| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

| | Pain clinic 8 a.m. this morning.
I asked about my options... I was curious if they could do surgery and just remove the offending nerves?? (kinda like a root canal??? for the face)
The Doc told me that the nerves were too small and complex to start removing from my face... ughhhh
Headed to Rona afterwards to pick up some salt to melt the ice outside.
Allowed myself to get lost in the garden section... just strolling down each aisle, touching and admiring all the tropical plants.
Since I can't smell... the feel of plants is the most important thing.
I grabbed five 2" tropical plants that were only 95 cents!!!
They have beautiful thick green leafs, some scattered with purples and pinks.
Afterwards I headed to my local fish store.
My poor marine tank at home has been in desperate need of some more crabs!!!
Sounds weird (imaging writting "get crabs" on a to-do list, lol)
But I figured today was the day, since I was already out and about.
LOL, ended up waiting 15 min outside the store for it to open.
All for a couple of bucks worth of marine life.
Oh well, I'm finally home now and I'm just trying to keep busy.
My back/neck/head is killing me... so I try to keep distracted |

| | Your stamina amazes me YA. I can't imagine life with constant pain. I hope someone will find a solution for you soon.
My family has been sick. First my little one and then my older one then me. Hubs never got it. I am having the most difficult time bouncing back. I've taken a little dip in morale these past few weeks. I am so weepy and sad and I don't get it! It's like a mean trick on me. I even think about being sad, tears just roll out of my eyes. I would love to say it's all hormonal but I think I have some serious work to do as I crawl out. I see the midwife tomorrow so we will see what this little bub is doing. |

| | Thanks Nam, LOL, although I must say I did crash pretty hard after all that.
Just woke up actually.
My bag of 'crabs' have been floating in my main fish tank, adjusting to the temp and such, so I should probally get those guys onto the live rock and eating some algea!!!!
The sidewalk has finally been re-salted/sanded (I almost slipped and fell this morning)
Just a matter of chipping the remaining ice away (I'm leaving that for boyfriend, lol)
Ughhhh... it's 10p.m. and we have no food for boyfriend work lunch tomarrow...
Safeways open 'til 11, so I'm gonna run over there, pick up some bread and sandwich meat. :)
The dog has already brought his seatbelt and leash over, and is laying infront of me, lol!
He goes everywhere with me. (one of the reasons I won't do errands mid-day... I'm too afraid to leave him in the truck long, even in the winter)
Anyways.. better get my arse in gear before I forget and it's too late. |

| | My house alarm started beeping, so I ran upstairs to check and see.
Apparently it's lost connection with the phone line.
So I check and yes, my house phone is dead...
since they are conected hopefully my internet connection doesn't dissappear too!!! :(
Otherwise I might be MIA for a little bit... at least 'til I can pay that bill.
Take care all :) |
