Hey @Former-Member

Me too, me too ❣

Sounds great @artee - I understand how mentally and emotionally invasive his behaviour is over you.  Hopefully just having your own place and friendly new neighbours who include him in social activities will break it up for you a lot more.

Make sure you're taking care of you ....

Hi @Shaz51

How are you managing with your hubby ....

And is there any improvement of your kidney infection on the new meds ?  And the sciatica ?

[Shaz51]

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope

I am getting there , sciatica is playing up , have to find some tips to help it

having an xray next week

Hubby is ok , he wants to go back to the mental health doctor to talk about his meds -- but we are not having much luck ,

no-one wants know and help him --- soooo annoying argggg

[Faith-and-Hope]

You are having a rough time of it @Shaz51 ❣

I hope you get to rest a little over the weekend.

Big hugs ❤️

Thanks @Shaz51

My younger son S2 turns 21 tomorrow, so we are going out for dinner tomorrow night, but it will just be us, and quite quiet.  He has a party with friends and family in a couple of weeks time to celebrate in a noisy way ....

[Shaz51]

wow 21, they are all growing up @Faith-and-Hope xxx

I remember being involved in seeing all  my four stepchildren turning 21 , it was wonderful

@Shaz51 That will be the cold weather affecting your sciatica? I suffer too. Today, from driving yesterday in the ridiculous traffic that is now Brisbane. I have so much trouble driving a manual. We have one to tow the caravan, so it's a big 4wd too with a hard clutch. What do you do to ease it? I find a hot water bottle on my lower back greatly eases the pain, and 'Pain Away' cream helps.

[Shaz51]

Ohhh @artee, you have sciatica tooo

sending you hugs

thank you for the advice @artee , I find if i do too much  or stand around too long that it hurts the most

'Pain Away' cream may be helpful as i was using osteo cream but i don`t really think it help too much

@Shaz51, Everyone's different of cause but I found daily tumeric (with splash of black pepper) and 3g omega3 help. Sciatica is painful but temporary (comes & goes). I gave 4 bulging discs lower back, scoliosis & prolific OA. Ageing is not for the faint hearted. Heat packs are good. Maybe teach the hubby to give you massages.

Hi Artee, F&H & everyone. Hope your day is as good as mind weatherwise today 🙂

[Shaz51]

Thank you @Former-Member

can I ask how old you are xx

What are you having to drink , I like something but not sure what i want
