How is your day going?

Jenson just had a treat because it’s warm … someone finished off a tub of ice cream so he got to lick the tub out

It has been very toasty today @Sandy_123 it's turning into the kind of weather that baldies like me need to be very careful of. Lots of sunscreen!   

Sandy_123

Yes albus or a sunhat 
Looks like he's enjoying his treat @66Mustang

@Beaver79 hope your doggy picks up soon.

@Sandy_123 that sounds like a lovely afternoon 

@Lou67 you are doing so well walking and looking after your grandkids 

@Ada that is a huge rent increase! Especially when you so good doggy sitting so much even if you enjoy it. Take it easy the rest of today 

Hi everyone else and admins.

We got phoned this afternoon by neurology nurse to say they are admitting my partner this Tuesday (14th) and operating on 15th May if there is a bed available. I'm glad and hope there is a bed. I'm nervous too truth be told.

Jimm_Scope

Fingers crossed @Marydoll5, hope it all goes okay!

I'm feeling low again today  

I keep getting negative reactions or outcomes and stuff and it feels like I'm just failing at everything or the world is against me if anyone can relate???

A good example is I made a forum thread asking for help and it has like 50 views and 1 person replied, so in my mind 2% of the population think I'm worthy of sparing 5 mins to make feel better (the fact I'm only worth 1/50th is probably about accurate ) ... I know that's a stupid conclusion but my mind seems to be working in a twisted way at the moment

I think I'm really delicate since I stopped drinking. I think I maybe always used to be delicate but I didn't care before because the alcohol made me feel better if that makes sense???

I hope someone can maybe relate  

66Mustang

No don't be sorry at all @Ada it's totally a problem in my mind and not something others have done

Besides, what I meant was like 50 people had read my post but 49 of them decided it wasn't worth trying to help, if you didn't get a chance to read it you are not one of those 49

I just think I'm failing at everything and when you just need a few words it seems hard to find support

I know there are lovely people here including you and I'm truly in a better place for being on Scope and your support and friendship means so much to me  

I'm going off for a bit though as not feeling too good and going to try and do something to relax like play a computer game or go for a walk

I will come back in a bit or maybe tomorrow but I hope you have a great evening @ada and all others

66Mustang

Ha ha @ada  

Sandy_123

@Marydoll5 that was quick since last time I spoke to you, good news that the op is going ahead. Good luck to your husband and you have us all here to lean on while your both going through it. 

@Beaver79 glad your dog has biotics and not have his tooth out 

@66Mustang I havnt had chance to read the threads either today. But we are all here for you 

Sandy_123

Using my inhaler more today the pollen is high 
Might pop a fan on to make some air 

Marydoll5

@Beaver79 he will be in high dependency ward for a few days and then ward for a day then home if all goes well.
They said recovery at home is best and it will be a rough 6 weeks minimum.
I think I feel upset snd crying as it reminds me when he was discharged last year and I was scared I couldn't cope as I was so depressed and feel like that now...even though he needs this op and it's been so long.

@66Mustang I understand how you are feeling.  I don't go on other threads. I tried the games but was no good at them. I'll have a look and please know I get so much support from you all here and want to give it back too. You are a great person who gives great advice and conversations which help me a lot.

Hey everyone I hope yous are all doing well and hope yous enjoy your night.
I had a lovely day up at my mums but my legs and feet are sore now and I feel drained. I think I’ve overdone things and not sleeping hasn’t helped. So time to relax now. Sorry for moaning 🤦‍♀️

@Marydoll5
Aww I’m so pleased your partner is going to get his op and it’s totally understandable that you are feeling anxious about his recovery at home. Could you not trying see if you could get carers in a couple off times through the day to help. We are all here for you.

@66Mustang
Im so sorry you aren’t feeling good today. And I’m sorry I don’t think I’ve saw your post as I usually always trying give you support when I can as I think a lot off you. I’m always here if you need to talk in a PM. 

I hope you find something to occupy you tonight.

@Sandy_123
Oh sounds like you had a lovely day but hope your taking it easy now.

❤️

66Mustang

Sorry everyone I’m not trying to accuse any of you of anything if it sounded like that, it was more an example of how my mind comes to stupid negative conclusions that I know are wrong

I was kind of triggered by asking an admin for a little of their time not as an admin but just asking to share their experience of something that might have been good for me. I got rebuffed which upset me but again it’s my issue to deal with this stuff, not theirs, and I hope they don’t get upset by me being honest and saying this

I know you all care as much as I care about you all and am really grateful for being lucky to know you all

I went for a walk with the dog and feel a bit better now but I need a break from communicating too much I think so I hope you all have a lovely evening and see you tomorrow 

Lou67

@66Mustang
I really wish you saw yourself as we all see you an amazing smart friendly compassionate person who gives a lot of your time on here to everyone.
I hope you can relax tonight and be kind to yourself. ❤️

Marydoll5

@Sandy_123 @Beaver79 and @Lou67 thank you for support and I will keep in touch next week as its vital I don't burrow myself away.

The issue from his discharge from hospital last August is that despite numerous offers of help noone came through except one friend who offered help with getting to hospital for appointments given the dire parking situation which was brilliant. 

I will try and rest while he is in hospital to strengthen up. I'm afraid that I'm not strong mentally right now and that I haven't any support, no cpn and I have to be strong. I'm tired but thanks to you all I no longer feel alone and I can talk you 

Lou67

@Marydoll5
Im not sure who you get in touch with to trying get carers coming to give you a bit off help but your doctor should know or Social Work, or someone else on here will hopefully be able to advise you as I think it’s a lot for you to cope with on your own. 

I really hope you can get something sorted,  I will be thinking of you and I’m always here for you. Take it easy tonight and relax.  ❤️

Sandy_123

Definitely rest whilst he is in hospital and take time to reflect on your self @Marydoll5 speak to the Hospital about care at home. 
@Lou67 rest this evening too. Its easy to over do things. 

I've just put the bins out ready for tomorrow and having a cuppa managed to plant a couple of plants only got two left to do now.

Sorry @66Mustang, as I've not been around much with looking after my friend's dog, then housework & doing a bit in the garden, which never ends as you know; might have been guilty of some plants following me home at the weekend too!

I did see one of your comments to an Admin, & whilst I thought it totally harmless, I 'think' they'd rather prefer to have comments & replies out in the open to help others instead, which makes good sense. I do think their wording could have been better, but honestly believe we have a really good set of Admins trying to help us all, so please don't take this wrongly. It's rotten when something like this makes you feel upset, but I'm absolutely sure this wasn't intended. I hope this Admin sees this & reconsiders. Thinking about you 66Mustang.

Hoping everyone else is keeping well, & doing as well as they can

I woke up feeling absolutely exhausted, I had someone from the council coming to do a damp survey and he managed to open my bedroom window which had been painted shut. Dragged my son round to the shop with me as I really didn't feel right. After I got in I had a seizure and slept for two hours after. Managed to cook some dinner and relaxed with a jigsaw.

Hey everyone, up at silly oclock again, just couldn't settle, never mind, i'll take it easy today, do my chores later, i hope you all have a good sleep and a decent day
