Hey hon, around if you need a chat @outlander 

[outlander]

Thanks @Snowie just really tired today. Had a big few medical work and pain days so home after work just watching a novie. Prob be asleep early tonight after some pain medications. It’s been really cold here the last few days so it’s affecting the body regulation issues I have and my pain levels.

[Snowie]

Early night sounds good @outlander 

It is hard when it is cold. I know my arthritis plays up more when it is cold.

I hope you are able to control your pain with meds. Do you find heat packs help at all?

Have you got much on this week?

[outlander]

heat packs do help @Snowie sometimes i feel like i need a whole body heat pack! but mostly it helps with the neck pain like today.

i have a big week at work because its audit week so these weeks are always busy for the company making sure everything is up to standards as well as performing normal duties for clients etc and i have my psychologist and another appt with my new specialist on friday so im sure itll go quite quickly in some ways.
i told my pop i would go and play bingo tomorrow at the home for his first session

[Snowie]

Hopefully the heat packs continue to help @outlander 

Does sound like you have a busy week at work coming up. I hope it all goes smoothly for you.

That nice of you to go play bingo with your Pop. I'm sure he will appreciate it. It's always a bit nerve-racking that first time.

thanks @Snowie

do you have many plans this week

[Snowie]

I have psych appt, ECT and dentist appt. @outlander They are spread out on different days so shouldn't feel too much.

ECT on Wed will take up most of the day. Hubby will have to take time of work too to take me.

[outlander]

thats still alot of appts @Snowie but at least they are spread out so not as exhausting as having them all on the same day.
hopefully you can get some rest after ect though. i imagine that would be quite draining
