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.

@Shaz51 - oh tendons are a bugger. They take months to heal and are never the same again. I hope the scan doesn't show a break in the bone or tendon. Just a bad sprain.

Re: HOME

That's not good @Shaz51. My gp just confirmed osteo arthritis in my ankle and foot. The one I broke 2 and 1/2 years ago. Now I know why the constant pain.

I hope your hubby doesn't have any more troubles

Re: HOME

I'm good today thanks @Shaz51. Had my psychiatrist appointment in Melbourne today. So much cooler there than up here in the country.

I hope your day was good.

Re: HOME

Re: HOME

@Shaz51. A quick appointment as usual. Told psychiatrist there is no depression. So we are staying on current meds without any changes.

Feels weird.

I have no depression, yet I'm not happy, or content or anything. Just stuck in limbo land. A strange place to be.

And how are you my friend? I hope your Mr is behaving.

We are having a h8gh temperature spell - from yesterday for the next few days. Seems like this summer has already had more days over 40 than any previous year, and we're still only in January.

Re: HOME

Thats great he has no depression @Shaz51 & good to hear the mental health team spoke with him for 40 minutes. Sounds like he is pro active at the moment. No so resistant as he has been in the past.

Yes, the hot weather zaps me of all energy. I can't go outside and do anything.
