For a while I have tried to find a thread I had started when I joined the forum that could be a "home" thread for me.
Being busy about the forum has been a coping style, where I can acknowledge all my different life experiences that had been silenced. Possibly do some good and prevent things from getting worse. Like the little boy with the finger in the dyke.

Aww thanks for the tag @Shaz51 this was a nice lil thread to catch up on!!
@Appleblossom aww you gorgeous thing, thank you for the update! I totally know the feeling, that subtle noticing of progress can be a trip! Every now and then, I still have these little moments where I am kinda baffled by how functional I am? 😅
Really stoked for you, proud of you, and grateful to be able to bear witness to your growth 😊💜

hi @Appleblossom my virtual mum, umm i am ok for the moment, i am having a few medical issues i have an enlarged spleen and gall bladder. i am seeing the doctor today about them. not sure what is going on with them. hopfully nothing too serious.
my partner is going ok, she broke her hip last christmas and is now just getting around, it will take a while to heal, we are going really well, we talk on the phone most of the day every day, we enjoy each others company, i really hope i can meet her one day. we have been together 10 years now.
mum is going really well, her health problems have stabilised and she is actually looking happy.
i hope things have improved for you @Appleblossom you deserve to be happy too. hugs my dear friend.

Is that lady friend that you met years ago on Sane forums ?
It was like a meeting of minds wasn't it .......
@utopia @Faith-and-Hope TAB
My gall stones fell out about 2 weeks ago then got infected then bled so I'm on complete recovery then in about one to two months I'll have the gall bladder out. 😁 Yippee. The world of sane have been propping me up and supporting me.
