If it's the same as I had, I was pretty @#$&Ed for about 6 weeks.
If it's the same as I had, I was pretty @#$&Ed for about 6 weeks.Unfortunately, the merry-go-round of medical appointments will continue tomorrow. X-ray of the lungs again and an Echo scan of the heart has to be organised.
Today, wasn't the best of days with a prolonged effort on the bed, and the weather wasn't that favourable as well.
Hit 41c this afternoon.
Looking positively forward, thinking it can't get any worse than the past 3 weeks.
Crippling to say the least. Feel OK one day then shyte the next.If it's the same as I had, I was pretty @#$&Ed for about 6 weeks.
Do you feel you are recovering well?And the health issues continue.
Had an eckocadiogram yesterday and there been any urgent phone calls to say hospital for you. Though a specialist appointment is booked for early February.
Blood tests again on Monday and then visit the GP for the review of what's what from the past week.
Feeling somewhat happier now and am hoping that with a short lay-off things will return to normal soon.
Certainly feeling a lot better now the prolonged coughing has ceased.Do you feel you are recovering well?
Well, I feel up to it, might just wander outside and tackle a couple of light weight jobs.
Got a bit of tagastaste growing in the driveway and the couple of steers that are in that paddock have been looking at it for a few days now. A New Year's Present for them!!!
Did about 1.5 hours of a couple of little jobs that would normally take about half an hour, but it's a start.Just remember to take it slow and easy.
That was true. In the weekly newsletter I send out (reflections about this and that, links to cool and interesting stuff I’ve read) I’d asked readers if they could suggest a budget-friendly, dog-friendly place near the ocean where I might take my burnout and my dog and, literally, crash.This would be the first time I have ever written to a person in a personal context, without knowing that person. In your newsletter this week you said you were looking for a place to crash on the coast.
I sat on the email for a few days. I thought about the reason Alex had given for wanting to share her fibro cottage with me. I thought about personal wounds and how, when they heal, the scar tissue can be beautiful.I’m about to get the keys for a shack I’ve bought on the South Coast. It is extremely basic, just a one-bedroom 55sqm Fibro Majestic, about 150 metres from the beach. I’m having it cleaned and painted but after that you would be welcome to stay there for a few days/week for a headspace break, gratis. I live elsewhere so you’d have the place to yourself.
She was referring to Fake, the book I wrote to help me understand a traumatic relationship I had with a narcissistic fantasist who lied about everything.Your book helped me through a traumatic marriage separation from my husband who had a personality similar to your ex’s, so I would be very happy to help you in return.
Alex and I met for coffee. Then, a couple of months later, for dinner. We couldn’t stop talking. We discovered common interests and oddly parallel lives; our paths over the years had almost crossed, then not, then nearly again.My intention is just for my children and I to use the house and I want to let people who have helped me through the last few years have a nice time away too. There are a few special peeps I know who don’t have a lot spare in their budgets that I think deserve a bit of TLC/random acts of kindness. My personal sociopath-next-door was clever and successful, so a silver lining to the trauma is to be now financially comfortable. I have decided I would like to share some of that in a way that He Would Never – ie, for no ulterior motive or personal gain.
Thursday will be the day of reckoning. Appointment with the most caring of GP's in the afternoon. He will have all the relevant information and hopefully what's inside the body will have returned to normal.Hope your recovering well farmmerge. I didn't realise this was the thread you set up covering your illness/infection.
I have a friend in hospital (ICU) at the moment trying to recover from a serious infection. He had serious joint aches which he first thought were the result of a change in medication. After a couple of deteriorating days we decided he had to go to hospital. Not sure how this will turn out. Sounds as if you are on the right road. Good luck.
Thanks heavens for a pubic health system that is working and a pharmaceutical industry that can identify and treat many infections and illnesses.
So sorry to see this post. Condolences to you.I just had a good friend die of MND. Told last night.
He told me he had it just before Christmas the previous year. Absolutely horrible, you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy.
@wayneL On the up and up but under the GP's starting orders which in our lingo means take it slow and easy for the time being.Glad to hear your on the up and up @farmerge
I'm going to have a health whinge here because my wife is sick of me bitching about it.
*Rotator cuff tears.... I've got two in the same shoulder.... @#$&ing agony especially considering my job. Not just having to wrangle @sshole nags, but having to lift in and out 100kg of gear several times a day.
Night time is the worst as I don't reckon I've had more than an hours sleep continuously for months now.
Otherwise, fit as a mallee bull
