Unfortunately the new filling has also come out @Faith-and-Hope so another trip to the dentist. Not sure when yet - need to wait for a cancellation. They are going to need to scan the area and make an insert rather than a filling ...all seems a lot but fillings have not worked so I guess that is now the only option.

@Faith-and-Hope @TAB Had to cancel my specialist appointment for Monday. I can't do anything until I hear from work cover and the department requires the paperwork to be posted ...so I sent it by priority mail today. I could not send in the paperwork until I got the official work cover medical certificate from my GP yesterday and by the time I got out of that appointment, the post offices were already closed. Now I have to wait and see if they will cover it. My GP has stated it is a new injury directly from the fall at work but with my history of back issues, they could try to negate that. So for the time being it is living around when I can have pain relief and not being able to do very much at all 😢

with covid and my knee giving out at work ( told by dr no way not old age.. but yeah .. ok)
and covid dole , food delivery spent months in la la land ok prob a lot longer before hurt knee. Anyhoo. Knee fine now. So long as dont do anything did at work, like stairs, bending reaching, carrying, working on floor level etc
Do what you can for for best outcome @Zoe7 not easy. I had just been made full time , was getting pushed to get back to work, so hurt it again, then had to front big boss to agree not to be permanent anymore. signed agreement to be casual, never heard from them again after that lol .. different world...

I have been given a lot of 'conditions' to follow when back at work @TAB and adjustments that need to be made. Some are going to be hard given the work I do but I have been so restricted for weeks anyway so now it is in 'black and white' it should be easier to navigate when back at work.

😢 @Zoe7 …. keep taking care Hon. Doesn’t sound fun at all, but baby steps are getting you somewhere ❤️
Sounds pretty sucky too @TAB. Take care of you.
Bit of a wet rag here at the moment, so still taking down time when I should be working ….. oh well.

You are probably not still around @Faith-and-Hope but I am thinking of you Hon. I know I am pretty distant and not here much but there is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you. I also know you get it 💕Life, and all it's ups and downs get in the way. It is also just too hard on here - has been for a long time 😢 I often feel there is just no point and when that happens just one too many times, it has an effect. The connection we have always had is, and will always be, one of the guiding lights in my life. I hope we do not lose that because even in absence, that will remain but Hon, I am tired. I don't know the way forward at present - and I know not being able to do anything I would usually be able to fill my time with, is having a massive impact. I would have usually looked right here on the forums for support and guidance however that has not been an option for a long time ...not sure if it will ever be again but I suppose that is life - things change, and not always in a positive way.

Hearing you @Zoe7 . I am feeling burnout too. I just can’t get myself motivated at the moment, and although I have extensions on my work, I really have to find some get up and go again. Still not sure about how far the ex can / has reached into my privacy either, which is inhibiting, but that was always what it was designed to be ….. all of this will pass, but there is a sense that former camaraderie is down at the moment amongst many here. I think covid has also taken a toll, along with other aspects and changes. I am resting on the forums rather than engaging as actively as I was, but it has been another tough year, and I think there are more than just the two of us who need recovery time. Hold tight Hon. Let’s see what the new year brings ? Your fall was much heavier than I realised, and I expect that goes for other forum friends as well, and of course I can’t spill out here just how heavy my load has been, but I know that from the early years, you know …..
Hugs n hugs 💖🦋🌷🙏☕️💪💐😓😘🥰

Yes I do know @Faith-and-Hope and honestly, one of the disappointments on my behalf has been not being able to be here for you. I have spoke extensively to my psych about this and there has been a lot of tears but like you, part of that is I do not have the energy. That really is no excuse because you have been here throughout for me (soooo much). But we are limited also - as you know. Not just on here for each other but in what you can post ...and I would never want to add to the thought that ex could be invading your space and using anything against you. It is so complicated for you and so draining. I have no doubt you are tired and lack motivation - very much the same and very much hearing you too Hon. BUT never doubt I am, and always will be in your corner, silently supporting you when I cannot be here and loving you always. You came to me like a light in the darkness when I was at my worst - and have continued to be so for many years now - I admire, respect and love you and am so grateful for our friendship. You mean the world to me and I, too, cannot wait for the day that all this shite is behind you and you can begin to move on from all ex has (and is) putting you through. Some people just do not deserve a second thought but you, my dear, deserve everything. Keep floating Hon and swim when you can - I will always be sitting on your shoulder, fluttering my wings to let you know I am with you and very much care 💕
As for on here - I hear you also. There is a lot that needs to change but that is for another time and another avenue to discuss with those that need to hear it.
