Hello again everyone. I'm sorry for not posting lately but since Eddie died I have been dozing a lot during the day. My back is stopping me from sleeping well at night. Can't get comfortable.

I am trying very hard to be more positive but as a pessimist it's not easy! Lol. Had to cancel my counselling on Sat because my car was off the road. Have to take it for MOT this arvo. Fingers crossed!

I was feeling ok at the weekend. I managed to sort out my bedroom on Sat. Yesterday I spent a lot of time cutting my grass. I have a huge area of grass & I had let it get rather long. I felt so much better when I had finished even if I was exhausted.

Hugs to all those that need them. Take care of yourselves everyone.

Morning Gill and Carole,
Don't think about tomorrow Carole, live one day at a time and get through today first, you will be ok. The more you think of it the more you may need to go maybe.
Hows your back this morning Gill, I noticed too about the night shift, best to just keep out of it altogether.
I'm having an alarming time this morning, when I try to walk an almighty pain shoots up from my hip, might spend day in bed flat out.

Good morning, I'm not going to sing it as it's a work day, so I'm already worried about getting to town of work today, but more so of tomorrows place of work as it's so far away, and not many places to stop where there is a loo.

Have a peaceful day and I'll "see" you later xxxx

Morning all

I will be reading only for a while, my health is that good at the moment and my depression is getting worse. I like to read all the threads first thing in the morning but today I see the old 'night shift' are starting up again and I avoid that lot like the plague.

Take care I will try and post tomorrow.

Gill

Hello everyone, it's been an extra stressful few days here. My (challenged) daughter's cat went missing. I was called home from work because my daughter had been taken to hosp by ambulnce unconscious. She's very fragile emotionally so I thought "panic attack". However the pupils of her eyes remained dilated for 7 hours and because of that, the doc was certain that something neurological had happened - possibly seizure or stroke. Unable to prove either, so she came home, and has been deeply depressed since. The following day we found the cat under the back porch, but couldn't catch her, in fact she became VERY resistive. the next day she was under the front porch and badly clawed someone trying to catch her for my daughter. Today after lunch, I heard my daughter squeal and there she was with the cat in her arms. Apparently she had been hiding in the basement and decided it was time to make an appearance. I expected that we may have to take her to be put down as she had clawed at people, but now I believe she was simply scared stiff because she'd never been outside before. So peace reigns temporarily, Meg is happy as can be, her "baby" is back, purring away. This has totally involved my hours at home since last Wednesday. trying to get Meg to eat and drink, trying to get her to go to bed, not to stay up, pacing the floor. Really haven't had time to assess my own mood!!!!
To those I owe pm's, apologies, I just haven't been able to think straight, the past few days.
Now to get the foundation at the back of the house repaired, where it was pulled apart in a 16 foot wide section, to try and find the cat. Broken all my fingernails in the effort!!
More good news, my grandson seems to be recovering from the major seizure episode which left him dragging his leg and not using his right arm. He's eating right-handed again and is now able to run, a bit hobbledy but doesn't seem to have any discomfort. What a blessing.
The grandkids' father has re-appearedafter 7 weeks MIA, and is finally making some effort to catch up his child support arrears.
Have to go for a scope next week, not looking forward to that.
Sending hugs to all.
Mary

Nite nite everyone sleep well and may all your dreams be happy ones

gill,
I am wondering if your back ache is a kidney infection, or even a kidney stone. maybe if it is still bad tomorrow you should get an earlier emergency appointment. I hope you soon feel better.

Lorraine, I will be thinking of you tomorrow and hoping you and David get the help you need.

I always feel guilty coming on here because I have so little wrong with me, just the backache which is with me all the time and the still sore/tender scar and so many of you have such debillitating worries. But I like to keep in touch with everyone and hope that maybe I can offer support. I do think of you all very much, even when not posting and send you all positive thoughts.

hello caz

no I haven't been moving furniture or anything, but I do have a temperature and a dread stomach ache.. perhaps it's a bug, I see the Dr weds so he can decide what's best.

(((((((((((hugs)))))))))

Gill

Hello all,
Gill there is nothing worse than a bad back is there, hope it improves for you. If it came on suddenly, have you been moving furnature about, years and years ago I pulled a muscle very badly in my back, I was laid up on a board, I had been moving a wardrobe and didn't feel anything until next day.
Rach I'm glad this thread has helped you, I don't know what I would have done without it. Such lovely people with problems of their own but always thinking about others, and always someone there for you.
Lorraine I will be thinking of you tomorrow, hope you manage to get somewhere, it is disgusting what they are putting you through. Someone suggested to me today that if you don't get any joy tomorrow then go to your local mp and ask why. There is obviously a gap in the services that needs sorting.

Love and hugs to everyone.
Caz xx

Hi all had a miserable weekend really but hey thats how it goes eh? One day up one day down although it is great to come on here and get support and love from people in a similar position
((((hugs to Puss))))

hello everyone

I am suffering a severe backache today - it came on during church service and had a job walking home (fortunately I live near the church). It has started to make me feel a bit sick so I am spending a lot of time sitting on my bed with several pillows behind me.

anyway ((((((((((((((((big hugs to all))))))))))))))))

I know a lot of peeps on this thread are facing some major challenges and I am sending positive thoughts to all of you.

Take care
Gill

Hi

I am not feeling too bad lately with the rituals. I am fighting them off.

How are you lately Purple? Did you enjoy that meet the other day in Norwich?

Ben

Lorraine, please hang on to those thoughts, don't allow the so-called help organisations fob you off anymore.
I feel for you, wish there was something I-WE could do to help you.You hit the nail on the head when you say you would literally die for you child(ren),.Having to watch them falling apart, for whatever the reason,is the worst thing that a mother can go through.
If positive thoughts and well-wishing could help, then you would be home and dry by now, because everyone on this board is rooting for you.
