View Full Version : It’s the little things.....
I hope your studying continues to go well Paula.
Society has certainly come on since the 70s in helping left handed people.
Out of curiosity are there are things you do right handed? A friend of mine is a leftie but plays darts right handed and my ex could only play golf with right handed clubs.
There are things I do/have done right handed because I had no choice growing up and my brain can’t cope with the swap eg, I learnt to play guitar right handed, and using scissors, but I am naturally extremely left handed if left to my own devices. I can’t even file things right handed ;)

I'm right-handed but eat and knit left-handed!
I'd never even thought about left-handed eating, you live and learn.
I can only pick up mugs and glasses with my left hand, too
Ok, I was a little low last night but I’ll live
Because it's Katie's birthday today?
Yeah, stupid I know and minor compared to what so many are going througn

Um I thought this was a place of no comparison. (panda)
Pfft..
I'm in complete agreeance with the others. Stop comparing because what you are going through right now is horrific FOR YOU. You know that, stop trying to gloss over things. It's totally OK to not be OK about things as they are for you right now.
Erm, so I’ve ended the year on a high note...... Katie came over for a walk, so we could spend some time together(I think we both needed it). I had Jax. A mini schnauzer was off his lead and came running up to Jax and really shouting at him- and wouldn’t back off - and his owner couldn’t get control of him. Jax lost his cool (and he’s been so good recently with other dogs) and ended up pulling me over. I went straight down on my bad side, my hip is really sore and everything (knee, back, neck) on that side is now in spasm. The girls were great - Katie managed to get me off the ground, Jess came running from the house with the wheelchair and they got me home. Si was playing golf with Katie’s dad - so,when he didn’t answer his phone, Katie rang her dad and ordered him to put Si on the phone immediately (giggle)

OMG are you OK? Oh crap! Do you need to see someone?
Really sorry to hear that Paula - hope you are okay now.

Oh Paula. I'm glad your girls are so awesome but what a fright for you all. Much love sent your way.
Do you need checked out?
Strugglingmum
01-01-21, 10:16 AM
How are you this morning??
Thanks :). I’m ok, bruised, sore and a bit swollen but I’m standing on it so no harm done (thank god I didn’t chuck my crutches). Katie was furious with the dog’s owner - who was hovering for ages (‘can I help, what can I do, can I get you off the ground’ etc). All I could hear was Katie muttering was ‘should have kept your f*cking dog under control’! I also ended up with an audience of around 10 people. Although one man was sweet enough to offer to push me back home when he realised Jess was going to do it - bless her, she got all feminist though I’m sure the man just saw she’s the size of a 12 year old lol
Good news! Jess is going back to work part time from 18 Jan - she’ll be getting paid 100% on the days she works and 80% the others. I think she’s relieved, that she’s going to get out of the house and be with real people, and that she’s still got a job to get back to.

