Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Hi @Shaz51, i am so sorry to read things are getting worse for you, medical problems can sure mount up, it is so hard to manage kidney disease and diabeties, my mum has to do the same as you know, i hope things stabalise for you and you and hubby can find a way through this.

Hi @PeppiPatty, i am so proud of you being so supportive of your husband, it is so special you don't judge him for his illness, this is something i struggle to do. you are a wonderful support and a very loyal person. i am so proud to call you my friend 🙂 mum is almost finished her next embroidery, i will upload a picture for you when she is done.

hugs to you both.

Jacques

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Shaz51

That's not at all good for you nor your husband to have him so anxious about so many things - I can't imagine what that is like - to be worried about so much all the time or to live with so much tension.

And I guess with his MI he will have anxiety and depression and to be worried about everything all the time must be exhausting and there is not a thing we can do about any of those things by worrying - and some of them - we can do nothing at all - like what other people think

And yet you have severe kidney disease and you are looking at a kidney transplant? I have never spoken to anyone who has had or might have an organ transplant. What is that like? Are you looking forward to having a new kidney or are they putting you on the waiting list and you have to have dialysis while you are waiting or is this something in your future

I hope you can have one - if your one kidney is only operating at around a quarter of it's normal operating ability then the toxins in your body are building up as you said

Aw ............ I do wish you the best with this - lots of virtual hugs happening here - even a few left over for hubby with all his worries - which probably fills up his day - alas 😞

Hi @Jacques

It's good to see you there my friend - I will not forget you - I remember the long chats we had when I first joined the site - and although the new members will not know you those of us who have been around a little longer certainly do

I hope your Mum is okay - I know she says she is tough but gee - that was her sister who died - and these things happen

Have the best Christmas possible Jacques -

Re: Night Shift

Thank you for your message @Decadian my friend xoxo

The specialist does not think it will happen for another 10 or 20 years ,or it could be next week but you never know what is around the corner

I said to @NikNik, it is the uncertainity of the future , that is the problem

must be exhausting and there is not a thing we can do about any of those things by worrying - It is but with the help of SANE forum over the past nearly 2 years I have grown over that time , I feeling different but I have still some learning to do xoxo

How are you my friend xx

In response to: Re: Night Shift

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Shaz51

That must be a strange way to live - waiting for a kidney transplant - like not knowing what will happen when you wake up in the morning. Well - none of us do - but a kidney transplant is a big deal

Actually I had forgotten but one of my nieces had corneal transplants when she was a child and they have lasted well all these years - still waiting for any kind of transplant must be an edge-of-the-seat thing -

But you are right - you can't change anything by worrying about it - but we will I guess - trying hard not too

@Jacques

Yes - I did get your Mum mixed up with someone else's - I wish you the best for Christmas and the New Year also. You deserve happiness also - and I know you have made some beautiful models of sailing ships - I would love to be able to do that but I am not at all clever making things - I even have to get other people to wrap up parcels for my family at Christmas - just too awkward - I waste paper and use a lot of bad language so it is far better to get a friend to do the wrapping - or get it done when I buy it

All the best Jacques

Decadian

Re: Night Shift

Hello @Decadian, How are you today xx

Got so many presents from our customers that I am going to wait until January to change my diet a little bit

Hubby has taken up having 2 beers a day lately and me joining in (it is a bit hard not too ) but he said he is going to stop as he thinks it is affecting with his meds

not sure if this is true but it will be good for him and me

Hello @Mazarita, @Jacques,

Hello @Faith-and-Hope, Love the owl xx
