Hi Lee, I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you last night, I kept trying but my phone kept saying "This site can't be reached". I don't know why the mobile data wasn't working in the storm or afterwards 😞
We still have no power so I have to watch my phone battery.
But to reply again to your news from last night...I wanted to say, please never feel you have to reply to any question you don't want to. The last thing I want to do is put any pressure on you.
Having said that, I was glad to hear how you were really doing after your tough appointments...well done for telling your doctor exactly how things are. And I'm really sorry to hear that your therapy session was the toughest you've had 😞
Are you helping the other resident? I wrote last night (before losing the message) that I hoped you could focus on yourself last night... I hope this morning that you are back to managing...
Thinking of you this morning with your big day...I hope the 2 hour meeting with your case worker goes well...I know you're not a morning person. Also that the tests at the hospital go well this afternoon and the anxiety isn't too bad.
Sending lots of care, Lee... ❤

Hey my friend @NatureLover I saw on the news there was some bad storms in Melbourne last night. Glad to see you here so I know you're ok .
I did post super early , I slept for about 2 hours and woke up from a nightmare, it was horrible took me about 10 minutes to realise where I actually was.
Yes my appointmens were very tough , very hard.
I have my meeting in half an hour with my case worker. Will see how that goes.
I'm not sure what else to say, yesterday was so intense. I'm very glad you're here, would be nice to see @Emelia8 come back too.
But @NatureLover I want to thank you in advance.

Yay my last message got through, I don't know why my mobile data hasn't been working...I'm really sorry I might not be there much today...it's out of my control. I'm sorry you only got 2 hours' sleep with a bad nightmare 😥
Not sure I tagged you in last message
Please take care, you are special to me ❤

@NatureLoverits good to see you. I've gotten both the messages. Don't stress, power out and storms are beyond your control.
I met with my new case worker early this morning . We got a lot done.
Shortly my brother is taking me to the hospital for my complex lung function test. No idea what it involves.
I'm just happy to know you're safe from the storms.
Did I say yet it's good to see you?
