Awake and up all night

Aw, thanks for such a warm welcome, it is a friendly and kind group that has brought a smile to my face.  Today has not been a pleasant day but all over now and had a much welcome and very long nap this evening!!  Just hope that doesn't affect me getting some sleep tonight.  I think of steroids as the devil's tic tacs ... mine are tiny little tablets, they look so harmless but wreak havoc!  

Well spotted ... I am the same Tinkerbelle!!  I became really ill a year ago, ended up in hospital for a few weeks, then discharged and whilst delighted to be released back home, I felt dreadful.  It's been one of the worst years of my life and very tough on my other half too.

How are yourself and your other half? Did wonder about you and how things were going.  Hope all is well xx

Thank you for such a warm welcome Ukiboy and the group does seem very special and caring indeed.  I have enjoyed a quite considerable nap this evening although I will probably pay the price with being zing awake until the early hours!!

Welcome back Tinks! Aw I'm so pleased it's you and I did wonder where you'd gone last year. But lovey, what a dreadful time you've had since and I just hope you're going to be as well as you can. Thank god you've got your other half but I can relate with how you being so ill would have impacted on him, poor lad.

It's been a year of ups and downs, mainly downs, for us too. I've not updated my profile since last June as too much has happened. Hey, can you remember when we were waiting to see his therapist and I was thinking up a load of pork pies as he'd not been doing his exercises? Well since then OH landed up in hospital with a total body collapse brought on by a UTI and now has to use a stick to walk. So the exercises didn't do a scrap of good anyway and he's tottering around like a 90 year old! He still hasn't made much effort with communication but is also very depressed and awaiting counselling. So not a cracking report but he's still with me.

Now Tinks, I hope your devil's tic tacs will allow you some kip tonight hon but maybe after reading this drivel your eyes will be like lead now.

Great to have you back sweetheart and lots of love xxx

Yep, its tough for the carers too.  Think we both want me to be as well as I used to be but maybe we need to adjust our mindset!

Sorry he's had some downs too and hope the counselling helps. I do remember the pork pies, that was so funny at the time but that sounds so annoying that they were a waste of time.  I've had my own frustrations with physio ... I was doing well until I went to the physio!!

So I'll head to bed now and see if I can get any sleep. Lovely to hear from you and lots of love back at you xx

You do that hon, as sleep is always good. I think I might have a go too, so night night and rest as much as you can. Sweet dreams and hugs xxx

Sorry to hear that you've had to make a return visit to the forum but I hope that the treatment does what it should.

Are the steroids just for a few days?

Morning all 

I had a night of checking the clock at least 4 times but at least it was a bit cooler. 

Alan will be going over to do some painting at James' this morning and I'll be doing some ironing.

 Ukiboy my granddaughter, Thora, starts school in September and she is very inquisitive and quite intelligent. When she was going to the school transition morning she asked her Mum if she would learn something while there, hopefully this will continue.

Thinking of you today, Dinggy. Sending love and a quiet hug xxx

Morning Helen  

Another one with a chequered night but hopefully not because of stomach problems 

Ironing - none of that here, I've discovered how not to do it. Hopefully you'll get through yours comfortably in the cooler weather xxx
