Awake and up all night

Aw sweetheart, you've very recently gone through a big surgery so it's hardly surprising the slightest thing will bring you down. Your mum is probably feeling fraught with worry and didn't realise how much her comment would upset you either. I know only too well how a thoughtless remark can escalate into a big, resentful argument. It happens my lovely and especially when something traumatic has happened.

Have you tried talking to mum or aren't you in the mood yet? Maybe you'll both be able to smooth it out when the heat's off. Fingers crossed  

But hey, well done you for getting this far in your recovery hon, and hats off for doing it. Try not to let something innocuous spoil how well you're doing.

Sending you big hugs and one for your mum if it's allowed xxx

Sorry to hear that you've had such a big surgery, it's very stressful and sometimes the smallest comment can hurt. 

Please come here and vent/moan, we all understand.

Evening folks. Tried catching up on the chat throughout the day for a change. So much is going on for lots of us.

Can I just hand out hugs to all who might find them useful?

OK! OK!

Back off! Please form an orderly queue ... stock is not limited ... that's better ... 

Cheers

I got my flu jab reminder today. Don't forget to book yours, and covid, if eligible.

Evening Shimmer  

I'll push to the front of the queue if that's ok with everyone?

Good cos TLC is coming up and I've hardly said two words to OH for almost 4 hours now. A bit like Me's situation - he's annoyed me to the max! I'd love to argue and rant but it's like having a barny with myself so I've not bothered.

Will most likely be back when his lordship goes up  xxx

I didn’t even think about this xx my head is messed up at the moment 

When can have the jabs just had surgery 2 weeks 

Another welcome from me. Glad you have found us. There are some truly fabulous folks here and heaps of experience from our cancer journeys and those of our loved ones.

It is very common to underestimate how much surgery and different bits of treatment take out of us. Especially when we are 'doing really well'.

You have experienced the strange state of feeling strong yet fragile. Again very familiar to folk here.

How do you and your mum usually rub along? The car window may well have been just the trigger to let out the pressure of recent weeks and months.

If there is usually argy bargy between you, this incident may just show that she thinks you are doing ok.

Your recovery will have ups and downs so try not to see this as a real setback. 

Tell us a bit more about who else you have around? Do you live alone?

Cheers

Hi, me again. Just to say there can be a bit of delay with replies appearing in the thread, so it may look like your messages haven't been read but we aren't ignoring you.

Cheers

No one going to argue when immediate assistance is required. 

When you return there will also be a brew waiting and several pillows to   

Cheers
