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

How did your day go @utopia? The Centrelink appt, shopping. Bet your feeling a lot more relaxed. More stuff on tomorrow, right?

Re: HOME

Was 4 hours with mum. Centrelink etc only took ten minutes. It took mum that long to choose the handles for her new kitchen cupboard. Then she had to pick colours etc. And then shopping.
I'm very relieved I didn't have to do Conciliation today.
Saw my gp. All good.
Tomorrow afternoon is our Family Meeting with my Psychologist. I'm not thinking about it now. Just keeping relaxed.
How has your day been?

You're a good daughter @utopia. Hope the meeting tomorrow goes well for you.

I had internet problems today. Very frustrating. An hour and a half on the phone to Optus. Surprisingly, a tech came out late this afternoon and took about a minute to fix it. That's the third time in six months!

Glad the GP visit was good too. Bet you'll be looking forward to the weekend now.

Re: HOME

@soul - Internet and computer/phone problems are a huge irritation. You were lucky to get someone out so quickly.
Yes I'm looking forward to the weekend and having this week be over.
Tomorrows appointment will be tough for all 3 of us. But I'm determined to listen clearly to what my son has to say. Fingers crossed we all walk away tomorrow feeling better for getting things off our chest.

Re: HOME

They sure can be @utopia. At least it's all fixed until the next time. It's hard to believe how we functioned before these devices but we did.

I hope you go into the meeting with love in your heart and an open mind. We, as humans are hard wired into having connections with others and when they fail because of whatever reason, it is a sad thing. Have had far too much of that in my life.

Wishing you well.
