View Full Version : 2022 has sucked as much as 2021 *AB TRIGGERS*
I know, but it's also ok to not be OK if you're in pain... (bear)
Hey you, how are you today? Honestly?
Tired, had bloods early this morning. Back is sore but less sore than it has been
Have you rested during today?
Not as much as I wanted to, I ended up finishing a job for work that ive been trying to do for 10 days. But I did watch a couple of films while doing it :)
What movies did you watch?
Last Holiday and The Lost City - both average so perfect for my addled brain lol
Haven't seen that Last Holiday... We re-watched Heathers the musical and cut people shapes out of carrier bags - the joys of being the parent to an A Level Art Student
So, the b*****d ex husband of my aunt received his sentence yesterday. 19 months less time served on remand. Nowhere near as long as we’d hoped. But, the judge put an indefinite restraining order on him and he can’t contact my aunt except via a solicitor.
What a crap sentence. It's not surprising that so few people who have been abused take things to court... I'm glad there's an indefinite restraining order, but if he breaks it what are the consequences? Is it a direct back to jail or start again? How's she doing? Are you OK?
Direct back to jail. She’s…. Processing. But she’s mentioned Christmas with her kids and her new man (I really hope he’s kind to her) so she’s trying to move on, I think. I’m ok. Angry at the sentence but it’s done now and I just pray it’s the end of this
So glad she's moving on and I agree I hope it's the end. At least there's the back to jail caveat...
How are you doing? Pain levels?
I’m good, pain levels not great but que sera
Sorry about the pain love. How are Si? Jess? Katie?
Si is good but worried about his dad, and completely unwilling/unable to talk about it. The girls are good, Dom’s stressed atm as he’s completely cut ties with his mum. He had to for his own mental health
Oh that's sad re Dom - but good if it does help with his MH.
Men are so unable to talk about how bad things are, I wish that I could get through to them how important it is!
Do you have lovely stuff planned for Christmas?
Full of snot, coughing like a 40 a day, and I’ve got to finish an assignment by 13th. I managed an hour of work I’ll probably have to correct tomorrow :(
Oh love, sorry you're feeling so poorly. Can you get an extension if needed?
I can, I think. I’ll see how I go

Plenty of hot whiskey. It's very good for a cold like that.
How are you feeling today?
Bleurgh. I’ve actually got mouth ulcers!
Oh yuck! Sure it's something that you don't need to speak to a Dr?
Yeah, it’s really just a cold. It’ll pass
Fair enough, just keep an eye on it?
I’VE FINISHED MY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING! Now all I’ve got to do is wrap it……..
(rofl) I haven't started mine yet...
It’s obviously the week for it. My son in law was taken into hospital by ambulance at 6am with a bad asthma attack.

Hope he recovers quickly (panda)
Oh no! Hope he's feeling much better
Diagnosis is bad case of flu causing asthma attack. Katie’s got flu too, they reckon, but doesn’t have asthma. He’s been sent home with different inhalers and orders to rest. Idiot hasn’t had his flu jab….
Oh no! As long as they have been able to fix him!
The inhalers see, to have helped
So glad for him and you all x
So, my mum has done exactly the same as Dom. Rushed to hospital, SATS through the floor. Flu affecting her asthma. She’s home now with steroids and antibiotics
And my chiropractor has worked on my back. He pre warned me I’d be sore for a couple of days, he wasn’t wrong lol

Oh no! Well that's your 3.... Hope your lovely Mum is going to sit and rest (although I doubt it).. Do you need to rest or move? Just be gentle with yourself, please?
Gentle movement, and a heated back pad. It’ll pass
How are you doing today love?
May I refer you to my previous answer? (sweat)

Rest, rest and more rest.
I am. Which I know is surprising so hopefully it eases quicker

How are you today?
Still a little sore. But my last two presents have been delivered (phew) so that’s my work done for the rest of then year!
Lol, I've got fingers crossed for deliveries to arrive or there'll be a lot of "I owe you"s under the tree!
So, resting?
Yeah, with a heat pad glued to my back!

