Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor23 Sept 2015, 4:13 am AEST

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.

I have been busy- getting jobs at home, appointments, visiting people and of course looking after Milo and Millie. I did know about your knee- what is the plan with your injury?

Re: Night Shift

okay fair enough @oceangirl its good to be busy. Um got knee examined, they werent sure. sent for MRI, went for review they just said osteo arthritis okay but something had upset it, so from what first dr said guess that means cartiledge(?) anyway they didnt really pull on it like first dr did so no real pain, so I though oh it must be better. it seems better mostly, can get in and out of car normally now. only thing is now other knee is doing something similar as of a day ago anyway will get another sick cert I guess

Re: Night Shift

@TAB Glad you had the MRI tab- you were waiting to have it, the last time I spoke to you. You need to lose the extra pounds - it will help with your joints. A thing that is good for your knee might be the golden paste (turmeric life).

I'm just trying to work my way through this, the best way I can. Tomorrow/today going for a pool swim and not sure what else but my priority is the pool.
