Thank you so much for your support message. I really appreciate it.

Setting boundaries and knowing our limits are so important for protecting our wellbeing and mental health. My pain hasn’t been this bad since the car crash, which was 13 or 14 years ago. My memory tonight is fuzzy, and I guess that’s why I’ve been struggling. I’ve stopped having the root nerve injection because I had a bad reaction two years ago that caused swelling and more nerve pain. The temporary effect was helpful, but now I’m feeling the full force. I don’t want to take too many opioids, but when it’s as bad as it is now, I have to.

The reason I want to go back to work is only part-time so that I can pay for holistic treatments and other pain relief, and I’ve always worked so its hard not being in a working environment, even though I’ve worked freelance for the last 3.5 years. I probably shouldn't work and but, I'm hoping that I can.

My cat, Cario, is my medicine. She’s with me throughout everything, unless my grand-babies stop over and the eldest one, who will be nine this month, helps me. She washes the dishes, hoovers up after the mess her and her brother create, and even helps when I’m cooking. She’s an angel!

But, yeah, just have to keep living life and embracing each day. Breathe, balance my chakras, and energy!
Peace and love! X
