Life can be a Pain

[Owlunar]

Hi @Zoe7 and @outlander

Great to see you both here tonight but yes Zoe - it is late and I will be going to bed myself soon

Outlander it's great you read what I write even if you don't know how to respond - I have been through a tough week but that seems to have passed - I hope so - I felt as if I was on a treadmill with my head spinning and hopefully I will be okay now and my daughter will be too

Going soon to girls - catch up tomorrow probably - I do have a new subject to post for Carers - I might leave that until tomorrow

Hi @outlander@Zoe7@Former-Member@Shaz51@utopia

I haven't been in - I guess I find it harder to share than I think

My daughter is still very ill - she might have to have a bigger operation

It does not help me at all that she will usually only communicate by text - I know I have a medical mind and want to know more than she wants to tell me

I know you are there - I thought I was better but I had a reaction to the flu shot and back pain today - and I am really worried - being in ignorance of my daughter's health is a horrible roller-coaster - I don't know how she really feels and that is tough for me - tough for any mother I reckon

Ohhh @Owlunar, I hope your daughter feels better soon xoxo sending you and your daughter loving hugs

[Zoe7]

It must be really hard for you no knowing what is really going on with your daughter @Owlunar 

Some days are ones we just have to get through so we are stronger to tackle the next day to come!

Today seems like one of those days to just get through for you Dec - hoping the reaction to the flu shot and back pain subside for you quickly.

I would find that hard too @Owlunar. Not knowing the full story. Your daughter may not want to worry you unnecessarily. But by not knowing - you will imagine the worst. Can you tell your daughter that?
Sending you a supportive hug. ♥♡

Thanks @utopia@Zoe7@Shaz51

Aw - yes!! - I would worry less if I could see her - at least talk to her - but about worrying

She tends to not worry - she tends not to think about things - at least that what she has always says

So I have an idea this is the way it is for everyone - and because I want to know more - well - this is over-reacting - silly mother

But I feel better when I know all the details - and I ask piercing questions - I have a need to know - you should hear me question the doctors who might operate on me

It's good to know you are all there

I would want to know everything. So would my mum. I think a lot if people would. So you're not alone in thinking like that @Owlunar.
Definitely here for you ♡♡♡

I think that your needing to ask important questions is a very good thing @Owlunar It's not silly at all.

If I had been able to ask the surgeons the critical questions - then perhaps my bowel surgeries would not have gone so disastrously wrong...

Septic infection, a 2nd emergency surgery, then a 3rd (6 months later) - it was supposed to be just one surgery (necessary).

On the other hand, it's almost impossible to ask enough questions whilst in extreme pain.
