Hi guys,
Thank you for your well wishes, they mean allot x
Update
I am just waiting for my discharge papers.!!! Hoping it will be quicker than in Tuesday when it took 7 hours!!
The pain is much better and the swelling has gone down loads thank goodness. But it does soar that as well as upsetting a nerve in my lip and lower part of my jaw, it has 'jangled' the trigeminal nerve. I could cry, I experienced tregeminal neuraglia last year for 3 months and it was horrific pain in my face for 3 months.
They said like the numbness, it could settle in a few weeks. So I have everything crossed 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
That it does.
My DH had rung and Cancelled my work for tomorrow, I think I will give myself another whole week and then maybe work on a Sunday to try and catch up!

I’m glad you are giving yourself at least a week to recover. Hoping the tregeminal nerve calms down soon … 🤞

It's funny you gestational eldest are autistic (DH is too, diagnosed by me!!)
, the eldest has text me everyday to ahh how I was and when I came home on Tuesday he was in and checking up on me, too much. Dd never came in. So it can't just be about the autism, although I know every child is different, but her reaction this week has really hurt me and I've been really shocked. They were all bought up the same!!!♥️ ♥️ ♥️🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸Decluttering 2025 So far 403 / 2025

I think, maybe, when you are better, you need to have a little chat with DD about how she comes across ….?

Time to heal first before money. All those pots are there for times like this, be gentle on yourself.
I have children who also aren't very empathetic to me too. But this is because their father has brainwashed them all into saying I am a hypochondriac every time I am sick - the only one who's seen through this so far is DS1 because he was 14 when I had sepsis and exh didn't even bother to come home when I was VERY sick in hospital and nearly didn't pull through.......the other two were too small to remember that. ExH said I was being a hypochondriac as usual and carried on with his skiing holiday
I sympathise fully but have no suggestions -aside from focus on you and take the sympathy's and love where you can find them! Even if it is on the net rather than in your own home xx0 -
Thanks DFW,Last night in my own bed was bliss and I slept from 10.30 till 5, so good! Not quite so good after that with sorting out the dog and finding pain relief to work.Ive had a very quiet in bed kinda of day, did manage to do a tesco order which is coming tomorrow,and blast ive just realised, I havent cancelled my work for tomorrow, and its too late now. oops! I was putting it off earlier as I didnt want to talk because 1) im tired and 2.) it hurts when i talk! Oh well i will do that in the morning. Also made the tomato sauce for tea, but realised standing up was more tiring than i thought and got DD to finish hers and then DH to make ours when he finished work.Still cant beleive how much this has taken out of me, I long as I make progress each day, thats all that counts really, slow and steady they say.Hoping tomorrow I can meditate, even that has been beyond me x♥️ ♥️ ♥️🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸Decluttering 2025 So far 403 / 2025
