Totally. I always have to sleep in the afternoons to try to compensate for very little night sleep. If I donโ€™t, I just end up in migraine mode. I think life would be much easier if I could get a full 8 hours, but 3 is usually the most in a row โ˜น๏ธ. Sorry you know this well too

Oh no that sounds horrible. Iโ€™m so sorry. Hope the side effects will calm down. Quinn is ok, on pain meds now and losing weight still but purring and having cuddles at times so I think we have a little longer with him. Thanks for asking xx

Oh so much. Someone who never gives up on a patient, now that would be a novelty. Plus staring into those eyes would be very therapeutic ๐Ÿ˜‚

Just started season 5 with the very sad beginning. The Covid episodes in season 4 were very upsetting and Iโ€™m glad they moved on to other things quite fast. Iโ€™m gonna be lost when itโ€™s finished. Itโ€™s also making me sad about how shit real life doctors are, Iโ€™m sure youโ€™re the same xx

Yup. I do a lot of stuff alone but things like this, itโ€™s nicer to have some support ๐Ÿ˜ข

No worries. My youngest said sheโ€™d come with me but then went off out with friends and hasnโ€™t even asked me how it went!

Great line, totally agree. I was scared of being on my own but actually it was way way easier in the end. Give me cats for company any day instead

Neck MRI scan done this afternoon, hospital is working til 8pm at weekends to catch up scans. Just hope it shows what the hell is going on. Was also able to talk to a very nervous patient dreading her first MRI and calm her down. And then pumpkin Starbucks reward ๐ŸŽƒ

My counsellor once told me to mute peopleโ€™s voices and just watch their actions. One of the wisest pieces of advice I ever got. Itโ€™s easy to come up with promises and empty words, but when itโ€™s not matched by the right actions, you can see straight through the lies

You got this, right now it might seem insurmountable but in time youโ€™ll look back and realise you made a good decision to get back much needed peace and calm in your life. Iโ€™ve been single now for 12 years and frankly itโ€™s way easier, especially with the illness issues

So sorry you had to give up your car. If I could just run the lottery, Iโ€™d buy you one lovely xx

Hate clock change. Good plan to start slowly moving things. Pain meds is always a tough one for me

Sorry to hear this. My youngest daughter has SAD. She doesnโ€™t find the lights very helpful either. Itโ€™s always a really tough time for her too. Sending gentle hugs xx

So glad youโ€™re reunited and hope thereโ€™s no side effects for you from the jabs xxx
