Need a hand hold -Part 3

PS I will brush my teeth after the mince pie!
And I won’t forget my wheels!

Morning spoonies! Lying in bed just had a cuppa and a mince pie. Please do not judge.
I am at the dentist at 9 am for a root canal on a big back tooth.
This in no way compares to what our @Imbluedalale is going through.
Hoping this might make you laugh today. I have a severe dental phobia. I now have a lovely dentist bless him he does his best.
I have had EMDR treatment which involves me tapping on my legs to calm the panic.
Also have some mobility issues, and can’t do bright lights. (I sound like a drama queen but there are valid reasons 😂)
Last time I went my other half forgot my wheelchair. After carrying me in there they put me on a leather couch. Very posh dentist. I’m in a knackered trackie. And huge sunglasses. Other patients are looking.
Other half tells a dental nurse he’s forgotten my wheels, so she offers us an office chair. On wheels.
So for the next half an hour I’m going between the dentist chair and x Ray on a pink office chair, sunglasses hanging off.
It was a tough job.
There I was lying in the chair, headphones on tuned into an episode of Eastenders, tapping away whilst repeating ‘I am in my safe space’ with water spraying over my sunglasses.
The lesson? Never fear public shame, embarrassment and humiliation 😂
And at the end I got wheeled into the street on that office chair.
Still in my 🕶️
(Today I’m going to repeat ‘the spoonies are with me’ and my lovely dentist won’t even ask!)

Everything is about them clearly 😂
I'm sure medical science has only started using the female body/skeleton in our lifetime. They used the average white male so if that's not you then how do you know any treatment is suitable. Drug testing is similar. Most things in society are designed for the average white man.

@Imbluedalale thanks that's the 2nd time magnesium has been mentioned recently. I was using Boots peri multi vitamins and Marine collagen as my hair and nails started coming apart!
It's natural to be worried. You have done it before and you will again but with so much more support. Those scars will become signs of strength of all the things your body has endured and has come through to get you well. His words will be a far off memory xx

Good morning Spoonies and @Imbluedalale. I was also awake at 4am again. I guess the joys of peri! It came at me full force this year 😂
I'm impressed by your attitude and resilience to everything but especially after yesterday.
2024 hasn't been a great year all round for so many reasons in life and the world in general. I'm aiming for a calmer year but we shall see!
I'm taking my time getting out of bed. I finished up my book there so I love having lots to chose from on my bookshelf for my next read.
Chicken sounds good. That's one curry I don't think I've made. I've woken peckish this morning!
Here's to a good Friday Spoonies xx

Hugs from me Laura @Imbluedalale . Sorry to hear it wasn’t great news but so good they’ve caught it and can do something about it. I understand the desire to have a break from hospitals and appointments though. I know it’s been so busy but try to rest as much as you can, help your body fight back.
Don't worry about the fine/Head. That would be so utterly ridiculous I cannot imagine it would happen. I suspect Head will see sense and you’ll get a letter that says say no fine this time, using my discretion, but next time won’t be able to etc. If they try to fine you, I’ll happily take it up with them on your behalf - you don’t need that nonsense right now!

I’m so sorry to hear that news Laura. Sending you buckets of love and support and a massive hug. I’m so glad you have your mum and dad and sister in your corner now, that’s huge compared to where you were 6 months ago. They will help you get through it. And all of us from afar.

It’s so clear from all your posts what a lovely caring thoughtful person you are, and how lucky anyone would be to be your friend.

Thats so lovely that you can just be 100% honest. Hilarious that he went to school and revealed all. I wouldn’t have been annoyed if I was another parents, it’s just one of those things. You never know how long your child will believe for. One of DS’s friends told him he’d found all his little teeth in his mums desk so the tooth fairy didn’t exist and I think they worked out from there that Father Christmas was probably fake too.

I’m so sorry that it wasn’t good news at the hospital @Imbluedalale . Bloody hell, the universe needs to give you a break at this point! Sending a big hug. I’m glad your parents and sister are there for you and you have all of us behind you.

Also think it’s crazy that you could get fined. I think the head will surely waive it. Sorry to hear also that you didn’t have a very good chat with him due to dickhead ex.

@Imbluedalale
A hug for you lovely xx

I'm so sorry for your bad news today. I keep up with your thread every single day and check to see how you are; one of the more invisible Spoonies in the background. I am thinking of you in your Winnie the Pooh dressing gown, and remember what Pooh had to say: "You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." All the very best to you, Laura.

Sorry for being absent and not being as active in replying as what most of you are, I do read as frequently as I can but it’s been harder whilst I was on holiday

i’m so sorry for the not so good news today. I reiterate what others have said, it’s different for you this time as you’ve got an army of spoons scooping you up and getting you through xxx
