20000 steps? That’s epic. Well done.
I’m so glad you’re going to talk to your GP. As I recently had to make clear to my mum, if you struggle to do the things you love because of pain, then there’s a problem that needs to be sorted…
I'm relieved you are going to talk to her too. You shouldn't be in pain all the time love.
We have a wildlife park down the south of the country. Ais was saying she'd like to go. Unfortunately it's booked out for July and August, and the weather later this week is crap. So we're off on the road again tomorrow. We're going to spend the night down there because I was very tired after our trip last Thursday. They also have a Titanic experience down there, so we're booked in for that on Tuesday morning. We'll come home sometime on Tuesday.
I really want to see the Titanic exhibition too! How are you feeling about going and spending the night somewhere?
Sounds like fun Magie best stay overnight rather than do it all in one day.
The hotel is lovely. Right on the sea front and we have a wonderful view from our room. Our room has been completely sanitized and cleaned before we checked in. I'm a lot more settled now that we're here.
The wildlife park was wonderful. It was very warm and sunny, and most of the animals were lying down soaking up the sun. I had 10,000 steps done before we were half way around.
We've settled into the room, which is more like a suite and we're going out for a walk along the prom now.
You’re clocking up a few miles lately. Well done.
Wow! That sounds amazing! I'm so proud of you for doing this!
Sounds like you’re having a wonderful time!
We had a great time in Cork. I was very tired after the journey. I think because I'm not used to driving that side of the country and the roads were strange to me. We made it home in one piece and Aisling hasn't decided yet where we go this week. She came to me yesterday and asked if we were going for our spin so we went to Crough Patrick. People have pilgrimed there for hundreds of years. They call it climbing the reek. It is the pointiest mountain in Ireland. A lot of people do it barefoot. Very difficult on the poor feet.
Was anyone here trying to call me this morning? It was an unrecognized number and I didn't reply. I've been having a lot of hoax calls recently and I look up the number if I don't know it.
How are you feeling? Physically and mentally?
Wasn't me calling you I'm afraid...
Sounds like you two are having a great time! It's lovely that Ais wanted you to go out together!
Physically I'm very sore. I have a GP appointment on Thursday and I'm going to ask about x-ray or scan to see if my disks are bulging again.
Mentally Bridget asked me last week if I wanted to be discharged from the services. I explained that while I'm okay ATM, but that my mood can change overnight, and it takes ages to get a new appointment.
So are you staying under the care of the services? Are you being totally honest with them? Can I ask if you've been buying a stash or SHing at all?
I'm glad you're going to get some help with your back love. Being in pain sucks..
No stash and no harming. I think it should be the psychiatrist to discharge me, not Bridget. I have an appointment with a doctor on the 9th of July. I'll see what they say then.
No stash or SH is amazing. I'm so proud of you! I think if you could stay on with them, even if it was once every other month or so, just so you can touch base if you want/need to might be an idea?
We went to Athlone today. We had a lovely day out and it's only an hour away. But I'm very sore.
I had a GP appointment yesterday. I told her how sore I am, and asked for an MRI to see if I have disk trouble.
Did she make any suggestions to help with pain and soreness? I'm really, really glad that you called and were open and honest with her.
I’m assuming the GP said yes, then?
She is arranging the appointment for me.
Good. I'm glad. Did she have any ideas to help your pain levels?
Not really. I'm waiting for a call back from the doctor today. Aisling and I went for our usual spin yesterday. When we got home I discovered that I had lost control over my bowel sometime during our drive. I'm going to see what my GP says.
Chances are it's related to your back (panda)
Oh hunni (panda). Jaq may have a point - perhaps these drives out with Ais need to be put on hold for a bit?
I'm on my way to A & E. My GP wasn't happy with my sensations.
Oh lovely I'm so sorry... I hope you're seen fast and you get some answers....
Waited on chairs for 5 hours. Waited in cubicles until 3 am. Got to sleep around 4.30 - 5 and they came in and woke us at 6.30. I've had an MRI but I've been waiting since 1 to see a doctor. They are keeping me fasting in case they need to operate.
Hopefully you get answers soon (panda)
Hope you are not waiting too much longer
(panda)(panda)
I hope you've heard and all is well....
Hope all goes well magie...thinking of you.
Hope you're OK lovely...
Sending love.x
How are things, love? Do you need surgery?
No surgery thank goodness. They let me home, just said that my MRI was clear. No painkillers or suggestions for how to help my back.
My niece tested positive for covid today. She's okay, had a bit of flu on Monday and Tuesday but is feeling better already. She's 22, so has age on her side.
So they’ve not been able to explain what happened with your bowels? Have you got any follow up appointments? Should you be seeing your consultant?
Where’s your head at? (bear)
I echo everything Paula as said!
