Hi @Former-Member @Maggie @outlander @BPDSurvivor
I had an excellent session with the new psychologist - it went really well and she can see that I am resilient and will write a report for the new pain specialist for me next week
Yes - I was a bit tense before I went in - I soon relaxed though and felt comfortable explaining what took place at the public pain clinic - it was a relief to share this with someone face to face too - and all the support I have had here has been the best - we do need to see the person we are talking too sometimes.
Yes - I did enjoy the cup - and you're right Sherry - I didn't win anything this year but I had a horse running fourth for a while - I don't think that's the point though - it's being part of the whole deal
And Outlander - I thought one of the horses didn't look up to form either - I do know horse but not as well as you do - I used to ride - not for a long time - you have your eyes on horses though so you would know. Maybe the horse just thought it needed a sickie or maybe it was overcome by all the noise and hoohaa - I would be - and the horses have to do as they are told -
The weather is chilly here today but not raining yet - it looks as if it will and I just remembered that I have a load in the washing machine to hang out - I washed it earlier - that has to be my next task
While I'm writing here - I'm sorry you are taking time out @BlueBay but you have to do what is right for you - I am missing you already - take it easy and come back when you are ready - I take time out here and there and don't feel the need to say anything sometimes but you do have so much happening right now. Take your time
And - I am waiting for my new phone to turn up - it's in transit and due sometime today - they haven't left a card saying I wasn't here when they turned up - it must be still coming. Let's hope they get here before the shops shut
It's been a good day for me so far - it was such a relief to talk to the psychologist - changing specialists is stressful - we all know that

Good to hear your appointment went so wellmy second mum @Owlunar
sorry for replying late
how are you this weekend xx
it is hot up here , but we did finally mow and cleaned up our lawn this afternoon
@Owlunar, the fires are very bad so far this year. Try not to fret if you don't hear back from your granddaughter.. the mobile phone towers can go down along with internet services.. also I imagine a lot of people texting and it might be hard to get a message through and also back out.
I think a lot of us fail to factor in fires when we are looking at moving or getting a place.
On the news last night they said there are 100,000 homes in Sydney alone that are within 100m of bushland that is prone to fire. I really think they should look at retro fitting and trying to protect older homes, especially ones with timber exteriors more than we do at the moment.
I'm glad the wheat pack helps alleviate your pain and discomfort. I'm not sure if you have seen them, but, you can get 'elastoplast' heat bandages that you could use when your on the move. I tried one out a few months back on my back and it seemed to work okay. They are about $7 for a pack of two.
Hope you are having a good afternoon 🙂
I didn't know or notice anything @Shaz51
Don't worry about it - you are such a kind lady - it's not a problem
