Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Sounds tough for you both @Shaz51. Is there any sort of pattern to his ups and downs?

Hi @Former-Member

It seems to go around in cycles

I think it is mostly about work, we have cut back on the workload but sometimes you do get a big week , but then he worries if we have too much work and worries if we have a slack week --

we can cut back even more but then he panics

but also he has been cutting his meds back to half the amount , which after a couple of days he has to start taking the full dose again because he can`t cope and he know I can tell the difference

Also with the meds he is always feeling tired and feeling very slack

I asked him how he was this afternoon and he said he is feeling low

and I asked do you know why and he said he doesn`t know why but he said he is feeling old

Lots of us can probably relate to feeling old when we get tired @Shaz51. But it certainly sounds like he's struggling. Hopefully the cycle will right itself in the next day or two and you can both relax a little.

Thinking of you

Hello @Former-Member

Thank you xx

We just had a talk about it and he has gone to sleep now

so we will see how everything is in the morning

Good morning @Former-Member .... 😊

Well done you ! .... continuing to walk through the soreness phase. You should start getting some speedy results within the first couple of weeks, and that is always very encouraging. You won't know yourself soon ....

.... And you've put in a "for others" effort with that vacuuming. You're a good friend @Former-Member ❣

PTL - your new washing machine will make life a bit easier too ....

🌷💜

Thanks for the coffee .... ☕️💕 .... gotta get up and out for my walk now.

How did that happen @Faith-and-Hope - do they have any arrangements for people unable to sit an exam on a certain date or it passing one exam enough

Which I thought it was

You do get some perfect storms - wow - so if D3 has to sit an exam in the morning you go overseas is there time before her flight

Life seems so unreasonable at times - and organising trips is complex as is organising courses

All the best with that

I am glad to hear that @Faith-and-Hope

What is she planning to study? I know she is having a gap-year which seems a good idea all the time - it is quite different when people get into tertiary studies

As a private tutor I would notice the difference - people in Year 12 have everyone pushing them and pushing them - as if there was not already enough pressure - and then the culture shock of further studies can be a bit shattering - no one cares any more - people are given their assignments and no one is on their back - as if Year 12 is the be all and end all of life - which makes life really really hard and you already know this

But a gap year gives students perspective - other life - whatever it is - gives a person a chance to change gears

So I wish her all the best - and the rest of you - I hope this holiday is the best ever for everyone
