I can’t cope

[Captain24]

My team is in the bottom of the ladder! @Snowie. The loser follows the losing team! Lol. 

I didn’t cry in this movie like the 2 last night. one of them last night had the line ‘I have an illness, I am not my illness’. That made me cry!

It has been a great distraction. I need to not focus on my thoughts and the fact that all I can do is sit. I have so much housework to do. 

oops @tyme 

[Snowie]

That line would have made me cry too @Captain24 

I'm sorry to hear your team is at the bottom. Hopefully they won't be there for long.

I get the housework problem. Trying to get some done here. I have so much washing to do still and have already done a lot of loads.

I hope sitting is helping you at that it is getting a little better. H is out at the moment getting a massage on his back. Can you go get some help in the coming days?

[Captain24]

My team won the wooden spoon last year so I don’t hold much hope 😂 @Snowie.

Im going to ask dad tonight at dinner if he will mow my front lawn one day this week. It only takes 20 mins. I just don’t want to be ‘that’ house in the street. 

As for the rest of the housework, it’s just going to have to wait. I’m hoping I can get the kitchen tidied tomorrow between my therapy app and driving 1 1/2 hrs to the next town for my MRI. I just have to be careful as the drive is going to hurt. As well as laying in the MRI machine. 

I hope H’s back isn’t to bad.

[Snowie]

I hope your Dad can help you out @Captain24 

Wow, that is a long drive for an appointment. I hope you are able to drive that far and your back isn't hurting too much. I hope that and your therapy app goes ok tomorrow.

H's back is ok. He had a car accident in his early 20's and is just paying for it in his 40's now.

[Captain24]

That’s small country towns for you! @Snowie Everything involves travel. 

Hopefully dad will do it but I doubt it. 

I’m sorry about his accident and now he is suffering.

[Snowie]

He is ok @Captain24 Just really maintenance now. He broke his lower back, pelvis, ribs and arm at the time so has more issues the older he gets.

I live in a country town too, so get the driving everywhere too. Besides the local doctor, we have to drive for most things too. I love living in a country town, but don't like that lack of services around.

[Captain24]

I love the country town too @Snowie. It’s hard for anything serious. We do have a local hospital that has just been built. However it’s not really much use for anything major. I can’t fault the MH team though. The psychiatrist even comes in person now. 

[Snowie]

I'm glad your MH team are good, even better that your pdoc comes to town @Captain24 

We have a local hospital too but only for small things.

Family dinner was actually good @tyme @Snowie. The power went out 3 times while mum was cooking. But everyone got along with no arguments or snide remarks!

[tyme]

Hahaha. Well if it takes a power outage and back pain for a pleasant dinner, can we say it was worth it? lol... 

But of course, I'd rather you not be in pain! @Captain24
