Re: rough time

On the train @outlander. What was he doing to overwhelm you? My appointment is never the time given as it us a general plastic clinic for all sorts of reasons. Therefore they're always running behind as some patients take longer than others to see. Most of the time I wait about half hour to an hour but some people have to wait up to two hours. That's big public hospitals for you. In a fair bit of pain this morning. I'll study a little when I get home and then it'll be time for my volunteer walk.

Re: rough time

Hes been in a mood today. Sometimes hes harder to be around then kids @Sans911
Started this morning. He asked if i wanted a tea and i said 'yes but ill make it the way it needs to be made at the moment'
Him- slams the spoon in the cup. ' are you in a mood yet again'
I said 'no i was just getting a cup and that i have to make my teas a different way for now' and then says well obviously you are. Picks up his tea and goes in the bedroom.
Then before i had a few things to do like scan and send papers to his specialist. And i forgot i needed his pill names and doses so asked if he could just run down to the chemist which is 5 min away and he growled at me so i just wrote down note for the chemist what i was after and said again to go down for me.

Next one was i askes if he could just ring his drs and ask them to reprint the referal out for the specialist as ive misplaced it. I said id dial the number and write down what it was i was after. Didn't want to do that either. Managed to convince him to ring but they were closed for lunch break so now have to try and do it. He told me that its my job to do it.

Ive been in quite abit of pain despite pain killers so i only wanted him to ring so i didnt keep stretching the stitches and didn't sound so much like a frog on the phone. Along with that the tingling and itch is starting to drive me bonkers so it was just adding to it.

I have the kids and need to do the horses this arvo but i think since i feel ok to drive i might go watch the waves or something for a while.

Ah yeah, public hospitals are good like that. Always have to cut out half your day to accomodate the one appointment hey. Have you overworked yourself or something to cause the pain or its just decided to flare up today? Hopefully they can help you out while your there.
Sounds like a pretty easy going day for the most part though.

Re: rough time

Just asked him to ring drs again for me. Big groan throw the book down and stompped out here :face_with_rolling_eyes:

 

I know that sometimes he cant help it and generally doesnt mean it but sometimes  his attitude  and actions are hard to be near and its overwhelming almost having someone who is older but acts like a child and/or needs to be treated  like a child  in some aspects. 

Re: rough time

Oh dear hun @outlander. He's not very helpful or understanding is he? I'm sorry this is on your shoulders.

Some time out watching the ocean sounds like a pleasant idea.

The pain is in my sternum, where they cut my ribs. It flared up last night and has continued today. I've taken my pain meds already but didn't take the stronger one as I was out and about & it can sometimes have unpredictable side effects like low blood pressure.

I really didn't know want to get out of bed today as I was quite tired. The cats have been waking me a little earlier by being naughty in the morning. It hasn't helped that I've not been going to sleep until quite late.

Re: rough time

Sending gentle hugs and hoping your appt goes well ❤

Re: rough time

Hi @outlander and @Exoplanet 
I am not sure that I can answer your question Outlander about the post that you can't find. Possibly Exoplanet chose to edit a post rather than it being a moderation matter or maybe you will locate it when you're on a larger device?


Re: rough time

I found one post @Eucalypt and the other came through emails and can see what happened there and why it was removed. all good.

Re: rough time

hello @Eucalypt , @Gazza75 , @Sans911 , @Exoplanet
