Army Garrison 2nd week February..“You’re on your own time now”

[JackieClaire]

Evening,
Ahh your poor Mammy, Satz. A wee rant here.............about time some doctors realised the people are living longer and aren't willing to fade away. Most are busy people with enjoyable lives...........have you got photos of the detached head?

[sunbird2]

Hello again,

Just had a good read back. Botox ....bladder....WHY? I'm so sorry Satz, this feeling of needing to wee all night because bladder control has bee removed must be so uncomfortable for your Mum.

[JackieClaire]

Botox can be used for loads of things these days..........not just fat pillow lips.........have a google.

Hi and Bye Molls.............I'm off to the land of TV.

Chris just introduced me to shirts on netflix....very good!

I know Botox well, and it does have its place in many treatment regimes. However, it can have quite severe side effects, and age should be taken into consideration when exploring the various treatment options.

It is the drug of choice for Cervical Dystonia, so Tony had to go through many huge injections of it into the muscles at the base of his skull and neck, under radiographic imagery...we are not talking the miniscule amounts used for wrinkles! He had to go through all sorts of paperwork each time for approval to be given for the injections, and of course, for medical aid approval. It unfortunately did not ever work on him, though.

Evening all,

Hope you got somewhere with your mams doctor Satz.

Sunny, a Netflix virgin, lucky you!
An identical sister! mad and brilliant! Do you see much of your sisters?

[IamMary]

How did the clan cope in your absence Molly?

Morning guys

Satzy I am so sorry about your mum. Age really is a bugger. Things seem to just keep happening and it can be so stressful. When I was looking after my mum it seemed to be one thing after another that went wrong. She hated getting old. I hated her getting old too not least for the fact that it seemed all wrong that I should look after her when it was supposed to be my mum looking after me. Role reversals are hard to cope with.

Hope all are well this hump day morning. I am psyching myself up for a run. Wish me luck

I got my promotion and a nice salary bump to go with it. Very chuffed and grateful. The co director seems to think highly of me as does my boss so that has given me a big boost. My job role won't change too much it is more the recognition which is great. I have 2 people working for me now and hopefully they will continue to perform well.

Chill and I are going to The Best You Expo in London on the 28/02. There is a speaker there from a company called Sober Services who we want to see. His book can be downloaded free here if anyone is interested
It's Not About Me - the Book by Ian Young of Sober Services | Sober Services

Well done Starts :welldone:

[satz123]

has the doctor said why it's got worse? surely they have to prioritise her now? poor soul - time to re-rattle their cages

I don't know Molls and her own doctor doesn't know - she is just worn out.
I worry more about her mental health now - she's not eating and very down at times - but I think that is down to tiredness.

On the bright side she rang to report she only pee'd 5 times last night :welldone:

[starty]

Thanks for the congrats guys. Much appreciated

Satz your poor mum. Do you think she might just be giving up? Its hard I think my mum did and just decided enough was enough

[JackieClaire]

Evening.
