Hello @Maggie

I have been thinking of you...understanding that you are needing time for you...

choosing to do what helps you the most...

I hope you like this quote

@Former-Member here for you if you would like to talk

@Maggie its lovley to see you

@Sophia1 we finally have some much needed rain so some nice views might be around when the rain starts to clear. hopefully ill be able to go for a drive soon but my current pain meds are making me abit drowsy but they will be around for a while till i see the surgical team and find out when they can fix me in for extractions.
how are you going? how was your rest day?

[Sophia1]

hello @Former-Member

It must be very draining having such hard days....too often...

depression ...anxiety....can be unrelentless...zapping every ounce of our energy...

Trauma leading to anxiety is such a heavy load....at times feeling as though you are being overpowered..overwhelmed...

This probably only touches some of what you are feeling...

I want to let you know that I respect your silences....I understand as much as I am able to.... your grief...

you are still so very worthwhile a person..

at times when life is so overbearing it is so easy to lose sight of our self worth

it is so easy to destroy any self worth left...

I am learning that the only person who is hurting from this way of thinking is myself...

I am still not understanding why....

I am learning to understand that I cannot change what has happened..I can change how I allow which thoughts to keep and which ones to toss away....

I found this quote for you

[Sophia1]

hello @outlander

thank you for your response...

I have missed out much on what is happening for people....as I have been staying close to this thread and another....

You mentioned pain medication...extraction..

ah laugh ...not at you...at my mind...it has suddenly come to me...you mentioned wisdom teeth...

have you a date for this yet?

Having drowsiness is not good when needing to drive...you are being very sensible in recognising this...

Hopefully this will all be sorted for you soon...allowing you to plan your day out...

take care

lol you have an interesting way of writing things sometimes @Sophia1 it makes me smile too.
no i havent a date yet, in early october i have one tooth removal which im worried about one of the complications she said because of location and being so closely linked with the sinus (ive got bad sinus issues already so makes it abit tricky) and just have to wait for the surgical team to give me a yell to find out when they can do an assessment and have a chat.

im not on the pain meds as much as before due to the infection clearing up. ive only a few days left of the stronger pain meds now but thats ok. will jsut be an on and off sort of thing when pain flares up more than otc stuff can relieve.
i actually thought it was my neck injury flaring up to start with but turn out its something else this time. us humans are complicated!

How was your rest day yesterday? did the wind subside abit so you could take a walk out in the garden?
any plans for today?

Hi @Sophia1

I don't venture over this side often but do think of you. Hoping you have not had any major set backs in surgery recovery.

It sounds like you once had a beautiful garden @Sophia1 - mine is small so manageable. My garden is still a work in progress but getting there slowly. Some of the plants I plantd last year are more establsihed now - I want to plant some more this year but it comes down to what I can afford - so it might need to wait a bit longer.

Morrocan lamb with vegetables and rice sounds wonderful - I hope you enjoyed it

hello @Former-Member

Thank you for the hello and for letting me know that you do think of me from time to time.....ditto...

yourself and Mr Darcy...

have not caught up with where you are at now...last I read was his new diagnosis and hopefully new medication is working...

Caring physically and mentally for someone who needs assistance is very exhausting at times...at the same time quite wonderful at moments...

take care
