally too. i dont have much energy, going to the shops and bringing in a load of washing i done yesterday almost wiped me out. im usually going all day but im struggling to even get up now. ive barely even done my horses this week. not even clients horses-theyve been put on hold for a week.
i also have to be resting mentally so limiting anything that mentally stimulating even tv and phones etc.

Re: not coping

even more bad news is that my hospital insurance wont cover my next lot of dental work (which would also help the headaches i occassionally get from the dental injuries) until this time next yr so nearly 12 months. i guess the only good thing about that is itll give me a chance to pay off all my other bills and save without being overly stressed out about money.
