As the thread title really. Bit of background info so as not to drip feed. Had various mild but reoccurring health issues for a few years after dd was born. Various periods of time off work for lots of viruses, tonsillitis, pneumonia. Add in a thyroid cancer scare, bit if depression and anxiety.
Eventually found out that vitamin D levels were very, very low. Started treatment in the spring if last year and my health has steadily got better. All fabulous. DH has shouldered a lot of the strain in the past few years.
We have also lost my dad 2 years ago. The MIL was told that the breast cancer had returned. We knew it was not survivable. We made the best of it but she sadly passed away at Christmas.
So fast forward to now. I have been recovering from a herniated disc in my neck and trapped nerve. 7 weeks ago. Initial injury has settled well but nerve is bruised which causes quite a bit of pain. Still on strong meds which can make me pretty tired in the afternoons especially.
Went back to work 2 weeks ago on phased return. Am leaving in 2 weeks anyway to have more time at home with the dc.
So why the long, rambling post? Well today its just all a bit too much. I feel so flipping old. I'm 41 yet have aches and pains. I've been finding it hard to get down on the floor to play with the dc. I know it sounds silly, but I just feel bloody old and tired. I'm off to the GP on Monday for a review and having weekly physio. I know things will get better just flipping frustrated.
And to top it off, I'm lying in bed "resting" and the lad next door has just started his violin practise.
So anyone know any good jokes to cheer up this weary, long time mnetter?
Cheers for reading.
