Well I think you of all people are more than entitled to a fed up day and you of all people will not let yourself have another tomorrow!

Keeping_Motivated

Taxi, I saw the Kylie interview too and could see the emotion in her face and voice while she was talking about her expereince. She spoke of the dark times and also of the inability to concentrate for longer than half an hour so her friend got her programme series that lasted half an hour at a time, maybe you need to find something similar to pass some time too, ie DVD's instead of books, boxsets of your favourite comedies/programmes..do you have an ipod? Maybe download a book onto that? Arrange for friends/family to come to your house on regular visits? Your life needs adjusting to for a while as you might not be as independent as you are used to so it may be a good idea to think outside the box as its out of your comfort zone to not be able to nip out and about/work when you want to.

You take care xx

Hi Taxi! :wave:

Sorry to hear that you are sounding a bit claustrophobic, but hopefully you'll be able to get out and about tomorrow (today!) to get rid of that.

Other than that, you are doing absolutely brilliantly, and I can understand the frustration from someone who is so used to doing lots of things all the time.

Take care still and all. x

I've got to admit...I've become a bit of a fan of audiobooks. I've got 6/7 of the Harry Potters and they are fabulous cos they are read by Stephen Fry.

You can download iTunes and load them onto the program without having an actual iPod and listen to them on your 'puta, but I think (finances permitting) that you deserve a treat with all that you have been through.

iPods are also brilliant for putting music/other audiobooks on to encourage you to go for a walk/to the gym (when you are up to it). x

P.S. How has the Panni been going? (If you haven't used it much, I totally understand...)
