Life can be a Pain

[Zoe7]

So glad it gave you a little lift in your day @Owlunar I hope the rest of your day went better and today is good to you ❤️ I am still at home unwell and I am definitely not going to be back at work this week. I am really disappointed because it is our last week before the holidays and I miss the kids ...but can't be helped.

Hi @Oaktree 

It's really tough to get through special weekends like Easter alone  - I know  - it's really hard feeling isolated at festive seasons - I've had to sometimes so I hear you and I feel for you.

I will be having lunch with my daughter and son-in-law at their place which is good  - normally they drop in with Easter Eggs for me and then that's it. Things were pretty rough between my daughter and me for about a year  - both of us were battling with health issues  - things have been better recently  - which is really great.

I'm sorry you will be alone  - the hours can drag  - I hope people will be around here during Easter  - I'm sure lots of people here will be alone 

Sending virtual hugs

Hello my mummabear @Owlunar2 😍

Hi @Zoe7 

I'm sorry you are feeling off colour  - I hope things are improving  - I know how much you love your kids and miss them whenever you can't work.

It was really tough for front line workers like yourself during covid  - I had my support workers who had to keep working regardless  - one of my cousins works in aged care and got covid twice  - so really  I was okay most of the time  - I read a great deal and bought lots of books on-line and thought of it as "My Great Novel Fest". 

You were understanding about my aunt's funeral at the time  - I appreciated that - I was able to go to my uncle's funeral not long after though now all my uncle's have gone  - I was very close to the family in Hobart - I miss them but I am in contact with the youngest one who lives in Canada. Emails are great.

I have a new psychologist  - I am not sure how this will work out - my shoulder was painful for it's own reasons and I felt off colour for a few days until I went to the pain clinic today. They gave me something extra for a few days which will help but I really think it was really friendly and accepting there as always and my heart feels lighter 

I like to keep a friendly attitude  - people love that and it helps 

All my best wishes for Easter

Hey @Shaz51 

How are you  and poor little kidney battling along - none of your choices about your health sound pleasant 

But you are always here and available which is something really special 

I wonder about Mr Shaz and hope he's okay at least some of the time  - it's hard yards for both of you 

Look after yourself  - you are worth it - and keep on keeping on - my dear friend

Feeling a lot better today but very fatigued @Owlunar2 I went outside into the garden for a bit but was too tired to do much. Think I need a few more days of rest before I tackle anything again. On the plus side, I did a little painting as I could do that sitting down - but much the same - a little at a time then back to the couch to rest with the fur babies.

I really wanted to be at work today but I am glad I wasn't because I would not have lasted for long. I do miss the kids but I really have not been well enough (the attept at gardening proved that).

I know how much your uncle and auntie meant to you Mumma Bear and am grateful you are still in contact with your cousin ❤️

I hope the new psychologist works out for you and the pain meds continue to help.

I have been without pain meds for weeks because of my GP leaving but grateful for my pdoc who gave me scripts this week ....the upside of being unwell, I could see her earlier than planned.

Aw @Zoe7 

Being without pain meds  - that is really among worst things when you really need them  - I really know this. Would this have been because you GP pulled up stakes with little warning. Yes  - that's what happened  - I really feel bad - yes - angry about that for your sake  - I've had glitchy patches myself so I get it 🥺. I'm glad your pdoc gave you scripts 👍. I hope the pain is settling now

It can be hard putting our lives back into even keel after a patch of poor health and other issues  - I know how much you love your kids  - I know you are on school holidays now  - I really hope the break helps to build your strength again  - breaking the circuit can help.

I have decided not to continue with the new counsellor  - she had her programme and was not listening to my comments that I didn't want to get into stuff about my family of origin  - I know how dysfunctional it was - 3 generations in a small house  - I am so grateful for my Gran though  - she was the best truly  - more of a mother than my real mother  - I remember how much your Nan meant to you 

I know you will look after yourself and you have your fur babies  - I will be thinking of you over Easter  - and it's a first  - I have been invited to my daughter's home for lunch on Easter Sunday - things seem to have healed between us which is wonderful 

🐇Easter blessings Zoe and hugs🐰
