Hi @Shaz51
It's good to see you - I do read in here from time to time - now I find it hard to relate to people's really genuine issues - whether that's because I have moved on to the next stage of my life or just because this stage has had its own adventures - I don't know -
I've been challenged - mostly I enjoy my life - my dental surgery took a lot out of me - it was worth it - the whole process took months - nearly a year when my nutrition failed because I couldn't chew. I saw a nutritionist - she helped me out.
Things fell apart between me and my daughter - aw - her spinal fusion failed and she has other health issues - normally her criticism of my choice to have dental implants would not have bothered me - I was too vulnerable though - hopefully she is getting over herself now.
We are very different people - I research everything so I even knew and understood the gases I had for the operation - my daughter wouldn't want to know and that's okay - that's her choice - maybe she's learning something I know nothing about now - or - I already know everything about -
It's okay - my shoulder is still a major problem - I have support workers through My Aged Care - the research I did on that paid off - for me - the more I know the better I cope.
I am pretty sure things are still tough with Mr Shaz - and I am pretty sure you haven't had your kidney transplant - though you might have. I know your dear old Mum died a good while back and that must have been a tough time for you.
I think of my dear friend - how you are such a battler now in your 60s - which seems very young to me now
Take care of yourself - there is no need to put yourself last - you are worth a great deal more than that.
All my love
