ugh not again no

Oh wow @Former-Member

Just reading what @Former-Member@Former-Member@Appleblossom and others have written I can identify

I haven't got around to SH but I do enough to myself when I fall apart - I feel as if I have been banging my head into a brick wall - and it's so hard to endure

When I read that sometimes nurses get together had decide to give the patients a hard time - I have heard that myself - nurses telling old ladies they will have to go to a bad place if they don't get up for breakfast - and they are crying that they can't -

Well - this used to be on a Saturday morningl - I wouldn't get up for breakfast myself - but they couldn't scare me either - but I do know that nurses can be harsh at times

Their problem actually - what goes around comes around and for you being dismissed is a hard thing - it is for me to - but I give as good as I get - and that can backfire

But it is different for everyone - and I will be thinking of you

Hi @Former-Member

I wish - I want to go back to bed and pull the covers over my head and wish that PDF docs could self-destruct - but my case worker is helping me with this

I have to go shopping today - on Saturday I went to the local shops and yesterday - I didn't need to go out - but today I am dressed and waiting for a driver

I am concerned about Olive - I wrote a post - but that girl needs so much help - I felt so helpless - but I responded

It's impossible for us to know the best thing to say - there are so many I find I can't even read - but we can do our best

Thanks Tawney

Hi @Former-Member

Bless you - I feel as if I really know you - in face in this forum I think that we are anonymous - and as long as we protect that we can be honest

I hate it when I have a different driver - I have to explain everything and putting shopping away is a nightmare - I would rather do it myself - back pain or no back pain - ahhhhhh - I could scream explaining - I know where everything goes and so do my regulars

But I have some proper food now -

How do you get those little hearts and things - I used to have them but they disappeared when I reset my computer

Now I can take it easy for a while - I recorded Dr Phil so I can watch that while my spine sorts itself out

Chaos - it's a busy week and I do not do well on busy weeks - one thing at a time - right

Hi @Former-Member

I do go easy on my drivers and domestic helpers - they actually like coming here

But when I am in a lot of pain it really tries my patience - my regulars are fine - but the one-off don't know where to put things - and I can stand in my kitchenette and hardly move my feet to put things away - and my preference is just to leave things on the bench or hang the ironing on a doorknob - I try and preempt a problem

It's so long ago now but I was a Technical Clinician for people with MS - so I have seen the other side too - and people vary - and sometimes are unreasonable - and no way would I want to be like that

I am venting a bit here - my weekend wasn't bad - pretty good actually - but Friday was bad - too much stress - and today was full of activities - I don't handle stress well - and particularly at this time of year

But I have been much better this year - tonight I feel really tired

However - I do have good news - I have macular degeneration in my family - close relatives too - and I had a visual disturbance - and I need to get my glasses straightened and I was lucky that the optomestrist was there and I asked her - no need to worry about macular degeneration - the disturbance happens when I have been watching TV or on the computer for too long - so I am cutting back my time -

So that was very good news - it's good to share good news

Hi @Former-Member, we haven't heard from you for a while. I'm just wondering how everything is going. I very much hope your injury is healing. Thinking of you, sending hugs😊💜
