Hey Mumma bear ❤️
Yes lack of pain meds was because of my GP leaving. They still have not replaced her with the new GP that was supposed to start a month ago. I am looking for a new clinic/GP. My psych gave me a few recommendations and I have looked into them - two are only available during my work times but one looks promising. I am going to look more into her next week (after Easter) as I am still not very well so taking it easy today again. The pain is better so that is a positive but the extra meds have upset my stomach so have also been dealing with that - better than back, ear, throat pain though 👍
I completely understand you not continuing with that counsellor - it can be so hard to find one we click with (I certainly have been extremely fortunate there). Therapy should have our needs at the centre of it and going back over old ground is not always what is needed nor sought. We can work on things without having to deal with the 'way back' past. When we already have that insight, we no longer need to rehash old ground. My psych is great with that - we often talk about 'old' things but as part of the present. She knows I have that insight already and does not push to 'put words in my mouth' or take therapy in a direction not helpful for me.
Yes my Nan was my best friend - I am very impressed you remembered how much she meant to be ...much like your Nan. That grandmother-grand daughter relationship is a very special one. With all that we were dealing with in our family (and me personally), I could always rely on my grand parents to be a safe place. I spent so much of my childhood with them and will always be grateful for how much they gave me.
I read with absolute happiness your daughter inviting you for Easter lunch. That is something I honestly did not expect but am so, so happy for you. I hope it is an enjoyable day but aside from that - your daughter reaching out in this way is a break through. I am not sure what is happening Easter Sunday but no doubt there will be a lunch at either my sister's place or my parents'. Either way, I will have to travel, but it is only about half an hour away so not too far. I will of course take Toby but Clover will stay home. She was much more social as a kitten but now she is a Mumma's girl lol
Much love and huge hugs to you @Owlunar2 I love seeing you here when you are able to Mumma bear ❤️❤️❤️
