Just seems to get harder, some people are made tougher cause of the challenges. Its not always fair.

Re: rough time

Urgh traffic chaos is crappy. We have a heap of roadworks here so its honestly just a big mess. What use to take 10 minutes we now have to leave at least 5/10 min earlier 😐 @Appleblossom
But glad you had a good day with your son otherwise

Re: rough time

Hi and good morning @Former-Member @outlander and thanks for the tags. And also to @Appleblossom @Snowie @Molliex @Maggie and anyone else here today. Hope today goes to plan and has some highlights in it for all of you.

Outlander I'm so sorry to hear that the facial nerve and slow dental recovery are still causing such problems. (I just googled treatment for 'palsy' after dental surgery and it sounds like there are a couple of things your surgeon can do, other than just more surgery - as always can't mention the meds here) I think it's outrageous that you are being told to wait so long with such pain before you can have any treatment. And that the effects of your other procedure still haven't settled down either. I really feel for you. I truly think you're amazing the way you soldier on when others would be laid flat. Very much hope you are getting some rest periods and that your mother is stepping up and putting less of a load on you while you recover.

I hope the appointment re your pop is a good one and they ask all the right questions for you to paint a full picture of what happens for him, and thus for you. Take care lovely xx

I have another driving lesson (no. 2) this morning and am seriously hoping there's not too much traffic chaos out there with it being cup day. Normally it's one of the 2 days a year that I boycott the world (an anniversary of a sad time for me) so it will be an extra challenge for that reason. With my psychologist's advice I changed the lesson plan they wanted me to do, so at least it will be an hour, not 1 1/2 hours.

Have a better day everyone.

Re: rough time

Morning @eth
unfortunately its a little bit more then loss of muscle function. they usually class it as dental paraesthesia but mine is an IAN damage. there are some bandaid solutions but im ok with surgery being an option too even though the thought is scary and recovery is a harder slog.

the cramping has eased thankfully. i haven't taken any pain meds for it since yesterday afternoon which is an improvement (was on 2 different meds every 4 hrs) but its only when pain is intense now or when my teeth decide its their turn 😣😣

good luck with your driving lesson today. i know how nerve wracking it is to drive in such busy traffic too. hopefully it wont be to busy for you and that the days not to challenging from the anniversary too. ill be around if you need someone 💛💛

Re: rough time

Thanks @outlander . Good to hear some of your pain at least has eased. And that you are fully informed about what's happening with your facial nerves.

I went straight from the driving lesson to my water tai chi class which really helped me relax. The driving lesson today didn't freak me out like it did the first one. Plus I was able to ask the instructor to slow down a bit and he did. Even tho' he talks a lot - a lot! - he seems to be able to listen too.

When is the meeting about your pop's needs? That's the sort of thing I'd be making a note of anything I thought of for a few days beforehand. Hope you feel prepared for it and get some good outcomes.

xoxo

Re: rough time

thanks @eth has been a big of a crazy day. I think I may need to get a checkup tomorrow. im getting pretty bad asthma type signs after running today (a young girl had an accident so needed to get there as quick as possible). ill see how I go overnight but can see dr in the morning if need be. I cant get rid of this cough.

im really glad that your driving lesson went well today and the water tai chi sounds to have topped it off.

the meeting is on Thursday morning and goes for around 2 hrs so is quite a big one. there isn't much to prepare for to be honest. theres not really a starting point but this support worker is very experienced so ill just listen and answer/add in as we go.
