View Full Version : I am Groot
No, we were 6 out of 20 lol
Top 10? That's awesome ;)
Afternoon! Ive been awol as I was working this morning then a friend turned up who I completely forgot I was seeing ;)
Jess is still off college, poorly. She is getting better but I’m not taking any chances. The hospital called this morning as they want to have a look at her ear again, so she’s up there Thursday.
Poor Jess! Is she OK in herself or poorly and in bed?
So glad you had a friend pop round. Hope it was a good chat?
She’s poorly in bed. It has been a nasty bug but I do think she’s getting there.
So glad she's getting better!
I am so irritable tonight - everything Si says is making my teeth hurt
Do you know why? How are you feeling today?
No idea why. I am feeling better today, helped by seeing a friend this morning and have got someone coming over this afternoon. It was just one of those things last night but I actually yelled at him at one point!
Jess is back at college today - yay!
Glad that your feeling better today hunni x And that Jess is feeling well enough for college
Hoorah for the getting better vibes in your house! Hope you've had a great day lovely.
Nope I was wrong, teeth gritting again!
Are you overdoing it?
Maybe. Having a quiet day today.
In more positive news, Jess saw ENT today and it’s all looking healthy and ...... her hearings dramatically improved! It worked!!!

That’s fab news.
OMG That's awesome news! Well done Jess!
How's your mood doing today gorgeous?
I’m ok, less tense. Tomorrow’s a board meeting so it’s going to be tiring - but I do have a frozen vodka cocktail in my freezer so that’ll ease the tired bones lol
Woohoo - that's great planning lol
Hope it's a good one lovely...
Wooohooo for Jess and yay for the coctail aswell x
Hope the meeting goes well lovely x
*waves hello*. It was a verrrrrry long meeting (4 hours) so I came home and collapsed in front of the tv for a bit. I’ve got to rouse myself to go and pick Si up in half an hour but I really don’t want to move .......

Collect your beloved and then rest? Rest hard??? As in most of the weekend?
Absolutely rest now lovely lady x
Bum. Just realised I didn’t pick up my repeat tapentadol - so have to try to get an urgent prescription from the pharmacy
Opps hope they sort it for you hunni x
Oh no! Have you sorted it?
Jaquaia
10-02-18, 11:46 AM
Hope you get it sorted (bear)
Still trying to get it sorted and starting to feel crap now
Oh hunni can you ring your doctors out of hours ?
I’ve been trying to all day - only just spoke to them and they won’t prescribe it because it’s a specialist drug. It’s going to be a tough weekend ....

Oh hunni (bear) wish there was something I could do

Can you not call out of hours and get emergency prescription for over the weekend?
Can you not call out of hours and get emergency prescription for over the weekend?
I did, when 111 eventually allowed me to speak to them, but because it’s a ‘specialist’ drug they aren’t qualified to prescribe it. They offered me tramadol which they said might have made it a little easier but I can’t take it as it’s contraindicated with lithium (and I had to tell them that 3 Times) but they couldn’t prescribe me anything else. I’ve been wrapped up in a knitted shawl, with a heat pad on my back, but I can barely move I’m in so much pain. I’ve had to resort to diazepam to help. Jess said I sounded ‘dead’
The pharmacy cocked up, I’ve found out, as the prescription was issued on the 6th but they didn’t tell me it was in.
Jaquaia
10-02-18, 11:29 PM
Gentle hugs lovely. I wish I could help (panda)
So, apparently I was tossing and turning and groaning all night. Si had to sleep on the sofa in the end cos he was worried about touching me and hurting me. I’m tired and sore and very grumpy
Then I hope today you can at least do something kind for yourself. does not matter if its big or small. And I hope you will feel better.
Oh sweetheart (bear)(bear)(bear) I wish I could help...
Not a lot anyone can do about opiate withdrawal. Only 24 hours to go
S deleted
11-02-18, 11:16 AM
Why do these things only happen on a weekend? Had you realised any other day of the week it would’ve been sorted same day. It sucks massively.
That's not on though. I hope you/Si will be putting in a complaint... Opiate withdrawal sucks.. You have my every sympathy...
Just updating. I’m in a world of pain, can’t stand up and camped a metres away from the bathroom. Had a complete meltdown earlier - sobs, snot, the works. Really can’t wait to get to the morning. So tired of fighting everything
S deleted
11-02-18, 10:29 PM
I hate that you’re going through this and wish I could make it better for you. Not long to go now til it’s sorted but I get the feeling those few hours are gonna feel like a lifetime.
That was a rough night. Just taken them, should start feeling better in half hour.
(bear) Hope you're putting in a complaint about how you were left over the weekend...
S deleted
12-02-18, 10:27 AM
I’m glad it’s sorted now
Weak but better - stomach’s settled, CRPS Pain is back to manageable levels and my head is clearer. I’m still generally aching but I’m taking it easy today and I’m sure I’ll be fine soon.

