How is your day going?

@Lou67

I'm seeing my support worker today but then my grumpy relative is coming over

She is actually a bit better these days which is good I think!!! She upped her antidepressants and now she doesn't blame everyone else for her health problems as much, it makes people want to spend time with her, which should hopefully boost her mood because she used to get lonely as she pushed everyone away

I hope you get on well today, are you going with your Mum??

Morning you lovely lot, it's lovely out there today! 

@Lou67 best of luck to your mum, I remember how terrifying those days are. 

@66Mustang hopefully grumpy relative is lots less grumpy today.

66Mustang

Thanks @Albus_Scope

I'm really looking forward to seeing my support worker though, I think I've helped myself so much in the last 6 months and we are working on what I can do next to keep things going. I've done all the easy stuff like sorting my weight and alcohol and stuff out but now it's time to look at stuff that involves other people, like socialising and work

I'm really sorry for going on about myself just I think 6 months ago I would have laughed at anyone who said I'd be in this position today and the fact I'm even considering work and meeting people socially is a big step

@66Mustang
Oh I hope your appointment with your support worker goes well.
Thats great news your relative is a bit more pleasant to be around, that will make a massive difference for everyone, and will no longer feel a chore to be around them. 

No I’m not going to the hospital with my mum my niece is taking her as she drives. 

@Albus_Scope
Good morning thanks, I hope you’re keeping well.

❤️

Morning @Lou67 hope your moms scans go OK and the results are good . I've no plans I do need to pop out for some milk tho.
@Teigr can't beat home bargains hope we get a pic 

Good luck @66Mustang

You're doing so amazingly well @66Mustang socialising is tough work, especially when you're out of practice. Just take things slow and don't jump into anything too huge to start with.  Your support worker sounds ace.

I'm going great thanks @Lou67 working down in the shed today, so I can hear all the birds chattering away.  

Lou67

@Albus_Scope
Oh that’s nice and hopefully if the weathers ok you can eat your lunch in the garden. 

@66Mustang
You have done amazingly over the past 6 months, you’ve been working on yourself a lot and it shows in your posts. 

We are all so pleased for you these changes will be making a big difference in your day to day life, now your willing to work even harder and do more positive things. So proud off you 😊

@Sandy_123
Thanks  enjoy your walk to the shop. I’m just having my breakfast then I’m going to go out a walk I need to start pushing myself again.

@Beaver79
Hi I hope your feeling a bit better today after your appointment yesterday. 

Thank you yes my niece is away with her. 

❤️

66Mustang

Thank you everyone for the kind words of encouragement, I'm glad people think I seem better just from the online posts I make, that's made me feel brighter  

@Albus_Scope do you mean you're working in the shed as in doing your Scope job?? Or you're going to be doing DIY or something later?? My Dad had to work from home a little bit during Covid and he used to work in the garden  

Albus_Scope

Yup, I'm doing my Scope work from the office/shed today as I'm having a new standing desk fitted, so I've had to dismantle my beloved PC for a bit.   

It's lovely out here actually, though a pigeon just tried to come in and say hello. 

And you're definitely an inspiration my friend, you're doing great things.  

66Mustang

Thanks @Albus_Scope that's so kind of you to say!!  

I've seen standing desks before but never have tried one, I don't like to dismiss anything without experiencing it but I don't know about standing for a long period when I'm trying to concentrate on stuff...I guess it's healthier? Have you used a standing desk before?

Albus_Scope

Just saying what I see @66Mustang

I've not used a standing desk before, but I have that fun issue of having lower limb disabilities, but also needing to occasionally pace around (thanks neurodivergence) so an electric desk will allow me to rest my legs when needed, or the desk can go up so I can pace about.

It's meant to be healthier and better for posture too. 

Sandy_123

Enjoy your walk @Lou67 I'm just having a coffee then going to start 

Marydoll5

Hi everyone 
@Lou67 I'll keep your mum in my thoughts today and you too

I really miss @Ada badly. Hope she gets back on soon

@Albus_Scope that sounds like a lovely office 

My partner is in surgery and I have to ring in the afternoon to see how it went. He will be overnight in high dependency then back to the ward. I'm glad it's getting done but naturally worried for him.

@66Mustang your attitude is brilliant striving to hit more goals.

Everyone else have a good day 😊 

Albus_Scope

Best of luck to your partner @Marydoll5 Hopefully they'll let him have some jelly and ice cream tonight if he's a good boy.

66Mustang

Thanks @Marydoll5 very much  

Its good your partner is in now and in hopefully being taken care of well, are you not allowed to be with him at the hospital?

Marydoll5

@66Mustang Not right now. I'm not sure if I can be in the high dependency unit but I'll find out when I ring them.

@Beaver79 hope you are feeling a bit better today 

@Albus_Scope he he

Teigr

I'd imagine the results would be pretty quick @Lou67,Mr Teigr's mum had a check up the week before last(she's had bladder cancer)and she was told within days that everything was fine.

Teigr

I'm still keeping everything crossed for you @Marydoll5,I couldn't see Mr Teigr until the day after his cancer surgery and the waiting around was awful.

Mind, I slept like a baby the night of his operation because I'd been awake worrying for the whole of the night before.

Teigr

I'll post a pic as soon as I finish @Sandy_123,the wallpapering's almost done but the room will need cleaning before I reveal all.

I'll also need a session or two of hypnotherapy to retrieve the long buried memory of what I did with the curtain hooks.

Lou67

Oh I ended up taking 2 off my granddaughters to the park to let my son go to the gym he picked them up an hour later.
My other granddaughter hasn’t been to well the past couple off days, she’s had ongoing issues since she was about 2 she’s 5 now with her stomach and they still haven’t gotten to the bottom off it. 

My daughter had her at the doctor this morning the doctor had sent her up the hospital her heart rate is high and she’s dehydrated, along with her sore stomach and sickness. It’s just a worry along with worrying about my mum, we haven’t heard how she got on yet.

Sorry for rambling on ❤️
