update

sabbatical is sort of on hold at the moment. my sis and i have been delving deeper into service provision and needed services for my mum and brother. today we got some clear info from my provider, even though my worker is in the gamblers help dept, it is a massive services charity that is all inclusive; housing, disabilities, etc. my sis has nominated for some counselling, and has been offered financial counselling; we might be able to get mum a wheel chair, or be referred to further supports. my sis is at cracking point, physically and emotionally, thus i advocated strongly that we tackle mums housing issue with ferver. we have been advised that we have ticked all of the boxes and done immense work. we are getting closer to our goals, however mum is declining and not trying. aged care have been notified, but stacks of red tape.

after this appt i was off to see my endocrinologist, but my ph had a message, he did a runner last friday and is off to private practice. left me in the lurch as i need him to obtain my authority script for my axiron. got an appt with a doc tomorrow. they got me file and stuff, so i sort have to go, as i need stuff. and my results. i am a tad jacked off. endo's rarely bulk bill here, and he did at the clinic.

i am walking more, but have had some very depressed moments. i was feeding off my sis depression, as well as my own. having 3 members depart in succession has been difficult. enough said. thx for caring. not much sleep happening. my sis thanked me today. they will be in contact with her for counselling and support. be good.

could be a new doc, if taken on. check them out i will. thx for the positives mate.

thx guys. turns out the dr. i seen was relatively new to our clinic. he said they are trying to recruit another endo. he understood my grievance of non reciprocation via the former endo, more so he totally understood my need to change from my old gp. it seems he is taking me on. he has put me on a new injection, a insulin type hunger suppressant thingy which is new. his understanding of diabetes was really good, and he is in the throws of becoming an endo one day. i see him again in a month. some positive karma. not much was said, but there was a definite connection and geniuness. my kidneys are spot on, and no more protein, trigs up, cholesterol good and bad, hdl /ldl good. bp was okay. it felt good to be at ease and not to have to beg to find a doc. he is young, he said i am still young, i nearly wet myself!!! i said your younger than me, he said yes, but your still young. he seems far more proactive.

finding more bits and pieces to help mum and other bro out. sis and i need to get this sorted before we take back our lives. too many variables, thus we are at it. i did chill in the libray today. i was going to apply for a new card, my last is inactive, but i had no photo id, did not feel like carrying the passport. got to make an appt for me eye doc, been awhile, this doc said i should follow up. and i will.

thx for listening and caring.

i have you guys......my shrink when required. got the pharmacist, and the staff to drive nuts and make them laugh. i walked in and had my head phones on, i was boppin' to some tunes that make ya bop, music was freestyler by bombfunk mc's, not my style, but dig the track. head and shoulders were going, julie is laughing, jarrod the pharmacist smiled, they know when the turtle is in da house!!!! my sister refuses to travel with me on public transport!!!!!!!!! hey cass, good 2 see ya post.

Keep walking Jamie, it helps. I had lost eight pounds and recently gained it back. Bummer...

Walking is the key...

Hugs, Karen...

Too cold to walk here but miss it dearly...try to do an exercise video on my lunch hr behind closed doors but it cuts out and it is annoying.
Other times I just feel too tired or feel like exercise is punishment when I am so overwhelmed with work....

Awesome Jamie... You are getting lots done. Wish I could...

Hugs, Karen...

I feel as if I have fallen down on my job now Lynnwood. I have tried to reason with both issues, deleted some posts. I told the members to email each other. I feel I have been very tolerant on both issues. But hope not to be so much so that people are getting away with murder if you know what I mean. It is a fine line.

It is hard being a moderator. We have our own diagnosis's and issues just like everyone else.

We have a drive to want to keep the peace and calm so all benefit from the forum.

Acceptance of everything is hard, no being able to please everyone is one of the hardest. However, we stand in great company, many great people in history have done wonderful things for humanity and have not pleased everyone. Just not possible.

So we hold on the truth of 'us' who we are as an individual, use our skills and forge ahead the best we can.

Karen you have not fallen down on your job. It is not a job. It is a volunteer offering, that hopefully most times is a gift that helps you.

Just today I deleted 5 posts from someone new on migraine that was absolutely bashing moderators. I did not take a chance to find out what the issue was this time. The posts were to aggressive. Another mod had already delt with this person apparantly.

So, easy does it all. this rough batch with smooth out soon.

Peace
