A long rave

Good that you plan ahead, @Pepsimax. I think I may end up at a friend's place at some point today. That will be nice. I have an errands today that I may or may not be well enough to do. Playing it by ear with my health. I'm glad to be talking about gifts though, it reminds me I need to get onto it soon.

@Appleblossom

thanks for the wise words. I hadnt thought of it that way. I seem to very informed but it doesnt seem to get me anywhere and I dont know why. I guess everyones different and have to keep trying but it just gets hard and seems pointless to keep trying.

Your a beautiful swan, I can tel

@PeppiPatty

exercises? What sort of exercises?

I do kinda have a timetable but it does change a lot due to the nature of both of my works, and my current mental and physical state.

But generally a day would look like for me:

7am- get up, get kids up and get them sorted for school

820- take the first sister to school

845- take the second sister to school

between 9 and 12- I take care of pop, his appointments, house work etc

12-3 working at second job

3 and onwards its mixed between study caring for pop , watching sisters till mum gets home, sorting dinner and everything else.

Thats just a general day but it changes a lot since I have to work around how I am mentally, physically, how pop is and his appointment times, my appointment times.

Broken sleep again tonight, coughing disturbing me still. Up and awake to escape the coughs, that increase a lot when I lie down. But I am very slowly improving overall, I think. I'm able to get a deeper lungful of air than I have for over a week now. It's a relief not to be rattling and wheezing on the slightest breath, and to be a little clearer in the head because of it.

But the broken teeth are continuing to cause pain and discomfort throughout the wakeful hours. Tried yesterday to get an emergency gov dental appointment, but can't get in for almost four weeks. In any case, with my chest and sinus infected, I don't believe they would treat me at present. What do you do about a mouth in this state when you can't get emergency dental? I wonder if I should go to my doctor about it. It's the jagged edges cutting into mouth and tongue that's alarming me. How long can that go on without doing real damage? And what do I do about the pain?

Hmmm, not a very cheery post. Hope others are doing a lot better. ox

Update: looks like I'm going to get some emergency dental today, at a fairly low cost. Just spoke to a dentist who will smooth out the sharp edges, so I can make it through to the gov dental appointment without this damage to mouth. I can't even speak properly, sound slurred. Now I just have to get myself into the shower and try to lift my energy to get myself out to the dentist. They are going to fit me in for ten minutes between appointments any time I turn up. Phew to a glimmer of hope with this.

I am worried about the persistence of your chest and cough, but relieved the dentist is helping more quickly.

Thinking of you specially today.

Dear @outlander

Yes, this is a hard timetable.

So, I feel like I'm callng the kettle black here: 

But we both need to discuss how to get selfcare in your timetable. The reson why I write " I feel like I'm callng the kettle black is because for the first time:

I yelled at my husband lately. I am so so tired and burnt out. Yesterday, Mr G saw his Physiopherpaist and he said to Mr G that there was no reason why he can't walk.....there was nothing wrong with him. 

I have been his hands and legs and general side kick for 2 months. 

Today: This is what is happening for me:

I made Mr G promise that in exchange of his walking when we took Arlo to the park next to the beach, I would buy him a coffee and gingerbread man. So, I bought him and he couldn't get out of the car. I walked Arlo......took MrG to the shemist, got his meds, got his stuff at shopping centre, drove hpme all ready to do some self care and no......Gotta take him to the hospital for his depo and them straight to work.

I feel like crying. 

The dishes are'nt done. The unit is a mess. I gotta get to work. 

How are we going to get self care into our timetables how can we do it ?

Hello dear @PeppiPatty

well we can work things out together. We are a team here and not- well we are individuals- but we all care for each other. I can hear your feeling burnt out but with the good news from the physio im hoping will take a lot of strain of of you.

Dont worry about the mess, not everything has to be perfect. Maybe Mr G can help out now?

What sort of things do you like to do that can implement into your routine or at least a few times a week?