Glad you're ok and great news about Jess.
Love your girls protective attitude. Xx
Well done Jess and Katie! They really are fabulous!
I'm so glad you're OK - well, as OK as you could be given the circumstances! Are you still being looked after and pampered?
They are fab :)
I’m being looked after (though Si’s making it very clear he’s cross I was walking Jax) and I’m resting
I was wondering whether you were meant to be walking him, but thought you needed love and not questions...
Glad you're resting love.
Si will only let me walk Demi, but I didn’t want Katie walking Jax as she’s so tiny.... and I’ll admit there was a little bit of pride involved.
I’m in quite a bit of pain. I took paracetamol and pregabalin at 5.30 and it wore off about an hour ago
Should you get checked out by a medical professional?
I’ve considered it but I can stand on it and I really don’t want to go to hospital atm
I can understand that. But if it is still bad over the weekend will you at least call your GP?
Paula is there a NHS walk in centre open over the weekend within striking distance that you could visit? That would likely be much safer than a hospital.
So sorry to hear that you are in pain - I hope things improve for you soon. Take care.
I can understand that. But if it is still bad over the weekend will you at least call your GP?
I’m ok this morning, in pain but not crying with it like I was last night. We agreed if I was struggling today I’d contact 111 so I’ll see how it goes
Pleased that the pain has lessened a bit love......it just drains your whole body doesn't it?(bear)
It does, I’ve just been doing some mindfulness to try and help - not succeeded but at least I’m a bit calmer lol
OldMike
02-01-21, 10:54 AM
What a to do falling due to another inconsiderate dog owner's dog, I'm glad the pain's subsided a bit though like what the others say shouldn't you be checked out.
Jess should be okay walking Jax she may be tiny (Jess that is) but she's a feisty little individual ;)
Hunni if the pain is that bad that you've been crying maybe you should get checked over - make sure you're not putting the pain don to CRPS when you could have done damage?
I promise, it is easier than last night, and I really, really do not want to go hospital unnecessarily. Hampshire is currently the worst area for hospital acquired covid.....
I totally understand that... Just don't want you to dismiss pain as CRPS rather than something wrong. But I trust Si to be keeping a close eye on you...
It is easing, so we’ll see. The bruise is huge, and very pretty colours ;)
Awww, maybe you should add some sparkles?
So are you pacing and resting today?
Erm, does taking down the decs count?
Stella180
03-01-21, 01:05 PM
No! Not unless it involves you supervising and instructing Si to do it.
**Girlie moment, look away if you can’t cope** (rofl)
I threw away most of my heels when I hurt my leg but have been looking for these for the last year - I knew I couldn’t have thrown away my designer brand, first and only pair of shoes I’ve spent more than £100 on! After telling me multiple times they were not in the loft, Si just found them in the loft ...... ;)
They’re so pretty (inlove)

Yep, I’d break an ankle in those but then I am the kinda person that trips in flats.
Wow, I took a photo of my hip to see how badly bruised it is as I couldn’t see all of it. It’s massive! Still, at least I don’t feel such a wuss now for being in a state the other night
How are you doing today Paula?
I’m good, thanks, if a little tired
Glad to hear that you are good - I hope the hip is less painful.
Did you manage to get enough sleep last night?
Well you won't have to worry about me thieving them...I'm a size 7! I was a 6 until I got pregnant!! Who was the comedian years ago that used to dress up as a woman in stilettos and hit this guy with her handbag and say " Oh you ARE awful!...but I like you!" well I stagger around like that in heels! But I have loads of trainers of different calibre!! Does that count as chic??(rofl)

What's on your agenda today?
Doing some study this afternoon :)
Not bad, on unit 8 of 10 on Doctrine, and 7 out of 10 on the Minor Prophets :)
Well done! Are you enjoying it?
Loving it, it’s fascinating
I love that you're loving it!
Just popped in here to say those shoes look fiiiinnnneeee!!!!!

The bruising is massive - I’ve got a pic but I’m not sure you’re all ready to see my hip (rofl)
But I’m feeling lots better, in fact I spent most of the day painting a cupboard - when I started it was boring, dark brown,now it’s a lovely mid grey - just got to wax it to seal it and it’s done :)

Should you be doing that at your age :P
I’m glad you’re keeping busy and enjoying the result of your hard work.

I’m going square eyed, 8 episodes of A Discovery of Witches down this evening. But I’ll have to leave the last 2, I need my bed.....
Stella180
09-01-21, 11:54 PM
Not just me who loves that show then.
Hazel started watching that, but as she doesn't like things with 8 legs she was a bit freaked out by ep1. I haven't seen it yet...
I’ve read the books and loved them, so it’s always a relief when the screen version lives up to the novels
Well, I’ve got a blood test tomorrow and I’ve just told Si I’m terrified of leaving the house. He asked if that was why I was refusing to go out with the dogs, so he’s now on the warpath with that (I’ve told him I’m not doing that at least until my bruise goes - he thinks that’s an excuse....)
I have a blood test tomorrow as well. So I will keep you in my thoughts tomorrow. Can I ask why you are terrified to leave the house?
Because I’m clinically extremely vulnerable and need to shield. But that is developing into anxiety about leaving the house for any reason (tho exercise and health appts are allowed)
Have you actually stepped outside your front door since you fell?
(panda) I know you are very vulnerable. And its ok to be scared (panda)(panda) We can get through it together tommorow.
So sorry to hear that Paula - I hope tomorrow goes okay for you.
What time's your appointment tomorrow? Is Si taking you?
Stella180
10-01-21, 10:36 PM
The Paula I know doesn’t give in to fear. My Paula gets up when you falls and she comes back stronger. You know you can do this mate, I know you can do this, and when it’s over your gonna give yourself a pat on the back and a reward for your bravery.
What time's your appointment tomorrow? Is Si taking you?
11am and yes he is. Which is another thing he’s worried about. I haven’t driven since my sight settled, and don’t plan to
OK that's OK... You know he's your knight in shining armour and adores you completely. Allow yourself to trust and be guided by him. Then after your blood test, we can work on getting you out of the house and on driving again. One step at a time, with our positive spirit and Si right next to you! You've got this.
I am on my way now. I will be done with work when you are going so I will have you in my thoughts. As Suzi said you got this (panda)
Thinking of you love. I know you can do this.
Stella180
11-01-21, 10:11 AM
You’ve got this! Deep breath’s.
Got through it, thankfully it was the nurse who is really good at coaxing my veins to behave so I was in and out quickly. Glad to be home, extremely tired. Mind you, I picked up my study books to read this ‘ Metanoeō and pisteuein can be alongside of each other; not so epistrephō and pisteuein”. Think I might need to engage my brain today
Stella180
11-01-21, 12:32 PM

