Re: How are you feeling physically?
They sound a bit petty his parents. I would certainly seek a professional diagnosis while you're here. Talk to your GP as soon as you are able too.

My (s) daughter describes me as dad or stepdad depending on the company she's with. Sadly some people can be a bit off re her calling me dad. I've known her for nearly 40 years whereas her biological father had disappeared off the scene when she was very young. |

Re: How are you feeling physically?
Did some walking without the frame while youngest granddaughter was here.She went in front of me with the zimmer.Far end of lounge to bedroom- then to kitchen- very short pause and then walked till I got to the computer chair in the lounge . I was feeling a bit knackered by then so stopped and sat down.

They are nice at least, but yeah... I have to keep a lot of secrets myself. They think I'm converted Muslim (lol I'm actually a practicing pagan witch ), but they are so superstitious that they literally got upset at me bringing home a garden ornament shaped like a fairy. I think his father would have a heart attack if he found out what I practice But even still, out of respect I don't practice in their home. Even though nothing I do is negative, I strongly believe that their own energy would turn it into that. It does really box myself in though. :S |

Re: How are you feeling physically?
Oof I have literally been plagued by headaches nearly every day since that mental breakdown. I already get them pretty often, but I think the stress really brought it home this time. :/
Well, it's gone for now. Fingers crossed that I don't get anymore headaches for a while. |

Re: How are you feeling physically?
I can now walk reasonably well,, no doubt with the odd gait I've always had However I can't do it for very long, as I get heavy legged. Overall I don't feel too bad for my age

On a cultural level though? I haven't had much complaints so far. Driving is pretty wild, but thankfully I don't have to do that. My husband is a great one. I get pretty carsick from the roads though lol! People seem nice enough? They keep to themselves a lot, which is great. The ones I do interact with have been pretty nice to me though. There are definitely some people embracing the ghetto lifestyle here hhaa, but what country doesn't have it? Last weekend I went to the park and some boys took out a motorcycle and started riding it around the sidewalk where elderly and families were. I was pretty flabbergasted by that I feel like I could make a whole thread about the experience of living here, but the culture shock for me hasn't been too crazy. To me, Portland already has this lifestyle going (minus the guns here thankfully). Quote:

Re: How are you feeling physically?
Tired, I seem to be part of the insomnia club again, slept for a few hours, wide awake during the early hours, knackered in the morning and want to stay in bed.

Re: How are you feeling physically?
Gp has just seen me. My (s) daughter was here with me.Legs are swollen quite a lot. Need to be able to get outside and walk. At the moment I'm flat bound. My (s) has said she can't take the risk of my falling down the stair and needs the physios to confirm it's safe to do so. I said to the GP I'd managed the test stairs at the rehab unit OK, but she said that after 3 weeks or so not doing something like that you lose the muscle strength.
I'm second on the list for a place that's available. My (s)daughter has asked the GP to write a more strongly worded letter re my needing to move.She doesn't think the GP will do so. It was also pointed out that being flat bound wasn't good for my mental health. |

Re: How are you feeling physically?
^ That's a bit of a difficult situation. Are you able to sit with your feet up sometimes? That can help with swelling.
I'm sure all your practicing walking will help with gaining back muscle strength so keeping going with that seems like a good thing to do. |

Re: How are you feeling physically?
I'm currently 2nd on the list for a place that's available. They've already said that a 1st floor place, even if there's a lift,is out of the question due to my mobility issues.. That seems to be a recent policy as through her work my (s)daughter knows several people with mobility issues in such flats.

Re: How are you feeling physically?
Tired and achey. Slept for England, feeling no better. I've bought vit-C and am expecting them at some point today, though not expecting miracles. Think i'll start on the super duper prescription allergy meds that i've got leftover from last year.

Sorry you aren’t feeling great Rocket Spud, have you tried wellman Original supplements, they are suppose to be very good.

Re: How are you feeling physically?
Thanks, Quietman. I don't usually feel like this so a general supplement such as Wellman's probably won't do the job i'm afraid, it's a reaction to allergies that i'm suffering from.

Re: How are you feeling physically?
I feel like someone crept into my room last night and rubbed a block of sandpaper down the back of my throat. OUCH!
Who gets a cold in May? Who! Going to go to the shop to buy some ginger. I'm hoping some ginger, lemon and honey and hot water will alleviate it a little. I'm shivering. I feel so chilly. I'm trying to write four assignments when I just want to be wrapped up warm in bed. |

Re: How are you feeling physically?
No, not you as well!
Lol, since the exercise and shower, i've had something to eat and been in a right daze. I'm having second thoughts about what's wrong because i'm back to feeling poorly. I'm really, really tired and achey - i could just as well go to bed already is how i'm feeling. Is something going around? Hope you get well soon - don't forget to add orange to your drink, it goes well and should help. |

Re: How are you feeling physically?

Thank you and thanks for the tip! I'll add a slice of orange in there too. Same here - ever so achy and tired. I could happily go to bed right now, too. Maybe I'll have some soup. Then do an assignment in bed with the ginger drink. Feel better soon |

Re: How are you feeling physically?
Not great. I’ve realised that, due to my gradually worsening disability, I can no longer climb stairs without a handrail, even if it’s just a couple of steps. Well, I can, but I just look incredibly drunk. Along with my thinning hair, I’m starting to feel like I’m ageing fast, and I’m not even 30 yet.
I don’t think about this all the time, but it just upset me today. My disability could be a lot worse, and I’m grateful for that, but I really don’t like to be reminded of it. Also, as it has become more obvious at work, I’ve noticed colleagues are a lot more concerned about how I am, and are extra nice with opening doors, letting me go first etc. It shows how they are lovely caring people, but I don’t like it. |
