Twisted -self care

Twisted -self care

Every morning I drive east into the sun.
At traffic lights I put sunscreen on the backs of my hands.
This morning I realised that this is self care,
Very rare for me.
I need to do more of this....

Hearing you @Catcakes.

If that level of fatigue continues can you take him back to the emergency department ?

He won’t go @Faith-and-Hope,
I tried to get him to have investigations earlier but he seems intent on waiting until the specialist appointment . We have an interstate function next week and another the week after but I honestly don’t know how he will manage.

Re: Twisted -self care

Uh-huh ..... familiar with that ..... 😕

And the worry of it rolls back onto you .....

Re: Twisted -self care

Yeah, but it’s in my nature to worry @Faith-and-Hope.
It’s making me feel sick myself.
My D2 with the liver disease just came in with swollen glands, sore throat and headache so I’ve sent her to bed with painkillers ( which she’s not really supposed to have) . I’ll check her eyes for jaundice tomorrow 😏
It’s just never ending sometimes...

It is hard to look after yourself with so much going on .... not only so much stuff, but serious stuff ....

Hugs @Catcakes ..... 💜

Re: Twisted -self care

Any time I can @Catcakes .....

I have had wonderful people listening to me here for the last two years now .....

Little good things add up too, not just little bad things ..... so try to counterweigh with small joys where you find them. It was lovely to hear you were having mushrooms on toast in the coffee shop (yesterday ?)

I can’t really stand my own company but the mushrooms were good.
