Just needed to be heard for a little while

Two ops were primarily on the cards, he feels this is not a reasonable expectation to have and I should prepare for a number of them if we do go down this route. Ops don't really scare me so that doesn't worry me in itself. The practicalities do a bit. Also that there is no saying it will solve things like fatigue issues.

Lots to think about, LIR.

I try not to enter into the Arms too much. It's a bit rough for me sometimes. .

Oh, it depends entirely on which thread you're on. The ones I frequent have some really nice and funny people on them:-
Good morning thread
Good night thread
Three word thread
Red arrows
Canadian Lancaster
It's a Panda!
What's irritating you?
What has made you smile?
Son going to University
Favourite photographs taken over the years
What's your favourite piece of music? (Think that's the title)
The Halcyon Thread ..............(I started that! And two or three others like 'Oh God! What have you just realised?' And 'Come hither muse, us to amuse' which was my poetry thread).

There are some others which are also ok, but can't remember them off-hand. It's like everything; sometimes you get one or two people who act like silly baggers and lower the tone, but on these threads, it's usually light-hearted and sometimes very funny banter!

Groan! My throat's sore and my nose is running and I's not well!:(

Good morning all!

Aww, Pyxis you are suffering! Stay cuddle up under a blanket, plenty of hot drinks and bad tv and books. Having a cold is rotten.

Well done on getting through the appointment, LIR! We can cry together when we attend, I cry without fail. It sounds as if things are moving forward at least, hopefully the surgeries will give you some more stability. It is still a lot to consider, though so give yourself a while to let it sink in.

Physio crippled me! My carer was helping me with my shoulder exercises and something at the back of neck (where the damage is) made a grating sound loud enough for us both to hear and oh, the agony! I have taken codeine and Tramadol and all it has done is take the edge off of it! I can't move my head at all to the right, it feels as if movement is blocked like I have grown a new bone that doesn't bend that way. I am really hoping this resolves itself over the course of the day.

Try an ice pack on it. (Wrapped in a tea towel)

Good idea, Pyxis! I shall wave pathetically at WaSp to fetch me one.

Talking of Coronation Street I used to watch it all of the time until I became ill. When I was working but still undiagnosed and really struggling the episode came on where Bet Gilroy left, I watched it with residents. It wasn't a very nice leaving with a lot of sadness, she didn't want to go. I ended up locking myself in the office afterwards and crying my eyes out because I felt what she felt (I believed). She had been let down by her friends, I started to think of things (that had never happened) that staff had done to let me down and plot behind my back to get rid of me. I got through the evening somehow and came home in tears and felt as if I had to pack and leave because the same identical things had happened to me and it fed into my paranoia for weeks afterwards.

I didn't realise what was wrong with me then but it was one of the first examples of me confusing reality and fiction. This is why I now avoid any tv involving real life based situations, I will place myself in the roles of the characters and become completely confused about what is real and isn't. With soaps and similar I begin to believe that I am in the same scenarios and apply them to often fictitious real life situations. This is why I can cope with Doctor Who, it is pure fantasy and there is nothing for me to latch onto (regenerations not included. I am triggered before them, distraught during them and invariably psychotic after them. I still watch them). Now I have said that watch me start believing that I am a Time Lord...

I used to watch nearly all the soaps. (Years ago.)
Gradually, I gave up on each one, because the story lines became repetitive and hyper-dramatic, and hence boring.
I had watched Corrie since it started! I stuck with it, 'cos,I liked the humour and the strong female characters. But it, too, became very repetitive.
No-one's ever allowed to have a happy relationship that lasts. If an actor wants to leave, they have to be killed off! If they want to leave, why not do what they always used to, and have a gap, then put another actor in?
Plus everything has to be so OTT. What used to be so good about Corrie was its realness. Not any more!
I was sad, but stopped watching it a few months ago. Was so bored with it. You could predict the storylines.
A real shame!

Aw, it's a shame it went that way, I haven't watched it since the episode I quoted so that's a good 20 years ago now. It sounds as if watching today would be a thrice weekly trip into psychosis for me anyway so just as well!

As it is I am twitching slightly at the new Doctor Who. No one probably noticed but me that there were hardly any deaths in the last few series. We have had one in the last 3 episodes shown. I think I can handle it, I think...

Not a dr who fan ( did n't watch it as a kid so maybe don't have the cultural background?) not watch the soaps.....though my cts adore east Enders, we try not to let them watch it to much. Dog dog likes a lot of tv. Her favourite is you've been framed with the animal clips. She also likes nature programmes, one man and his dog and ATM there is an advert with a tiger that drives her potty. Any thing with animals drives her crazy. But dogs the most. The other two not really, but they get excited if she does.

I also have some funny pictures of her Nd cats watching tv.

That's adorable, LIR! My cats never paid attention to tv at all, I am jealous! Honestly, I think that's lovely.

I'll dig through photos later for you WaS. There is one with a huge ugly bird head, so funny.

Yes please! I would love to see the photo's!