Just catching up Paula. looks like you've been really going through it. Hopefully you're on the better side now (bear) (panda)
Are you complaining? Can a plan be put in place to stop this happening again?
No, I’m not. My usual pharmacist is on maternity leave and the locum is about 12 yo. Coupled with the issues with being taken off then put back on tapentadol, it’s a blip - they’re normally really good.ill just have to be a bit more proactive next time
Am glad that you got it sorted but I do think something more could of been done to help you considering the affects that you went through
I'm glad you've got the right meds now lovely.

13-02-18, 09:17 AM

Feeling back to normal, thankfully. Which is a relief as I’ve got a meeting this afternoon with someone who’s preparing a report on the charity and making suggestions for the way forward

I had my nails done, does that count? ;)
If it made gave you a smile then it sure does count :)
Hope you're resting now lovely xx
Sort of. I’ve got my neurology appt tomorrow so I’m a bit on edge
(bear) What time? Will you let us know how you get on?

How’d it go?
Just got home. I’m having a lumbar puncture done to find how high the pressure is before they put me on medication. He was surprised I wasn’t struggling with severe headaches until I pointed out the meds I’m on and that nothing hurts like CRPS pain lol. He also said they rarely diagnose from an mri but the radiographer had been adamant about what the ‘changes’ were. The appt will be fast tracked so weeks rather than months.
Jaquaia
14-02-18, 03:46 PM
Are you ok?
What does that mean about the "changes"? Are you OK? Are you resting?
I’m not exactly sure what changes he meant but he said they are indicators of IIH which the radiographer (who he rates) insisted pointed to a diagnosis. He said they normally diagnose from symptoms but, given the CRPS and pain meds, the symptoms are being masked. He’s expecting the pressure results from the lumbar puncture to be pretty high. The only thing that worries me about the lumbar puncture is i have to lay on my side - which I haven’t done in 5 years! But I’ll manage
At one point, he turned to Si and said ‘your wife’s determined, isn’t she’ ;)
I’m ok, have been working but chilling now. Think I might grab a sneaky drink
S deleted
14-02-18, 08:05 PM
And why not indeed. I’d say you’ve earned it.
Definately earned a drink and hope your now chilling out and snuggled up resting
"Determined?" (rofl)(rofl)(rofl)
Maybe stubborn about keeping things as for want of a better word "normal as possible" and not giving in etc
How are you today lovely?
I’m ok, have been doing some charity stuff this morning, prepping for a meeting tomorrow (it’s with my friend who’s promised to make lunch, so nothing too arduous ;)).

