Ive come back

Ive been gone for a while but Im back for a bit. To catch people up, Ive been off work for about 20months due to my mental health, along the way there has been a number of physical issues as well. Ive started a pain clinic for wedge fracturing in my thoracic spine. I start EMDR in January next year for CPTSD.

 

Im now on 33 tablets a day, some for pain, some for different physical issues and some for psych. I have a fair list of diagnoses. But my main ones are Schizoaffective disorder (which includes anxiety, depression, insomnia etc.), the Wedge Fracturing, Bladder Cancer, Sleep Apnea, Type II Diabetes, Calcific Tendonitis, Arthritis (spine, neck, hands, wrists and knees) and Venous Insufficiency. Thats the short list, there is a much longer comprehensive list. 

 

My Mum died about 2 months ago, lets say things were not great between us, she was a source of great anxiety. She was very critical of me, very hard on me, she took great pleasure in torturing me and I mean that. Anyhow, she died and my mental health improved dramatically, like I was looking at going onto DSP and I am in the process of returning to work. Im hoping that they will actually sign off over the next week. 

 

Other than my sister getting in the way of my life. My life is actually improving and Im actually starting to get it back. I wont go into the sister thing here but I just wanted to share that life is making a turn around.

Hi @ClockFace do you tend lawn? 

Re: Ive come back

@Macey ah no. I cant even do the lawn where I live and we have a ride on

Re: Ive come back

Do the lawn @ClockFace ? You mean can't mow the lawn @ClockFace ? Why can't mow the lawn @ClockFace ?

Re: Ive come back

@Macey 

 

Why did you ask if I tend lawn?

 

I cant mow the lawn because of the pain Im in. I have wedge fracturing and arthritis in my spine, which causes a great deal of pain, there are few things I can actually manage for any length of time, including walking
