not wanting to move...dont want the pain.

[carollynn]

morning,

its been a while. my husband at the min is deployed in afghanistan and since he went ive had one thing after another to make me struggle.

1st i had a huge fall, my leg was black from half way up my thigh to my toes and swollen twice its size. i went to my dr who just said ok its not broken. i think i knew that myself lol, but after a week i was in agony. i still went to work, another few days went by until i could not cope with the pain. went to hosp and they said i have a huge bone infection. i didnt even know u could get bone infections. it took another 2 weeks to heal after i was given a huge supply of antibiotics.

then i got flu and a terrible caugh..which took me 7 weeks to get rid of..

the latest thing, almost 2 weeks ago i was lifting at work and my back went. now im using a walking stick..as the pain is unreal..

gonna go to see my physio this week i think... whats it gonna b next.

since i last was on here iv been told i have sleep apthnea and stop breathing 15 times an hour at night. that is so scarey when on your own.

the good news is i have managed to reduce my pain killers after seeing a pain management specialist. i do actually feel better for it.

cant wait for my hubby to come home..

well i have to try and get up in a min. start the pain process as at work in an hour..

thats the moaning over. thank god i hear you say. lol.

Poor old you, carollyn!

You've been through the mill by the sound of it. - I hope they manage to get your sleep apnoea sorted soon, 'cos that makes you feel so exhausted.

When does your husband get home from Afghanistan? i should think the worry of having him in that terrible place can't be doing you any good.

Hope you feel better soon.

Love Moffy x

Hi Carollynn

No need to worry about moaning. That's what we are her for. I am so sorry you are having a bad time and like Moffy said the worry of hubby being around can't be helping.

I am not surprised you are so down, after the awful bone infection you were no doubt very low which is probably why the flu go you.

Have you seen anyone about the sleep apnea? That can make you very tired because of the interrupted sleep. There are things they can do to help.

Have you checked out our website? It is full of interesting and helpful information that may help you realise you are not alone.

thank u for that...nice of you.

yes im being monitored. have a machine but i find that hard to use as i panic if i wake up with it on. but thats the point of it..

i agree thats prob y i got the flu even though i had the jab for it..

i do worry with my hubby being away. its so dangerous there.

he is home in 2 months tho..light at the end of tunnel.

thank you for all kind thoughts.xx
