Oh no, I am sick at heart to hear of your pain! I wish I could be there to wash your hair in the sink for you while you relax. <3 <3 <3

so sorry your man is getting such treatment at work, too.

On the positive side, so pleased to learn you are being well cared for.

all my love,

cat

Thank you all so much - amazing support, love to you all xxxxx

We did just that in the end annie, it was hard to my neck in that position and I ended up with water all down my back and front but by god I had lovely clean hair (hadn't been washed for 5 days LOL)

Ross, I hadn't taken my night time meds but you remember my other thread where I was talking about getting woozy and dizzy in the evening? Well when I went into respite I didn't have it so they are now thinking it is psychological for the most part. Like it gets to a certain time of day and my body and mind literally starts to shut down. I think it was a mixture of freaky accident getting up badly and a bit of wobbly knees. I'm at fracture clinic this morning so find out what needs doing then, am hoping they put me in a proper cast as this one is too loose now the swelling has gone down so it causing me a bit more pain now, although I am not looking forward to them snipping off this one - eeks! Scary moment!

Well, the swelling hadn't gone down enough :( Although it had gone down when my foot was raised as soon as I lowered it I felt this rushing sensation and it would fill back up. So got the backslab on for another 10 days!!!! He said if can put a full cast on then would be another 2 weeks no with bearing and then start with some weight bearing after that, so another 24 days no weight bearing!!!! He said looking at 3 months for full recovery *sniff sniff* this is a lot longer than 6 bloody weeks GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

Hi roses

I know your pain, have broken so many bloody bones :( Sniffle and weep away! I really hope they can get to the bottom of the passey outey business, that really is strange innit. My "figure stuff out" brain is wondering if it has something to do with the hormones in your circadian rhythm, you know the adrenaline / melatonin / cortisol combination. I know many folks suffer from severe mood changes because of that cycle, am wondering if yours has got to the point where you actually pass out. Its that weird meeting place where psychology and body combine.

Have you ever suffered from passing out due to needles or stress? There is something called vasovagal syncope, where one of the body's main nerves causes a sudden drop in blood pressure due to stress. Its basically fainting, but I have my own suspicions that those with anxiety and MH problems may suffer it more in connection with stress. Are you still doing your meditating with Alora? I just wondered if de-stressing before evening might help.

Sorry to be Mr Helpey if helpey isnt whats required, you know me. Tell me to sling my hook if I am being a pain :)

Thank you all so much for your continued support and kind words, I look forward to my half hour alloted leg down time every morning and night - so I can come on here xxxxx

Ross, we wondered if it was to do with stress because when I was in respite I didn't have it at all and when I came home Mike and I discussed about me doing less in the day. So I did that. Instead of rushing about full speed ahead all day I was doing a couple of hours, then sitting watching TV for a couple then doing a bit more etc... and it had got a lot better. There were a couple of nights it didn't happen at all and several nights it wasn't til about 10.30/11pm (instead of the usual 9-10pm). Since I've done this it has been around 9-9.15 but I'm sure that's cos I'm exhausted as well. We might look into the blood pressure thing, thanks.

Roses thats really shit that you will be out of action for 3 months.

I think that when bad things happen, we realise how lucky we are. Even tho the day to day might seem boring, at least I don't have a broken leg, or foot- or a missing cat- (as i thought this morning and FREAKED out)

Thinking of you, with love annemarie xxxx

Roses omg,

So sorry you are going through this. My goodness. It's good to have support around you but I understand the helplessness you can feel. I'm house bound at moment but mates coming over for sex and city and juice. Can you have a friend come over for a gossip with you take your mind off your pain, if its possible.

If I was there I'd share my drugs with ya, give you some quality nebulisers make you high and laughing and we would gossip about supposed trendy women wearing ridiculous lady Gaga outfits.

I'll throw you a text now. If you need cheered up let me know.

Hey Rose. Long time no talk. I told you not to be jumping off the wardrobe.

Only messing. Sorry that you broke your leg. How are things otherwise. This must have set you back?