15-02-18, 10:53 AM
Ok no worries. I’ll back off.
I thought you'd enjoy it!
Off to another meeting in a bit but it’s with my friend so it’ll be nice and relaxed - and she’s making lunch ;)
Now I’ve had time to process, I’m much more relaxed about the neurology stuff - the doctor was pragmatic and straightforward and I trust him. Yes, it’s one more thing to deal with but it can be managed and it’ll be ok. Also, they took my bp and it was, finally, normal at 137/85 so I can relax a bit about that too - the meds are working :). Yes, these are yet more chronic conditions I have to manage but I’m lucky in that I live in a time and place where I can get the treatment that will help my body deal with this and, unlike many places around the world, I have access to free healthcare without restriction.
We had that conversation yesterday - that actually although the chronic conditions can be horrible, but we have access to free healthcare which is amazing.
I@m so proud of you! Have fun today gorgeous!
Good for you Paula! I agree...I moan at times about GB and the health system but like you say, we're so very lucky to have it. Well done on your BP...wanna swap??...only kidding. Mine will sort itself out in the end. I'm not so stressed about it now. All I wanted was reassurance. If I don't understand something I panic! Anyway, have a good day love.xxx
I was there for 5 hours! It didn’t feel like it at the time but I don’t want to move now I’ve got home lol. It was very productive so well worth it. I’m the trustee responsible for volunteer engagement and, at the moment, it’s not very organised. My plan is that it will run so efficiently I won’t have to spend much time on it and can work on other areas, like social media and a community chat online forum
Sounds brilliant! Hope you're resting now though lovely...
I’ve been a good girl this weekend and rested. My brain doesn’t hurt quite as much now ;). This week is quieter and I’m away next weekend for the church’s women’s weekend.

Aww I’m so chuffed. Just before Christmas I saw my ex husband’s sister. We got chatting and said we should go out for coffee. I gave her my mobile no over messenger but heard nothing. She’s texted me this evening wanting to catch up (and explained she’s been ill hence no contact). Given I divorced her brother in 1999, it’s going to be so lovely to see her for more than 2 minutes in passing :)

Well done lovely! So proud of you!
So, when does the resting take place?
You should feel proud hunni am glad you had a good weekend and am another that is proud of you getting through
So, off to jess’s College tonight. It’s parents even8ng and we’ve been called in - which they only do if there’s an issue ....
Good luck. I'm sure it'll only be for good reasons....
Unfortunately, no it won’t. She’s lost her way with her studies since her op and I wouldn’t be surprised if she ends up redoing the year
OldMike
27-02-18, 05:58 PM
Jess' op would've messed up her studies, I'm sure things will turn out okay, even if she has to redo the year it's not the end of the world, best not second guess what'll happen just take things as they come, just support her the best you can, as I know you will as you're such a good mother.
I think that's enough of my ramblings, I'll leave you with a joke.
Aren't venetian blinds wonderful.
Without them it'd be curtains for everyone.
Hope that it has gone ok hun
Well, first Si refused to let me go with them so I was cross. Anyway, she’s behind and now has 4 essays to do by the end of next week. She has apparently caught up a bit but still much to do. Though her lecturers are impressed with her knowledge, which helps. She’s just got to get her arse in gear
Why didn't Si let you go?
It could have been so much worse! 4 essays? Well she can get those done I'm sure. She's bright and capable.
Because it was icy and cold and he didn’t want me falling over. I pointed out I’d be in the wheelchair but ....
It was so much worse but she seems to have got a bit more done when she realised we were going to find out ;)
OOps..
You can't be cross at him for wanting to protect you from the ice and snow, but I'd be just as (swear)(swear)(swear)(swear)ed at Marc ;)
I haven’t left the house in over a week and am going stir crazy - I’m so on edge :/
Oh hunni but it's seriously slippery out at the moment but can understand you feeling that way, can you find something to keep you occupied
I’ve been working on the hardest cross stitch I’ve ever done, it’s not really working tbh.
(bear) Can you find something to alternate with, so some time on the cross stitch then on something else then back again to the cross stitch again etc
Can you get out at all? Into the garden? Are you able to lose yourself in a book? Movie? Boxset?
I can’t get out, it’s not just physical but also that I had my fall in the snow and I can’t get over that. I’ve been watching Bones but it’s not stopping me gritting my teeth
Can you stand or sit in an open door and throw a ball for one of the dogs I remember you said one of them likes the snow so at least you are getting some fresh air?
I was wondering if it was at least partly that which was stopping you. Can Si try to help you so you can just get out of the house even for an hour?

