I’m drained and that blinking bus came back twice 😂

66 Replies

hey guys, I hop you are all coping and in a good place, I’m absolutely exhausted and if that blinking bus had stopped I would be ok 😂.

Well some of you know about my daughter G, I will apologise if this offends anyone, and if admin want to take it down, so be it.

So we traveled to hull/ York in Beverly for two day stay, my g is transitioning to be a man, and was having a mastectomy, I kind of coped with the 1st stay, for 2 days, then hospital said we had to find another accommodation for the 3rd day, that wasn’t on the cards, the only place was a house. So my husband had to drive 3 hours to get me home, there was no way I could do stairs, then another 3 hours straight back, my body is absolutely killing me, as I had to sleep on a sofer, what we put ourselves through for our kids.

Tomorrow I know is going to be completely worse, as each day after activities it gets worse 😳. Wishing you all a blessed pain free night and day.

squidges to the know, hugs to the new.

sending some gentle hugs. You will be dealing not only with the physical effort of travelling /staying away from home but also the emotional impact of supporting G through his surgery xxx

in reply to Matrix

bless you hun, my neighbour is going to help me, she’s a cater so she knows how to sit him up, one thing I definitely can’t do, there is prepared meals in the freezer, M will help when he is home, but I know the in between bits is going to be hard for me, but I will use my chair, as I can’t afford anymore falls, and try and pace it out.

We will all pull together, my neighbour helps me to, she’s so kind, so I’m 🙏 for me to get through it. Don’t worry, I will be careful, and Jay knows my limits.

Thank you for caring hun. Luv and healing hugs. ❤️🥰🤗🤗

in reply to Matrix

thank you sweetie, I promise not to do stuff, I know I can’t, I know I want to push it, but even J, is saying I need you to cope, so don’t feel you have to do anything you can’t cope with, so I’m being good, truly I have no choice, and I’m one armed anyway 🤪.

Love ya too sweetie.

well we are all going the same way 😂🤣 I’m struggling badly with dizziness at the moment ,it’s quite scary at times .💕💕

in reply to Matrix

😂😂. Be careful with the dizziness, have you been checked for CFS. Hun I’ve got haematoma on my forehead fractured cheek and jaw, fractured and shattered elbow, with a plate, so please, please get checked out for CFS.

The CFS causes bad dizziness and falls, your brain just doesn’t cope, then comes the muscle waste yuck, it’s no fun 🥰❤️

Darling I have been diagnosed with it since I was twenty ,you Are you talking about Chronic fatigue syndrome .I fell recently my face was a mess hurt hand knee .We are a mess I’m thinking 🤣 I think you are in a worse position than i because I’m able to walk but I have got scared about falling .🥰🥰

in reply to Matrix

yes chronic fatigue syndrome, bless, I didn’t have it that early 😳. We are a mess, so sorry you had a fall, and hurt your face ,knee and hard, it does get scary. I recently had a pain psychologist help me to try and trick my brain, it’s a bit like CBT, but basically you keep telling yourself I’m not dizzy, my eyes are focused and I can deal with light, you have to do it over and over, once you get the knack, it takes the edge off it, and the moment you feel it returning, you do the same again. I think I’m worse off as I don’t have carpet, ceramic tiles everywhere, and it always seems to be the hallway, that I kiss the floor 😂.. 🥰🥰

Wish there were more parents like you then I wouldn't have to have fostered so many for so long. Bless you all. The three "L"s live, laugh and love vital for survival in this mad world.

exactly how a parent should be with their children adult or otherwise 👍it makes me so sad when they turn their backs on the very ones they should be supporting and love ❤️ They have a hard enough time feeling they aren’t themselves and other worries that people don’t have to deal with. You are a refreshing change 😁and I wish you all the very best. Happiness and contentment for the future 🤗❤️X

in reply to Cotswolds25121

I totally agree, the stress and mental illness they go through is bad enough, I picked up on it from an early age, but I had to let him find his self being, and he did, and we support him all the way.

It would be lovely if every parent could be the same, but they run from the unknown, and they are scared or disgusted, I think I’ve got to know every gender name 😂, over the years with his friends. .

You sound very open minded to, and I find that very refreshing to, it’s lovely to hear this, and caring.

Thank you Hun. ❤️🤗 xx

cannot understand parents like that - you should love your child unconditionally no matter what xxx

in reply to Hazel_Angelstar

I know hun, but some are scared, there’s all sorts of reasons, but for the ones like us, we can help and encourage and nurture them, into what they want to be.. it’s such a shame this world isn’t more empathetic, - sympathetic to the needs and understanding of how people just need to exist.

It breaks my heart, for the ones I’m helping. Xx

yes, people just need to accept people as people, not sexuality /gender etc

A friend has a wee one, who since he was a toddler has loved to dress up as Disney princesses, he's 5 now and loves to wear dresses.... and it's lovely to see him being allowed to express himself so freely by both parents and his big brother xxxx

in reply to Hazel_Angelstar

I agree.

Aww bless him, it’s beautiful that he can express himself, so freely. I think that’s so sweet xxx

you wouldn’t think in 2022 that this would still be happening ,these children know themselves from a very young age that they are in the wrong bodies,so let’s be kind to them as it’s so stressful for them .🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰💕

in reply to Matrix

exactly hun, shame the government don’t get onboard, so many avenues they have blocked or trying to block. 🙏🥰

in reply to Dinkie

hun, I meant to mention about you fostering, sorry I was so tired, without peeps like you, some of the kids don’t stand a chance, but amazing people like you, give them the gift of life to make something of themselves, so bless you for your kindness and ability to help these blessed children.

I hope you are coping, how are things now, silly question, but I hope you have been able to grieve and get some relief.

Bless you Blue. Fostering was great, the children were wonderful the parents on the whole very grateful but goodness some of the social workers were hard work. I know they are stressed and overworked but sometimes they were far removed from the real world. I was relieved to retire from it all.

It's been 16 months and I'm sort of into a routine now. I still miss him every day but the garden and the dogs keep me busy on the days I don't work. Life is different but I'm not the first and I won't be the last to lose a partner of a lifetime. Today would have been our wedding anniversary. Thank you for asking.

in reply to Dinkie

well at the end of the day you brought some special kids into this world, bless you for that, hard graff.

D you are so strong, I don’t know how you manage to keep your chin up,

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY sweetie ❤️Keep on doing what you are doing, you are a brave worrier. X