How are you love? Any brighter?
Better, though I’m still not dressed (slept in til 9.30). I was so exhausted last night. Today is going to be a quiet one.
In other news, I had a speeding notification through today - as I haven’t driven for months, it’s obviously Si that’s the culprit. Which means I ‘could’ use it to get something I want today *cackles*
(rofl) So what are you going to have? (rofl)
Well done for sleeping in, you obviously needed the rest...

Dammit, he’s decided to spend the day redecorating, which cancels out the speed ticket :(
Jaquaia
13-01-21, 11:26 AM
Ah but it's your speeding ticket which means paying out or taking a speed awareness course or dropping him in it... I think it's worth a bit more than a day redecorating ;)
Stella180
13-01-21, 11:44 AM
My thoughts exactly lol
Oh I definitely dropped him in it - and made him go for a walk to the postbox to post it ;)
Good for you!
How are you today? Have you got outside at all?
I’ve had a work zoom meeting for over an hour, FaceTimed mum, had lunch and surfed t’internet a bit (may have accidentally bought a Lladro figure of Girl with Fan). Trying to get up rather motivation to study. No, not been out...
So you've been busy.... Are you making excuses for not going out?
No, honestly, not today anyway.
But, crap, having spent all afternoon studying, I’ve just sat down and worked out how much I’ve got to do before I have to complete the exams on 28 February. If I study 3 days every week, and allow myself a week to revise 2 topics, I’ve only just got enough time left to do it. I’m going to be exhausted for the next 6 weeks......
Oh love, can you spread it out a little more? Could you get an extension on the exam date?
Not really and no. That’s 6 mo the from when I received the units.....
I’ve just admitted to Si that I’m struggling
Jaquaia
13-01-21, 09:43 PM
Well done for telling Si (panda)
I'm glad you've told him. Were you totally honest? What did he say? Do you need to see your mental health team and get a review?
I was totally honest. He went into fix it mode and suggested we try to get me out for 10 minutes today. No, I don’t need a review - things aren’t that bad
Si's awesome. Will you think about a review if things don't improve? Have you been out into your garden at all? Could that be the first step as such?
Strugglingmum
14-01-21, 10:46 AM
Glad you're talking to Si. X
Lol my garden is a mud bath from the dogs atm, not conducive to wanting to get me out there ;)
(rofl) ours is similar...
OldMike
17-01-21, 10:52 AM
My garden's the same muddy and smothered in leaves, I do wander down the garden path, make a mental note of what needs doing then scurry back inside in to the warm ;)
How are you today Sparkles?
I’m ok. I’ve got my (new cos my old ones were too big) exercise clothes on with the aim of using my chair gym for the first time later. What’s a chair gym, you say? It’s a chair, with various bits attached to, with the aid of a dvd, allow you to do resistance and core training while sitting safely. Does away with my tendency to fall over lol. My boss (who also has crps in a lower leg) highly recommended it
OO that sounds so cool! Go you! Let me know how it goes?
I’m out of shape ..... I’m going to hurt tomorrow lol. But it’s good - works all the places I need to work on and it’s easy to store out of the way behind the sofa. It’s £130 but considering I was spending £20 pw on yoga before lockdown 1, for me it’s worth it
I had a look at pictures, it looks good. Being someone who can't stand and do exercise it looks like something I might look into...
That was the point I made to Si when I wanted to buy it - it’s a safe way to do what are the most beneficial style of exercises for me
It does look interesting... Definitely something to look into I think... Thank you!
Good for you Paula in doing exercise - it is the best way to boost your mood too.
I went out with Si for a dog walk this evening, too. I really ache.....