I’ll see how tomorrow is, atm our roads and pavements are so icy.
What about the garden? Maybe you could get some sand (rather than salt as you have dogs) and put that down to help? I know how bad it is outside both my doors, so just be careful love.
Ok, a thought for you not sure if its do-able but have you got trainers? as you can get spiked soles you can attach to the soles of your shoes and they are easy to take off and put on again so may make it easier for you on the icey parts and give you some grip
I think if I told Si I wanted to sit in the garden in the snow he’d be calling CMHT (rofl). I’ll be ok
(rofl)(rofl) I went to sit out in it today lol

Enough of my ramblings, hope you're staying warm and cosy inside today Paula (bear)
No, Mike, I really am that bad. So much so that about 6 weeks ago I got fed up with the constant complaints and stated im not cooking anymore. In that whole time, I havent cooked once and not had a single complaint from them about having to cook ......
(rofl) I used to be a really terrible cook. Seriously my kids were horrified when Marc made them fishfingers and chips as they were convinced finshfingers should be black.........
But then I had to learn so I got Marc to teach me a few things and now I don't get too many complaints ;) I've always loved baking, but now I love cooking ;)
Tomorrow’s going to be long, great but long, as the charity has a disability awareness day and I’m helping out. I’m looking forward to it but it’ll be the first time I’ve been in town for over a year. Big girl panties will be on ;)
Try and get plenty of rest tonight hunni and tomorrow afterwards and try and pace, but hope that you have a good time
Take as many rest breaks as you need to love. Rest tonight and rest tomorrow and please mark Wednesday as a rest day too.
I did it! I got sent home an hour early because apparently I turned white as a sheet but I was there for 3 1/2 hours and it’s was really busy so I’m proud of myself. I am officially knackered!
I just had to smile. Am watching 24 hours in a&e and this lovely old lady was in with a suspected heart attack. They asked her if she had any other health problems. “Not really, I’m quite healthy actually” she says, “apart from a cyst in my stomach, two hip replacements, one knee replacement, shoulder and I should have the other shoulder and knee done but I don’t like the anaesthetic” (rofl)
(rofl) bless her
Glad you had a good time and that they sent you home when they saw they needed to. Please rest now sweetie xx
So proud of you! But rest now please!
Ok, I may officially have overdone it. I’ve been working up to about half hour ago when I should have been resting and am now feeling sick and dizzy and am going to sleep ....

My mood has plummeted this afternoon, I’ve had tears
Oh what a shame! I do sympathise....lots of love coming your way from Churchinford! I agree, I think maybe it's from you being so busy love.xx PS....Jeremy has got hand, foot and mouth virus (have i said this before, if so, sorry). We think it's because of the mental and physical stress he was going through when training for those months. When the pressure is off, things nab you!...(panda)
It doesn’t help that I’ve started getting what I think are IIH headaches. The doctor said I should have already been having them (and my neck pain I’ve had for a while is probably related) but my meds have been disguising them. Obviously the meds aren’t doing that as much anymore. I’ve been getting dizzy too.
Jaquaia
09-03-18, 02:08 PM
Can you rest? Will that help or will it need more?
The worst is changing positions, standing from sitting etc so there’s not a lot I can do about that. I’m just going to have to ride it out til I get the lumbar puncture and meds
I am sending lots of good thoughts and wishes over (bear)
Massive hugs gorgeous. I hope you're resting.
Sweetheart please at least try and pace xxx
I’ve been watching murder on the orient express. It’s good but my head hurts and I feel like I’m on a boat. Will definitely be going to bed soon
Si tells me I was very restless last night. I normally don’t have a problem sleeping but this is the third morning in a row I’ve been up at 6am. Mind you, Si went out for a curry last night so that may have more to do with his digestion than anything else ;)

