Just a quick update
Still seeing the Psychologist with so much happening in my own life and family.. Just to add to the mix I am now under the care of the Respiratory Rapid access team, ran a temp so got sent to ED my Oxygen levels were crazy low. I've always suffered horrible hay fever and cough in spring and autumn. Antihistamines have usually helped but not his time I'm afraid. I don't understand any of the discharge report because it says refer to scan. Having a lung function test on the 13th. yet another chest CT on the 17th. then back to cancer clinic on the 24th. Don't see the Lung Specialist till February. For now I have a preventer inhaler. I am to try stay out of the wind and if they are doing any back burning in my area to stay indoors.
On a positive my sons shoulder surgery went well, my daughters shoulder surgery is booked for the 30th (she has in layman's terms laxity of the joints.) and needs her tendons tightened up in her shoulder. daughter in law seems to be over the worst of her kidney stones. The daughter with the Crohn's is nearly on top of the latest flare up.
Now to concentrate on me getting better. And back to the boring stable state.
Hey there. Wondering how you are going 3 months later?

Hiparkrunner9973 thanks for asking
Been a bit slack on here lately. My me time is greatly reduced at the moment. My psychologist has been great. She lets me ramble on about anything and everything. I come away from each session a lot lighter
She does give me advice. But I think she knows I just need to unload to someone. I don’t really have anyone left in my life that I can do that with in person.
Sometimes I will get on here and start to unload then delete it all.
I was Hoping 2026 would come with better times can’t see much beyond March before thing ease up health wise.
if my minor surgery goes ahead on the 5th February I’ll be missing our first mets group meeting for the year on the 6th. Oh well someone else will have to do the morning tea- arpie26 days agoMember

Hicranky_granny wishing for a brighter 2026 for you, and hoping your children’s health concerns are resolving. Sounds like you’ve been there for everyone. I found your posts were such a help when I first started on this network: thank you ☺️ I hope you continue to get really good support from your psychologist.

Great to hear from you. My psychologist is good for just listening too. I am sorry you dont have anyone in real life you can unload to.
Wishing you well for your minor surgery!
