Re: catching up

I know you are right Jacques if I don't get it done now I will never do it. Its just scary I don't want it to get any worse. The pain is already crippling me. I understand why your mum is in tears.

I'm about to have a hot shower , wash the day away.
talk to you later.

Re: catching up

My angel, if you are atthe point of being crippled, it really can't get any worse, i have seen many sucessful knee replacements, as well as many not so successful, but all of them gave some movement back. It must be hard also having the pain as a reminder of what your husband did to you. if you get the knee replacement, you are one step to mending your self and your mind.

i do hope one day all the little reminders of what he did to you fade away, the man that died the other day i was telling you about, he was in Viet Nam and he had Terrible PTSD, so much so he could not sleep in the same room as his wife because he would wake up in the middle of the night and think she was the enemy, he managed to overcome the PTSD, it took a long time and a lot of help from friends and family, but he got their, i know you can too Karen, with support of your treating team, psych professionals and me all supporting you, you can get to have a happy life again.

I have just had a long hot shower and am about to see what the internet has to offer me tonight, i hope you enjoy your shower, i can smell the sandlewood from here 😄

Re: catching up

Oh my angel, please don't get too upset, I get that every night, it is part of the side effects of our meds.

Maybe I could massage your shoulders to make them less tense. 🙂

Tonight I am listening to music and playing games.

I am so scared of later tonight, my panic attack is still bad and I am scared it is going to get worse later on.

Karen, do you think trying to take some deep breath will help? Maybe relaxing will help calm your muscles.

Re: catching up

You know me too well j my breathing is not so great how's yours?
Im here with you holding your hand just think of me watching over you when you are scared I will be right beside you.

Re: catching up

That would be nice Karen, I would like to be close to you right about now, I feel so alone. I will only take up a little of the blanket for my cold feet 🙂

My breathing is not great either, I am trying to be mindful but my mind is drifting easy tonight.

I do Karen, most nights I lay in bed till 2-3am just thinking of you, you help me make it through each and every night, gosh I am such a mess, I just find nights so triggering now.

Deep breaths my princess, breath in and out with my heart beat. Can you hear it?

Re: catching up

I can as I close my eyes I can hear the steady beats of your heart I feel safe with you jacques.

I think of you and the strength you have to get through every day. I never want to let you down. I want you to be proud of me.

Re: catching up

Oh my angel, I feel so safe with you too, I only feel safe with you.

Karen, I have always been proud of you, ever since the day we met I was so proud of you.

You are such a kind, caring wonderful lady, to me you are perfect. You always have been 🙂

Jacques I don't know what to say your opinion means so much to me.

the electrician was at the house today. He put in a new circuit board and ceiling fans in the bathrooms and some new lights it was expensive. I worry that im being taken advantage of because im a female. I just don't trust them. Its so triggering having to deal with so many men. At least the house should be safe now.

I'll move over so you have enough room under the blanket. Thank you for the massage I really enjoyed it
