I'm a lover... but from far away. All the cleaning and caring..? Just not me, I can barely look after myself!

Same here. I failed to look after my last cat properly, because I was so unwell. Not fair to risk it happening again. I certainly couldn't cope with a dog.

My dad is exactly the same. He once suggested (well I say once... it's been referred to many... many...many....many times) that he should buy a house in my home town and I should rent off him. Before we even take into account that they live about 200miles away, let me just say erm no!

Yup, been there too - not only did I have my father banging on about how I should buy a house instead of renting (with what? I was at that time earning less than £11,000 p/a).

And my darling Ma, decided after the brain haemorrhage that I should move into the same village that she and Dad lived. Not on your Nelly! a) I had enough of living in a small town before I moved to a city, b) much as I loved my parents, the last thing I wanted was to have them looking over my shoulder/breathing down my neck all the time.

I wanted one to keep me company, but knew I couldn't continuously get up to let it out or walk it. I'll just have to be satisfied with stealing the love of OH's/MIL2B's dogs til we get our marital home

Ugh, dearest mother offered to get dad to come pick me up so I could recouperate at theirs...cannot tell you how grim of an idea that would be. I think the stress and boredom would kill me far before any of my symptoms did

I was discharged from hospital about 10 days after the bleed - the choices were back to the hospital in my home town, or back to my parents. To be honest, going to my parents was the lesser of the two evils at that point. With hindsight, it may not have been the wisest decision I ever made, but at the time there was no way I wanted to go back to the hospital where 10 days earlier they were telling me I was making a lot of fuss over a migraine. Can't think why.

Now, when I'm more unwell than usual, all I want is the comfort of my own home.

I luckily have a ridiculously (for me and christmas present buying purposes anyway :rolleyes:) large family (I'm one of 5) and I my married (and unmarried actually) siblings have offered to put me up for rehabilitating purposes... I think that's a much preferable option to the folks
I can fully understand why would take that option, and why you may live to regret it!

My CBT therapist suggested that rather than me being in more pain when I'm more tired, that maybe I'm more tired when I'm in more pain... I didn't really give it much credit til today, when I realised that I was fast asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow last night, was out of it cos I was so tired last night, and only woke up at 4.15pm today (which fair enough is not *that* unusual, but at least it's usually cos of some meds concoction!)... I'm now wondering if maybe she had a point after all :rolleyes:

raeh

:eek: how much 'chatting'???? i take a day away from the laptop and look what happens ..... total chaos :rotfl:
