HOME

Well I'm finally home (again).
4 hospital stays in 91 days. Wow. No wonder it feels so strange to be in my own house again. Adjusting will take time. Cooking for myself will take time.
My house is in the same condition in which I left it. A pigsty. So no one room has warmth and charm to lift my mood. Will have to slowly start cleaning up - one room at a time.
I did go and watch my son play soccer in the finals. I'd been so sick this year - thst it was the first game I had been to all year. His team lost. But they play again next week. So still stand a chance of playing the grand final.
My son is still living with my mum. Has been since the end of April. Hopefully he will see how much I've improved on my new anti depressants and anti anxiety meds. Then he may choose to come home soon.
Was up and doing the washing early this morning. But now reading a book in bed.
Am very bored. But have AA Meeting tomorrow night.
And I have my WorkCover IME (independent Medical Examination) - psych interview with a tough psychiatric on the 30th of this month. Think it could be on Wednesday. And then I have my much waited for Psychologist appointment. Can't see him when I'm in hospital (too far away).
So that's it for now. A new thread for a new beginning.

Re: HOME

That is tough @utopia You are stuck between what your mum needs and what you want. Is it only for the one night? Will you be able to manage for the night?

Re: HOME

I'll manage tonight @Zoe7. I pick my son up from work at 9pm. Then I only have an HR and a half of trying to make conversation with him before bed. And he has to have a shower, so that will take 30 minutes - teenagers..

So I'm not as freaked out as I was earlier.

Re: HOME

Yes @Zoe7 An easy/ish night. 20 minutes watching soccer (boring) . Then he's in the shower. Now he's in his room. Not as hard as I thought it would be.

Woke son at 10am. Kept going back into his room and telling him to get up. At 11am I did grocery shopping and picked up some of his school books for next year. Got home. He's in the shower. The last thing he did last night was have a shower. He hasn't done any work to need a shower. He finally gets out of shower at 11.27. 10 minutes later I go to find him because he should be out here mowing the grass. He's got his shorts on but can't decide what T-shirt to wear. To mow the bloody grass!!!

Wet towel on floor. Breakfast bowl next to bed. I screamed at him to get out. Go back home. My mum had rung at 11.30 to see if he'd finished the garden and she'd pick him up. He wasn't even dressed by then.

I can't handle his bulls hit. His pissfarting around for 1 hour and 40 minutes. So I was done and told him to get out.

Worse mother in the world award, coming to me.
