I have floorboards throughout the house but rugs in most rooms too @Faith-and-Hope. It is more a matter of getting around all the things stacked in each room. I would love to have the garage fixed so I could stack some of the things in there - but I can't do anymore until the roof is finished and my back is a little better. I am not sure when the roof will be done - my sister's partner is doing it when he can but it is dependant on both the weather and when he is not working.

Hey @Zoe7 hope you are okay today. Take care of yourself.

Morning @Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope 

[Zoe7]

Hi @MDT I like having you popin to this thread - gives me a smile everyth=ime I see you here - think it is because I know how hard you are trying to look after yourself and you are taking amazing steps forward in doing so 

I have a gp appointment today but should be simply a check-in and a new script for pain meds - I only get a weeks worth at a time!

I hope your day is a good one @MDT

Morning @Snowie - so good to see you here Hon 

[Snowie]

@Zoe7missed you and others hun but just needed timeout. Lots has happened the last few days and hard to process it all.

How are you going?

[Zoe7]

I know that feeling @Snowie. I miss you when you are not here but I totally get it too - I occasionally need time out as well - it can get too overwhelming being on here - soooo get that  I had 2 days away and although I missed everyone I really needed it to avoid triggers ...was in a place where every little thing was getting to me especially after a very intense DBT and then pdoc sessions. I presume you still have no news Hon - and that sucks sooo much 

My back is still very sore - I start hydrotherapy next week so it is likely to get worse before it starts feeling better - also worried about how much I will be physically able to do but the physio I saw was really lovely and she has said that I can do as little or as much as I can handle and build up from there.

[Snowie]

@Zoe7got word this morning finally. Going in tomorrow.

Hopefully hydrotherapy will help with your back. Yes better to work at your pace and I am glad the physio has said that. She seems nice.

[Zoe7]

She was really nice @Snowie - I felt at ease with her straight away - I really have got lucky with all the health care people I am seeing  I start on Tuesday - will actually be nice to get back in the water and it will just be her and I - not in a group - with an individusl program catering for just me - then I can do it on my own or keep going with her for a few sessions. Knowing how my memory is lately it will probably take me a few session to get the hang of it anyway.

So pleased you have finally got a place and you go in tomorrow - you really need it Hon 

Sending you lots of hugs and love - just so you know how much you mean to me and others here