At this stage you shouldn't do any more shopping. Everyone in my circle are getting an iou now.
So, my back’s still bad. Ive had my nails done and my hair cut but I’m going to have to rest up now for the day.

Sending gentle hugs your way. My own back is bad today too.
I’ve rested, not sire its helped but we’ll see tomorrow
How are you doing today love?
Its a bit easier. So I'm going to be good and take it easy for a few days as that does seem to be helping.
Shock! Horror! Pacing helps? Hope the pacing is helping love.
That’s rich lol
I’m off to the midnight communion today + it’ll be the first service I've been to in 6 years. Excited and nervous ;)
Oh that's so wonderful! Enjoy lovely, enjoy. Who's going with you?

Sounds fab! Enjoy it love!

Hope you enjoyed. Really proud of you!!
I loved it! I cried, i beamed, it was emotional
Jaquaia
25-12-22, 09:46 AM
You cried??? Surely not!!!!! (giggle)
Merry Christmas lovely, glad you loved it.
So glad you got there! I know how much it means to you! Back to pacing again please?
Yeah, Si isn't letting me do anything today ;)
Good!
Did you have a lovely day?
I had a moment today, we were playing a game after dinner, and i just looked round the table and felt overwhelmingly grateful to be with those i love most in the world :)
That's perfect.
Are you resting today or off out visiting?
Weve been over to my brothers with my parents. My mum looks so ill…..
Jaquaia
26-12-22, 04:00 PM
Oh dear. Not that nasty virus going round I hope?
Shes got flu (though is prob past infectious stage) but she has been really ill and it overwhelmed her asthma so was in a&e last week. She can barely move and looked grey. Coughing her guts up, strained back and abdomen muscles. She said its worse than when she had covid
Strugglingmum
26-12-22, 06:11 PM
Your poor mum. Xx
Jaquaia
26-12-22, 06:12 PM
I remember reading that now. That sounds exactly like I've been this week, it's absolutely awful! Hope she's over the worst and recovers quickly.
I hope she recovers really, really soon.. Hope you've had a good day despite her being poorly...
Mum’s been to the doctors and is on her second course of antibiotics…. He said that ‘it’s a virus but needs extra help’. I’m no expert but surely antivirals would be better for flu?
Antibiotics don't work on a virus... That doesn't seem right to me, but I'm no doctor
Jaquaia
28-12-22, 09:15 PM
I've been given antibiotics for a chest infection before, no idea why.
Me too, but that's more bacterial, rather than viral...
Hope they help your Mum love, she's not known for resting....

How is your mum today?
She said she had a better night sleep and (and I quote) ‘coughed up some really nasty gunk’ (ewwww) so is hoping she’s over the worst

I think I'm coming down with some sort of bug now. I did a covid test this morning and it was negative. I'll do another on Saturday morning.
At least the gunge is moving..
Hope you get better soon Magie.
Paula - how are you doing love?
Im ok, sore but will take it easy tomorrow
Promise? What do you have on your agenda?
Maybe a bit of study, but only if I’m up to it. What about you?
I need to do some study, but think I might push it back lol
Fern has a check up at the hospital and is meant to be having a blood test to check on thyroid levels as they were a bit odd when they were in hospital, but we've already had tears because of this...
They are also checking on Ferns "Floppy Foot" to check on reflexes and to see if there's more info on if it's going to be more long term or not...
OO and we're meeting up with Charley (Marc's sister), Dan and their little person Lane for dinner in the pub - it's become a bit of a tradition and it's so full of joy that I'm looking forward to spending time with them. Not actually wanting to go, but know it'll be good when I get there itms?
Absolutely makes sense - and I hope Fern agrees to the test (panda)
They weren't able to do it today, but that's ok. The Dr wasn't too worried, more gave them a lecture about not taking their vit D tablets lol
Dinner tonight didn't happen, we're now doing tomorrow lunchtime!
How have I managed to keep a whole year to 60 pages? I know it’s not 100 but as the title says 2022, this thread is gettin’ CLOSED
