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

Looks like there is a cancellation, so I might be able to get my next tattoo done Wednesday next week. To add to my Eucalyptus leaves, this will be Black wattle. Fern like leaves with bright yellow blossoms.

I hope the appointment is still available.

Re: HOME

Yep I got the appointment @Former-Member. All set for Wednesday. Yes it is something to look forward to. Something positive.
@Faith-and-Hope - not like that picture. Full colour. Full branch - thick. Prefer my tattoos look like the real thing rather than a soft feminine look.

Re: HOME

A lot more realistic @Faith-and-Hope. I might have to post a picture here.

Re: HOME

Hi @utopia - whereabouts is the tattoo going?

Re: HOME

@Former-Member my current tattoo is on my shoulder, top of my arm. This next one will go next to and slightly further down the arm. Still above the elbow.

Re: HOME

I've had an okay day today. Read a book. Cleaned up under tree.

Tree is being cut down tomorrow. The men arrive at 7.30am - yuk - to start cutting the tree. Have been starting to get a little anxious about it. It will be a noisy day and will take most of the day and they will be invading my space.

Have a busy week. Tuesday is psychiatrist appointment in Melbourne. Wednesday is new tattoo. Thursday is psychologist and then the Nurse Practitioner and then my first appointment with Move Australia Case Worker. He will be coming to my house. Not a fan of people coming and seeing my mess.

Friday I see my gp to get a new Centrelink Medical Certificate and to get the stitches removed from my arm. Will get the results from pathology that day too. Although gp thinks the mole looked okay. Have to speak with her about my breathing. Am struggling with breath. Especially first thing in the morning when I wake up. And I wake in the middle of the night coughing.

Think I might have to take some PRNs to help calm me down a little as this anxiety is rising. Don't want it to get worse, cos then my breathing gets worse as well.
