Is it lunch time yet?

Hi Cupid is the no assistance on hand at the pool, I have difficulty getting out of the pool because there are steps in the form of a ladder and because of my knees I have a problem pushing up because of the hight of them so hubby has to get out first and give me a pull. But there is a hoist they could use for me if I wanted but I have declined the offer up until now. Is there nothing like that on offer. Has the life guard on duty they might have something put away somewhere out of site. :)
 
You can get fage in asda and tescos hun and orobs other supermarkets too it's a no fat yoghurt packed with protein with the added protein powder should give u a massive boost x x
 
Enjoy your day of rest hunni.... try and get some much needed you time.... do something you love or visit someone who inspires you....go to your fav place or eat your fav thing...... what ever you do enjoy it :) fage is yum..... i had it early on to help with protein (dreamer recommended it) ohh so they now do a flavoured one yummy....sounds delish :)

no lifeguard hun I just literally roll myself out. My friend is wanting me to join a gym that has a full size swimming pool but I couldn't get out of that at all because it's deeper and 7 miles away so 4 buses to get there and back. I love swimming and gonna be so upset if I can't go.
 
Well my eldest went to the doctors this evening and begged for their help. I was there too. After an hour of my lad crying and going through everything he was feeling and what he had put me through the doctor said he would get him assessed by the mental health team if that's what he wanted. In full agreement he told us to go to A&E and he would sort the rest. We got to A&E but the staff told us the doctor hadn't rung through so he had to see a nurse. An hour and half later she called us and by now he was getting really agitated but she said a doctor and your next on the list will see you first then he will ring mental health team from then on they would see to him after 4 hours waiting for the doctor and a total of 5 and half hours we asked why other people were being seen first. Told to be quiet and there is now another 4 hours wait but mental health team are in leeds so won't be here until morning so you may as well come back tomorrow to be seen but we don't have an appointment system so it's a wait and see.
It's taken me months to persuade him and a lot of begging to get desperately needed help and they do this. He walked the 6miles home because he couldn't keep calm enough for him to be able to talk to me and refused point blank to get in the car when he was so angry. So not happy with these idiots now. I'm at pre assessment in the morning 60 miles away so he now refuses to ask for help again. By the time they sort their act out it could be too late. Only thing they can suggest is to have him in a holding cell at the police station so he doesn't attempt anything :(
 
hmmmm not much i can say but no surprise really....mental health teams seem to be so understaffed .........i gave up asking for help .......seems you have to be going to do something seriously bad or dangerous to get heard these days..... i'm afraid most of the time its too little too late....... persevere hunni on his behalf, seems he wants to be helped which is a huge step...... is there no drug/drink rehabilitation place your way..... we have a wonderful place (my neighbour worked there) it was a house where residents could go..... it was live in with all the emotional/mental help they needed and was pretty quick with their support too..... don't give up .......he is understandably angry after holding out his hand for help only to be turned away :( stick with it x x x x hugs as always

I will stick with it hun coz he really does want help. The only drug rehab is run by one of our own doctors ( the same one that claimed his mental state was down to drug abuse until the specialist told us different) and only takes in under 25s because of government funding. I understand nhs is stretched to the max but there really is no need to have to keep repeating the same things from doctor to nurse to doctor to relief team to doctor and then wait again to repeat it all again to a team that can't be bothered to turn up anyway :(
 
I know what its like hun :( i was pushed from pillar to post when in need eventually got a referral to mind.....had an assessment, heard nothing ............ hub went back to enquire... file lost!!! 2nd assessment ...lots of good info and advise offered said they would be in touch, in the meantime they would send me some info via post........ never hear another thing!!! i gave up frankly when your in that unfortunate place and are unable to claw yourself out of your predicament and every cry for help is ignored its no fun.... i decided that day i would have to do it myself....fortunately i was strong enough to get myself out the other side.... but i feel for those who are at that point in life where the alternative is to do themselves harm. I hope it all works out for you and him sweetheart, for every ones peace of mind :) especially if its ripping the family apart . Hope today has been more fruitful for help..... once your in the loop it should be plain sailing its getting the help in the first place is the difficult bit.... hang in there x x x and please don't let your health go downwards either hunni..... your be in no fit state to help anyone if you don't look after yourself too x x x x x
 
Rang docs 3 times today and still no wiser its blame game instead of results. Even asked the doctor if he had ever listened to his child sobbing because he doesn't want to live anymore and he turned round and said no but I've watched women give birth in a paddy field then start working within the hour...really wth? My son has decided today not to speak to me or answer texts.

Ok so hospital with my team today. Thought it was just a pre op but clearly not. Alls well except the stupid nurse that after telling her use the right side for bloods decides she would play kerplunk with my left arm first because she could feel a generous one...FML woman it's now swollen and annoying to say the least but right arm first time where I showed her. Surgeon came into see me saying he had the scan report so will be placing me on the shortest list and this time will be prepared for the anaesthetic reaction. Sounds good to me. :)

Gonna be busy this weekend as its my daughters birthday and is celebrating in York with a shopping day....the mother is to be left at home making shepherds pie and yorkys for Sunday lunch. May even bake a cake. :) have a fab weekend all. Xxxxxx
 
What with one thing and another you deserve a good weekend if nothing else, just make sure you are looking after yourself well.

Take Care xxxx
 
Getting that intake up will make you feel so much more energised and more prepared for what this world is chucking at you right now
