Living with Ourselves

hello @eudemonism @eth @outlander @Bunniekins @Mazarita @Silenus @NameUnknown @Grasshopper3 @patientpatient @soul @Former-Member @Determined @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Friendconnect @Teej @utopia @Queenie @Appleblossom @Zam @perseverer @Janna @Owlunar @Former-Member @Former-Member

First of all I wanted to let you know that I have conversed with all of you at some stage on both sides of the forum..

It was my intention to close two of my threads and change my name in the kindest way for all of you...

I commenced this process on the 12th March and today is the first day that I have access to actually post or respond to anyone....I was in the last couple of days able to register a new name and like some posts...

I am so sorry that my profile ended so abruptly that was definitely not my intention....

In fact if I had done it my way.. instead of thinking would be better to be guided through the process....I would have just written on one of my threads my reason for closing my account tagging you all in....then requested account to be closed and username put to bed so to speak

I have chosen to take this path in order to protect my family's sense of safety .. privacy...health..

Please let me reassure you that this has nothing to do with any members on here...

I have tagged each and everyone of you because you have given me support and invited me into a little of your worlds...priceless experiences...I have felt heard and valued on here....Thank you all so much..

Moving forward ...this is who I am now and hope to be able to converse on the forum living in the now not the past...therefore no mention of my previous username necessary...

If you do not know who I am...that is fine also...perhaps all of the above is not relevant for you..

take care

Hello @Former-Member @Maggie @Adge

I think that I am assessing each day and working out from there rest or exercise?

I think that I bolted out of the stables after the surgery...then once home assumed that I had moved to earlier recovery..

After weaning off painkillers came to realisation ouch hurts....further complication internally set me way back...

I know that when I had two bulging discs in my back about 15 years ago...I improved to a certain stage then slowed down in improvement rate..eventually recovering..

I do know that psychological side has huge impact...so having mind struggles impedes to a certain degree..

I still believe that full recovery is achievable ..I am only 3 months into post operation....-2 year recovery...up to 3 years checkups..

So focussing on each day is far easier to deal with..

@Former-Member How is your pain these days?

@Adge antibiotics worked.

@Maggie Your hysicl pin levels?

mine sounds difficult...

yours have been chronic far longer..I realise this is why all three of you can be empathic..

you also get by on your own..

I feel for all of you..💚💜♥️💝🐾👣

Re: Living with Ourselves

Oh @Sophia1, we do have to pace ourselves. My pain is bevoming a blurr these days. The shoulder the worst atm but the Rt hip today 😞 most unusual - probably from lower back... Just gotta not focus on it and keep moving - gently. 😲
