Sharing my life with Ms Sophie (Bipolar II)

How are you going @Sophie1 ?

Hi @Former-Member

i went into office today - MsS drove me to office early and I’m on train on way home now - hip was agony walking up hill to train station after work - 10 minute walk exhausted me .. hip joint / groin pain 7/10 ... 🥴... however outer hip and glute that had injections on Tuesday had hardly any pain so that’s great 😁 ... I have my leg up on train seats to ease hip pain .. that’s me ... hope this pain goes away

Great you are noticing the difference post injections @Sophie1 . Hope you can get a good result with the next lot that is scheduled, sounds as though it can't come soon enough. How is Ms S faring - any relief?

@Former-Member MsS has a few good days after her injections then migraine came back behind eye again - she will see specialist again to understand this result mid June - fingers crossed for some next steps - new psychiatrist first appointment in early June so very hopeful there too ... I’d have to say tho that MsS seems very functional of late in terms of driving , keeping appointments and helping me out with my bung hip doing extra trips upstairs downstairs in our house for me - anyway I’m exhausted so better zzzz

Bless Ms S, she quite likely feels she is returning the TLC you have given her.

@Sophie1

@Former-Member That is exactly what happens !!! Lol x

How has your week been @Sophie1

Hi @Former-Member I am interstate visiting my older brother , his wife and my niece who is turning 5 !

I am very happy and enjoying their company - even though they bicker a lot - but it’s just their way -

my hip is still sore but managing with meds

MsS saw her new psych last week and it was a success - they clicked really well and the psych even asked for me to attend next appointment for a one hour session so we can talk together !!! I am so impressed and hopeful 🙂

at last things are going our way

MsS is home alone this long weekend so that is a good year of her mental emotional health - fingers crossed !!!!

How r u ?

Trust mini break goes ok @Sophie1 and that you have an enjoyable time in spite of hip and bickering. Hope Ms S manages too.

Lovely that appt with pdoc went well. Open communication makes so much difference.

Made a brief start on tackling the shed before lunch, not a job for the faint hearted ... will update in decluttering thread later.
