Re: rough time
Hi there @outlander . My day has had moments of productivity. Changed bedding and towels, did a load of washing, put all the laundry away, completed some paperwork which needed to be done in relation to my volunteer work, emailed my psych to check in as she asked, and I got my old sewing machine out and did some clothing alterations and repairs.
How about you beautiful girl?

Re: rough time
Your day sounds good @Former-Member very productive well done. 💗
My day mostly consisted of eye rolls, sighing and pain killers but ive had a shower and retreated to my room with some music and chatting here which is much nicer.

Re: rough time
Thanks 😀
Was the pain killers for the teeth, the foot, or some thing else?
What type of music do you like, and what are you listening to now? I am watching some cricket, with a T20 game currently on. Not a team I follow, but result has a baring on semi final positions.
Do you have much planned for tomorrow?

Re: rough time
Yeah my teeth are giving me all sorts of troubles.. wondering if i can do a transplant from the shoulders up 🤔😕😣
They arent even working properly anyway and i have to monitor more cause i think i took pain killers too close together last night.
My foot is getting alot better just achy after a long day or twinges if to much pressure but no pain relief for thats been needed for a week now.
Hmm i like all sorts of music and kinda varies on my mood. Ive just got a mixed paylist on atm.
I think my pop is watching cricket unless hes out a movie on now.
Tomorrow is abit busier with meeting someone to show them paddocks for the property owner since shes at work and also have a 3 hr paddock cleaning job and continuing to deal with things happening here too. The horses are getting done first thing after i take the kids to school though
What about you?

Re: rough time
Oops sorry @outlander for my temporary absence. I had dozed off to sleep in front of the tele. 😴
Hmmm, sorry the teeth are continuing to be painful. Really hope you hear something soon about getting in to have something done about that. Good to hear the foot, at least, has improved. I guess you do need to go a bit easy on in for a while yet however. Probably best to stay off it as much as possible and elevate it when you can. Your working in the paddocks and with horses does not really sound compatible with your needs in that regard? But I do understand your need to do what you are doing.
Tomorrow, I have organised for a handyman/gardener to come and do a few jobs around the house and yard. Stuff I am unable to do myself and things which hubby is definitely no longer able to do. Some heavy gardening things, some chainsaw work, some plumbing work, build a step and rail from our deck to the garage so hubby has a chance to negotiate it without falling, things like that. So that will be nice to have a few jobs done which have been annoying me because I cannot do them.
And I am hoping to get to my pilates class later in the day. I missed a week as wasnt feeling up to it, so I really want to get there tomorrow.
And of course ... the usual ... ie carers duties, which you know all too well about. Thats a constant isnt it? It really is a big ask for someone as young as yourself to be a full time carer. I would seriously consider if it is the right thing for you, and perhaps for your Pop too. I think I read you have an apt with your Pops GP? I guess that is to discuss options for him and see what his entitlements may be. I hope that proves to be an informative session, and one which you can base your decision on as to what needs to be done.
You sound a little lonely tonight sweetheart? Has it been another difficult day for you?
Okay, so my apologies, I am falling asleep at the wheel here. Have taken my medication and need to get to bed. Can we talk again tomorrow?
If you're okay ... I'm off to bed now. Let me know asap if you need someone to sit with you, as I may be able to stay awake a little longer. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy your music mixed playlist. I'm an oldie and tend to like 60's and 70's music.

Re: rough time
Hey @outlander , just checking in quickly to see that you are okay? You seemed to go off line suddenly last night and I have been a little worried. Hope you are okay. Chat when you find the time in your busy day.

Re: rough time
Hey @Former-Member
sorry I didnt meant to worry you, things got abit much after something triggerred me last night. I dissappeared. Im so out of sorts lately I dont know what to do with myself but yes your right lonliness is one of those emotions 😞
tried contacting a helpline and they didnt help, just went in circles, cant blame them though dont evne know what I expected.
im thinking about contacting the dental team and asking if they at least have a rough month as I will need to have things arranged for pop, hotels etc as well.
I done an hr and a half this morning at the horses as well as feeding and things and im suppose to do more but I think ill leave it till tomorrow now.
Im still resting it where possible, ice, muscle creams and physio. Itll get there eventually....
I really hope youve had some sleep overnight, that your gardening and jobs get done and that you can get to your pilaties as well. That would be really good for you too.
Im sorry, my post just isnt great today. Feels very empty.

Re: rough time
Not a problem @outlander . I'm just really sorry to hear a little of what was going on for you last night. Thank goodness you found a way through.
Certainly sounds like a good idea to try to get some sort of idea or commitment from your dental team. Surely if you explain your carers role and your need to make alternative arrangements for your pop in your absence, they should be able to give some surety. Especially when you will also need to make travel and accommodation bookings. Worth trying at any rate.
The handyman/gardener is a lovely middle aged fellow. Hard working and is willing and able to do just about anything related to home and garden maintenance. He got so much done. Its great. If I need anything more done, I would have no problem getting him back.
Thanks, yes I got some sleep last night, though disrupted. And I even got into town for my pilates class. I had added incentive to do so - needed bread, milk and a script for hubby. So I did that on my way in.
How did your day finish up? I read in todays Community Wrap about your commendation for one of your many supportive posts on the carers forum. Well done, it was a much deserved recognition of the support you provide to others here.
Sherry 💕