So glad you had a lovely day!
PS. Angie has stocked up on kippers ;)
Lol, I don’t think I’ve ever had the kipper threat waved at me ;) but, you may notice, it’s 12pm and im only just catching up here. I’ve taken it easy this morning, apart from a couple of trustee emails, and only plan to do my meds, watch tv and read a book for the rest of the day. We left at 7.30 yesterday morning and got home at 6.30 last night
So glad you had a good time - what's the new house like?
The house is lovely, bigger than it looked on FaceTime, a few minutes from the beach. It’s ‘them’ itms and they’re very settled already. The door to door journey is 3 hours but that includes the 30min time we have to book in for the ferry. Because I wasn’t in the car the whole time it was a lot easier on me than it could have been. It’s doable there and back in a day :)
3 hours? That's awesome especially with the ferry break - I love that ferry journey! It always felt so exciting when we were little - and still does now!
Glad that you have had a day resting hunni x Am also glad its much easier now to visit your parents
I spent all afternoon writing my first report as trustee, which meant pouring over multiple government documents and guidelines. Brain is definitely kaput lol
Lol.. Is tomorrow a rest day? Was the report interesting?
I’m meeting my bf, not resting but definitely needed :). The report could never be interesting but necessary. And they’re not going to like my recommendations, which is always fun lol
Oh... Nothing like making yourself popular at the beginning huh?

Morning. Am just watching Bake off Stand up 2 Cancer and weeping buckets at a little girl’s story. Kinda puts things into perspective
Morning Paula! I've recorded the celeb Bake Off. I watched Call the Midwife yesterday. I was in tears over that. Don't know why I bother watching things like that...I'm too flipping sensitive. But you're right it puts things into perspective and makes us go back to basics and makes us think about how lucky we are. Have a good day O Queen of sparkly stuff!(bear)
I sobbed over CTM too! Haven't watched bake off because I want to do horrible things to Harry Hill mostly involving smashing him in the face with heavy saucepans....
Have fun with your friend today lovely! X
Ok, so I’ve had a meltdown - tears and shaking. I didn’t say anything but Jess didn’t get me a mother’s day card. Katie bought presents from both of them and got a card, apparently she did ask Jess if she wanted to write in it but Jess said no. Then didn’t get a card. I was too tired to say much on Sunday and just let it go but she’s been horrible all week and hasn’t said one nice thing. Tonight, an hour before the shopping was due, she yelled at me that there wasn’t any food in the house and I never get anything nice ....... etc etc. I lost my plot with her and was shaking by the time Si got in
I was talking to my friend this afternoon. Jess seems convinced we can’t ever get on and just won’t say anything nice to me. I’m tired of doing all I can to keep the peace
Oh hunni, that really sucks. Do you know what the issue with her is? Is it that you are too similar?
I wish I could give you a huge hug!
We are actually very different. She thinks I don’t understand her and we’ve got nothing in common. But mainly it’s just she’s 16 and being a b*tch
16 was the worst for me and my Mum..... then 17 and I moved out at 18....
I'm sorry love. Does Katie know what her problem is?
Katie’s not Home much these days. Maybe that’s the problem
Maybe it is... maybe it's hormonal? She's dealing with a lot with her hearing and op etc and starting college? Maybe she thinks she's more grown up than she really is?
Well mine are!
How are you feeling today?
Ok, tired. Jess is still being horrible this morning but I’ve tried to ignore her. Still, quiet day today (ish)
Sorry she's being out of line love, you don't deserve it. Are you resting?
I’ve just sent off my report. I have other charity work I need to do but that can wait - I’m too tired.
Si had a word with jess on the way back from hospital (she had her hearing test - perfect hearing yay!). He talked about respect and kindness, she said that ‘mum should respect me too’. He told her he was talking about her lack of respect to others, not just mum. Apparently she went quiet, which is what she does when she’s realised she’s in the wrong. We’ll see if anything changes.
Hoorah for perfect hearing! That must be a huge relief to you all!
Hope Si's chat has helped.
