Hi Calley great minds, I have been having a smoothie most days (fresh strawberries, frozen strawberries and blueberries, protein powder and maca)
Haven't been able to the last couple tho.
I might need to tell my friends at work cos they were nagging me to eat chicken wiv them Friday (one went and got KFC) and that's made it worse (nagging does, don't know whether my stubbornness kicks in)

I knew I had read before about you drinking smoothies. So if nothing else at least you are getting something in you.

Years ago I use to make massive smoothies for me and my husband. Might start again actually. Got lots of fruit in the freezer.

I would be the same if someone kept nagging me. Its like I know how to eat healthy. But if you nag me you can ugger off :rotfl:

Yours

Hopefully will manage it tomorrow the maca had helped stabilise my cycle and it's nice not being !!!!! queen from hell every 2 weeks.

What worried me a bit is this time I didn't notice the weight loss till it was pointed out usually I do.

I get that feeling with some dreams Flybaby.
I can wake up feeling a certain way and it can take a whole day at times to shake the feeling off.
I also have very real, mundane dreams and have sometimes gone a couple of days before realising something I dreamt didn't actually happen!

I do have a very vivid imagination which I think is part of it.

When I was young I refused to go to school for a couple of weeks as there was a man sat outside our house waiting for me. He would look through our windows and letterbox too so we had to have all the curtains closed and the letterbox taped up.
I could definitely see him, and would recognise him today if he was real. Never did work out if I imagined it, hallucinated or dreamt it etc.
I also had a period of time where my legs stopped working, and no amount of hospital tests found anything wrong. Then I woke up one day and was fine.

I must have been a right pain in the bum kid, totally over-active imagination!! Thankfully these days it is contained in my rather odd dreams!

You've had quite a bit more going on than usual though Melly, so it's not so surprising.

hi guys, I hope you're ok. Just to let you know they cancelled my surgery for the 3rd time.. they cancelled at 6pm on Thus, the night before .. It took everything I had to psych myself up to go back to the hospital that almost killed me and I'm actually so stunned and in shock that they cancelled I am almost catatonic, i just can't do this anymore.. i can;t take it any more , it layers damage upon damage to my broken mind x

The reason I was told to write my dreams down were because most were bad and a lot were reoccurring. Rather than them lurking in my subconscious writing them down brought them into reality and the impact was a lot less the next time I had them surprisingly enough. It's worth a try! Also you tend to see patterns in them which can help you make sense of them.

Oh Faerie, you sound so exhausted. Hang in there, you aren't alone. It isn't your fault that anything was cancelled and you have a right to be upset.

thanks WaS - appreciate the input. Mine too are sort of recurring - but more like 20 years of watching a soap opera as they have developed and changed - in fact these ones are oddly comforting and are not the ones that leave me feeling panicked etc. I shall try writing them down and see if that helps - just had a wey odd one that I have never had before. I know the recurring theme is not being able to communicate - not being able to get people to understand me or see the danger they are etc etc. I have one with a pink panda in (think human sized panda in shades of pink) whom I now call dave the pink panda. The first time he appeared, everyone was talking and acting totally normally and I was like "guys, this is not normal" and everyone was hushing me like I was being really mean or racist to him........but I knew it wasn;t normal to have a giant life sized talking pink panda driving a car or drinking a beer etc. Now dave shows up in the most random of dreams and can be quite a laugh!


Faerie - there are no words to say for the frustration, stress and anger you are feeling right now. We had that last year with OH who had a severely broken arm and they phoned and cancelled every night at 9/10pm for 17 days before they finally did the surgery (and it was severely broken and displaced in three places).
It seems like a totally inconceivable way of managing such an important thing as surgeries - surely they must know the stress they are causing people?!?! The only thing I can say is that it is NOT personal and the only thing that might give you some small comfort is that there must be some desperately poorly person who requires surgery within 24hrs to save their life and your sacrifice makes it possible. I know the NHS is under pressure, but I think I would rather have a date in six months, than be given a date earlier only to have it cancelled at the very last minute. The people in the NHS are (in general and your own experiences excepted of course) pretty wonderful, and it always seems to be the woefully outdated systems and long winded processes and the seemingly poor management and co-ordination that causes so many issues. In the absence of any useful comments to make you feel better, can I wish you a calm and peaceful nights sleep. I hope you have a good nights rest and are able to go out and have an awesome day tomorrow to make up for the stress - day out to the zoo or clothes shopping or whatever is your particular brand of cheery uppy.

And for a little happy news...dear hubby decided to give me my birthday present a few weeks early today - an electric planer (Professional one). Such a big grin on my face as I have wanted one for ages - it will make my woodworking projects so much easier and quicker. Apparently I am the favourite wife at his workplace as all the blokes said they would be very unpopular with their wives if they bought them a professional power tool for birthdays. I am sooo excited. We are having our shed delivered tomorrow, it's been three years in the making and so we...........ok, I.......am very excited as it is going to my "girls man shed" so to speak............ but now I am hoping very much that parts of it are wonky and don't fit perfectly so I can use my new planer! (Otherwsie I have to spend the day dutifully assembling new shed and not playing with new toy!)