Confusing as hell is my understanding...
Lol... Resting tonight and then pacing tomorrow?
Resting tonight. Study tomorrow
Hope study goes well today. What are you studying today?
Doctrine today, not sure of the topic yet as it’s a new unit
I’m so tired..... yesterday I had a work zoom meeting, then hours and hours of study, then a house group zoom meeting which finished at 9.45. Way too many hours looking at the laptop. Today has been slightly easier - hospital video appointment with the Respiratory Nurse then zoom meeting with my curate (where I cried). And it’s not going to get much easier up to my exams
Why did you cry? Wanna talk about it?
No, it was to do with topics I’d asked to talk about. This one was just a tough one

We all know how that can be. I am having a rough time too. But you are around people that love you. And that is just as strong no matter how you feel. (panda)(panda)
Could this partly be due to lockdown/shielding/ your exams coming up? Are you pushing yourself too hard?

It’s definitely doable, just means I’ve got a few more weeks of hard work in front of me. But I do also know that, as far as exams go, I have always been a classic overachiever....
Hey there. Just wanted to say that I think you are freakin’ awesome and remind you just how much I appreciate you as a friend.
Thank you, hunni
OK, then take a break from any admin stuff from here, and the FB page too if you want or need, I'll cover. Work on study and getting to bed earlier and practise some SELF CARE! You're not alone and you don't have to do everything....
You'll do brilliantly in the exams, but only if you don't burn out in the process - is it worth making yourself really ill over?

She's right you know!
Oh, but that’s what I do.... and is the reason I didn’t go to university or looked at OU courses
Thank you xx
Bugger off and do something pacing wise..... Be kind to you. That's an order! Put YOU first for once.
(panda)(panda) sounds like a good thing to do! We all care about you. And self care sounds wonderful atm.

Suzi were you a sergeant major in a previous life (rofl)
(rofl) No love, just a teacher, a stage manager and a bartender - not all at once ;)
Hey, well that’s one exam down. No idea when I’ll get the results.. I’m having tomorrow off, then it’s back to the grindstone ;). Oh, and it’s chip shop chips and a gin tonight :)
And I’m just chilling tonight....

So you had a good evening?
Not seen it!
How are you today?
Yeah, it was a chilled evening
Suzi - you must! It’s brilliant! All episodes are on Scyfy atm
I’m ok, very tired so I’m going with it today....
So day of rest?
Will get Marc to download it for me ;)
No choice, I’ve literally got no energy. But, I have made Si sit down and make some decisions about doing up our living room:)
We’re planning on going navy blue!!!
OOO that sounds classy - you redoing everything?
Yep, flooring, furniture except sofas, curtains etc, curtain poles. Even removing the (awful) fireplace I’ve had to put up with for 17 years! The feature wall will be navy, the others very pale grey, and I’ve got to decide on an accent colour for cushions. The one thing we can’t agree on yet is the furniture. We’ve always had hand me downs and all is dark wood, we want solid oak but don’t know whether to go for painted furniture or just oak.
It sounds really exciting!
You’re all not going to believe this. I’ve fallen over. Again. It was gett8ngdsrk and I tripped on the dogs bowls, which were not where they normally are, and fell straight down. I’ve got a huge bruise on my shin, and my bad knee is quite sore..... anyone got bubble wrap?

What is it about forum members going arse over tit lately? Is it a new trend and I didn’t get the memo? What are you like?
Oh no! Are you OK? Can you rest this evening?
I’m in the tv room cos it’s downstairs and I can’t even face walking to the stair lift yet. At some point I have to go to bed. Two floors up. I’m an idiot

Right, we need to sort this falling over epidemic. From now on members of the forum must only lay on the floor because there is no further for you to fall.
