Thank you a laugh is always important

[huggs in reply to Dragongirl21]

Hi Dragongirl,

You are very welcome, and I so much agree with you that humour is important. Sorry I didn't get back to you before, but there seems to be gremlins in the system today.

HI Siobhan,

It sounds like you have read it before, so when it still makes you laugh you know it is a good one. I have posted this on a sister forum and it went down a treat there too.

Glad it cheered you up when you needed a laugh, and you are welcome.

Take care,

Sorry don't find this funny as I have just split with my wife after thirty five years And on top of everything at Xmas to lose her is the last straw ,keep trying anyway as I could do with a good laugh.The carer to me suffer as much as the ones they look after the strain on them although it wasn't the only reason it didn't help I hope other ones who really on carers give them a extra hug they feel it to ,keep trying Huggs can't win them all.

Hi Grumpygrampa,

I am so sorry about your situation, and I would never have posted such a joke if I had known. Really sorry. To split or lose anyone at this time is doubly difficult I know, and you must feel so awful inside. Wish there was something I could do to help and just hope you have some family and friends to lean on for moral support as well as looking after you. I think you are right that the carers go through the mill with us, and does put a strain on the relationship at times. I will need to be more mindful of what I post in future, as you never know who might read it, and is going through a situation and my 'joke ' hurts them.

I didn't take it personal as you are not a mind reader it's just another thing life throws at you I was a lot to blame as I have let pain control me so long.I hope my partner gets some life I just hope people with partners who are also carers just how hard it is for them keep trying as just one time I will laugh thanks Huggs

Hi Grumpygrampa,

I really hope you can find a way to manage your pain more effectively, for your own sake as well as others in your circle. I realise this is no easy task, and if you have had it for so long then it is even harder. I too, am no stranger to pain although the occipital neuralgia and neck problems presently interfering so much in my life has been only gone on for around a year at its present level. I have decided to make a conscious effort by investigating things like meditation and Alexander Techniques and anything else that I can find or someone can suggest. I am on my own so know how difficult it is, but decided that I had to be more pro-active as the waiting time between appointments and procedures is a while when you are in severe pain. Will let you know how I get on. Maybe if you can find a way of somehow being in more control, and your wife sees that happening, then possibly there may be time for talking and seeing what the future holds. Thirty five years is a long time, so I am sure she must have feelings for you, as you do obviously for her.

So tell me, what tickles your humour button. If there is anything specific or general such as pranks or whatever, let me know, and I promise to try and make you laugh out loud. That is my wish for you.

Sorry to say it takes a lot for to make me laugh I don't remind the last time I had a good laugh,just carry on and maybe sometime you might hit the spot. Good luck trying at least most people should laugh you can't always win thanks for thinking anyway good luck with your meditation grumpygrampy.

HI Grumpygrampy,

I know that feeling, when it takes a lot to make you laugh. At the moment, and because it has been going on for so long, and the change in your personal circumstances it is a heck of a lot to cope with, and am wondering if you have talked to your GP about how you really feel, and how it is affecting your life so much.? Anybody, would be depressed under these circumstances, and having had a look at your profile now, I understand your position more. You have had two strokes, so that is another major event, but do not know how much mobility or use of one side of your body you have. I also don't know how recently you have had your strokes, but you probably know that depression is very common after them. I know its hard to summon up the energy from what you have left, but maybe a visit from or to your GP would be a good idea. I know you are on lots of medication, but the pain that seems to affect you most is from a trapped nerve in your lower back. I have had a number of severe bouts of sciatica in my time and have to be very careful now, so know how much nerve pain drains you of everything, or any severe chronic pain. Nerve pain, as I am finding out is hard to manage, and you have tried lots of things.

Have you ever tried or been offered a nerve block, which is not a permanent solution but apparently helps sometimes for several months at a time.

I may have told you, ( also have posted about it) that I am present waiting on this procedure on my neck and the back of my head on Christmas Eve, but have been warned it doesn't always work. It is worth a try though, and others on this forum have assured me it has worked wonders for them and that it has been a godsend. One of them had a nerve block in her back which worked.

Sorry, if you have tried these things, but am just trying to think of something for you to do, as often even taking some action makes us feel more in control.

I haven't done anything about the meditation yet, as I have been in pain since returning from the mainland yesterday and didn't get much sleep last night. It has settled to a more bearable level just now, so here I lie on the couch, doped up a bit, with an ice pack on my head and a hot pack round my neck under my neck collar. What a sight!!! LOL I give myself a fright passing a mirror. ha ha

Going to look for something funny, but this may take a while, so hang on a mo! I will be back.

The last time I saw the surgeon I was offered a operation or a epidural,in the same breath he said talking to you as if you were my dad don't do either as the risk in his mind was to much,the last thing I want is to be paralysed so that hit that on the head.I was also told that the pain could still be there after a operation.I hope you have a good Xmas and keep up the good work to try and bring a smile where there is pain.

Hi Grumpygrampa,

You know what? You might not go for this, but how about changing your user name to something more positive, so that it immediately makes you seem brighter.

If you don't mind I will answer the rest of your post tomorrow as I have had a bit of a day and still having lappy problems.

Surely, I must have raised even a small smile by this time? ........

I do have a cracker of a joke, but it is a bit naughty, although not offensive, but do not want to run the risk of posting it on the forum, and I don't want to offend you, as I really don't know you well enough to know how you will react. It is hilarious, and i know a few people who find themselves weeks later still having a bit of a chuckle when something reminds them of it.

Take care,
