[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2509643, member: 493719"] Morning all. A mix of a week. FBG's low 7's. A result of the vagaries of treating two (or more) competing issues holistically. Wednesday was PTSD day Therapist questioned why it makes me anxious I think the dragging up (for my benefit I hope ) Of something that I try to keep away from, in such details, is a rollercoaster of emotions... Not looked forward in eager anticipation, obv Ending almost when very Pete tong Honest from her was the idea she'd be treating me for depression. .(no **** Sherlock ) Rather then PTSD, or so I understood it In the vein of being equally honest, I opined hat i WASN'T just 'Down' :rolleyes: and that seemed to trivialise my situation* Honesty hurts, but it's the only way to be truthful, which in this case brought a welcome response that cleared my worries Answer was it's a complex thing, and the plan is to tackle the depression first (?)..then treat the PTSD symptoms, which eased my mind and made better sense all round.:) *Yes, I do understand depression can be serious & life threatening in many ways, but haven't we all heard some one described as depressed, when miserable might have been a more appropriate word ? Which was how I perceived it .. rightly or wrongly Apologies to anyone genuinely suffering depression X. Hospital visit on Friday much better I struggle walking, and was using elbow crutch. Useful but cumbersome if not needed 24/7 And while I can walk very short distance unaided, anything else requires some support, so I tried a normal style crutch. ....effective. Appointment went well An acceptance of the new timeline to recovery has eased the self flagellation I was dishing out for not reaching impossible goals earlier then expected I seem to have a weak shoulder muscle set and weak thigh muscle....so exercises tilted to improving that hopefully. As said , I can't walk too well, and a mix of Uber charging double for trip , surge charging at 1pm :rolleyes: and the weak thigh message, made me think And I had the bright idea to rent a Boris bike I knew I CAN get on & ride a bike, but this would be my longest journey post accident by far Crutch snaggled up in tray at front, and we're off Trip successful ,. Cue BIG cheesy grin once home :D Meet daughter and two nephews to repeat previous week's breakfast/ beer club moment Ok, paid for it the next day .too much exercise/one too many But SO worth it. A restful weekend, ends a mixed week, on a very happy note :happy: [/QUOTE]
