@outlander I am tired and going to bed soon. Glad you were well looked after by the hand specialist. I have seen one a long time ago.

@outlander
thanks sweetheart, i used to automatically think i had to call my uncle when things got too hard. now i tell myself i need to deal with this. i dont feel i can turn to him after what happenned last week, and i havent heard from him since i last saw him. i guess its making me stronger and reaching out for supports that i need. i also spoke to my sister tonight on the phone and told her that things are getting worse for mum and that i need to know she is going to be there for me, and mum. as mum is going to need us more than ever.
my mum's older brother came to visit mum today which was nice. i had a talk with him letting him know whats going on with mum. he was more supportive but i dont like to burden him as he is 80 and his wife is in a nursing home. it was nice having him there though.
yes, have a bath woman! i will check up on you tomorrow to make sure you have had one hehe. yep, have been writing stuff down and got some further queries for psych tomorrow. ive actually been reading up on psychotic depression. mum's symptoms mirror a lot of them. its so hard though as a lot of mum's symptoms overlap different diagnoses! aarrgghh
what you doing luv? i hope you're not in too much pain with your hand tonight luv.
i just watched bachelor in paradise hehe ... needed something to watch that i didnt need to pay too much attention to hehe
xx

haha i am sitting on the sofa with the fan on but am chilly too lol ... it was warm when i got home but not anymore. but i cant be bothered getting up! haha so lazy i am sometimes 🙂 i'll just put up with the cold until i hit the sac.
yep, has been a big deterioration in mum in such a small amount of time. and even harder because, as you said, could be a range of things!
oh im glad to hear u had pain relief luv. have some of your other forum friends come back online? i recall you saying some hadnt been on much lately.
ooh i watched the voice on saturday night - it was good! but am a bit addicted to bachelor in paradise *hangs head in shame* hehe

haha @outlander ... im the same.i just went and turned on my electric blanket ... and my fan 🙂 me special! when its cold i turn the fan away from my bed though 🙂 me no silly! lol
i just ate about half a dozen starbursts. enough lollies for tonight me thinks. theyre really hard to chew too!
its hard on these forums when we dont hear from someone as we have no other way of contacting them and we dont know whats happenned. but we form very special connections here.
you are also one of my close connections sweetheart *mwah* ... and i always worry when i dont hear from you. aaw thank you for thinking of me - when im not online much it will be cause im so tied up with mum and just dont have any energy in reserve to do anything when i get home. tonight was good though, i was able to just chill on the sofa and chat with you 🙂
haha i still remember the first ever big brother! that was good 🙂
funny thing is, i didnt watch bachelor in paradise when it started as i swore that i wasnt going to watch it ... hmmmmm .... as we can see that didnt last long! and its getting close to the end now!
aaaw, doesnt sound like youre too keen on your plans tomorrow 😞 when do kids go back to school? yes, u must have a bath!
i will no doubt see mum, but will go in the arvo. will have a break in the morning for some me time. im going to go the jeweller as last week i dropped off mum's wedding and engagement ring to get fixed. they had to be cut off her finger a very long time ago as she had an infection. mum gave them to me and i so want to wear them so i have a piece of her with me. not too much else planned at this stage. will hopefully have a bit of a sleep in - that be nice! my sister is coming over on wednesday to help with housework so i aint gonna bother with that tomorrow.
oh me starting to get sleepy luv. how much do you want to bet that i go to bed and am wide awake? haha
