Awake and up all night

Evening Amanda so pleased you are feeling. You will feel better as time passes. I am the same. It has been 6 weeks since my operation. It has been a long slow struggle but getting stronger every week.xx

Evening Amanda  

Another siesta for me means another catch-up now. I never learn.

If the houses aren't worth going to bingo for, stay home and devour the chocolates instead hon.

I love your word - lush - so you have a lush evening too, my lovely xxx

Evening Sonia

You're doing absolutely brilliant sweetie, a real Superwoman.

I know what you mean about the TV mag. I get one for OH every Tuesday so he can check out sport events, but he does look for more general programmes too.

You have a lovely evening and settle down hon. I'm off to get the tea on again  big hugs xxx

Evening Gill. I think I have lost my confidence. I have been thinking of going all day. I finally got the confidence to go out about 6 pm. I have only been to hospital appointments for the last 6 or7 weeks. Have a lovely evening Gill.xxx

OH sweetheart, I can fully understand how your confidence has taken a knock. You're probably feeling a little bit isolated after all the hustle and bustle of the last few months and now suddenly find yourself left to get on with things like nothing's happened.

Well it has, and although Prince does everything he can, he can't be with you all the time unfortunately. Is Pat still in touch sweetie or another friend who could walk to the shops with you so you don't feel as vulnerable? If only there wasn't so many miles to cover I'd call round and I'm sure others here would too if it was possible. 

Whatever else you do, always come on here if a bit of virtual company does the trick as we all care about you lovey.

Hugs and lots of love sweetheart xxx

Brilliant,you will get more confident if you do more walks like this.You are right to feel proud,well done.Love Jane xx

Thanks H x

Evening Julie   

It's good to know your toe's on the mend hon. The last thing you need is a bondage boot, a la Shimmer!

Relax, and hugs lovey xxx

Hi Sonia, 

It's very easy to lose your confidence going out for a walk, particularly after you've been through something like you have.

I can truly relate. We have some small shops about an 8 minute walk up the road. I used to think nothing of bobbing up there but this week I had to force myself.  Almost thought about taking the car!! I ended up going with the umbrella as a stick which helped.  

You just have to start slowly and go out for a few minutes. Don't give in to it. Moving is important and getting out in the fresh air is good for your mental health, however quick a walk it is!  It will get easier (am saying that to myself too!!) Julie xxx

Aww thank you Gill. I would make you welcome. I am in touch with pat every day on the phone. She hasn't been out for months as well. I think hers is confidence too. Sending big hugs and love back to you.xxx
