  • Here's another thought for you. Is it possible your mum doesn't want you there cos she needs to be a child grieving for her parent as opposed to being your parent?

    Also, if you'd ever had a squirrel poop on your car from an overhead tree, you wouldn't feed them at all. They're a lot bigger than birds.

    !

    Also had the osteopath today. As much as he has done me a lot of good, I wasn't all that ok with his suggestion of feeling my coccyx via some rather.. unpleasant means. So when given the choice between that or helping my pelvic floor, I took that one... and ended up sat on a cushion on his lap.. he is a bit of a hippy. Last week he dug his fingers under my sternum and was pushing hard with each breath in. He also pushed all of his bodyweight into his thumb right into my groin to release some pressure from my bladder (apparently) and tells me this week that that area is much better. I feel a bit.. weird about it all but I actually can't fault the results. After the weird bladder push which seemed to last for 10 minutes and got more and more painful, I have to be honest I have barely bothered with painkillers all week. And that has been the only change. Paid £25 of my own money towards this session. Booked another one next week but undecided whether to go or not. Would be paying all of it and that is £40 directly from my savings...


    I find osteopathy all a bit odd as well, my son has had osteopathy for a few years now as he has hypermobility and this really helps.
    His osteopath 'squashes' him and does all sorts of odd things but it does really help. I think the issue I have is that DS weighs about 9stone (he is 18 and 6ft+ tall) and the osteopath must weigh about 20+stone!!!


    The coccyx thing is very ....hmmm.....interesting. Are they allowed to do that?


    If he wasn't an osteopath it might be classed as assault!!


    Does the place where you go have a female osteopath you could see instead?




    I too hate funerals and always cry way too much. Like you the worst funeral I went to was my step-cousin's (his dad married my auntie but they later divorced), he was 16 when he died - his dad was drink-driving and crashed into a tree and killed his son:eek:
    The worst bit was that his dad was also at the funeral, in a wheelchair as he was injured. He eventually went to prison for causing death by dangerous driving.


    The 'best' funeral was my Nanna's - she had a humanist funeral and it was just the loveliest thing ever. It was so personal and everyone in the family was mentioned (about 50 of us!!) and it was exactly as my Nanna would have wanted.


    I hope you manage to do whatever is best for you and not for anyone else. Doing something to remember your Pops by on the day of the funeral is a great idea.
