Still Struggling

I do find myself thinking more now what would my mam do or dad say, its a constant struggle, I lost my only sibling too he was 45 and the part of my life I had has just gone.
I would only recommend spiritualist church if your mindset is good, ive been a few times and mam came through and I actually thought id feel better but it made me worse, nothing can bring them back and its coming to terms with that

I done a few spiritual stuff on FB and I can understand you seek guidance we all do. We tend to trust family. But really me and mum was our own little unit. I give it some thought! not in a rush!

Definitely any sign is something, if you read books I recommend" The map of heaven" my mam always believed in the hereafter and this book brings comfort knowing that there possibly is

But I also been diagnosed with Myeloma Cancer so itā€™s all added to the mix. Iā€™m still dealing with the 2 things and I canā€™t see that changing to 2025. Then itā€™s like what do I want to do ? do I leave my city ? Iā€™m on my own so Iā€™m kind of free to do what I want.

Sorry to hear that wish you well regards health, I say grab any chance you get by the horns ! its when your stuck with no chance of escaping it hits harder, its not an answer to your loss but its a step in the right direction

They still want me to go tomorrow, but said they might get a doctor to check me over.

Thatā€™s good that they will check you over, they wonā€™t want to disrupt your treatment unless they have too. They can be sure then if you need antibiotics, the way you are you canā€™t mess about when you are ill

I think itā€™s more a COVID test! understandable as there a lot of older people visiting that clinic. Just looking around Iā€™m not the youngest but Iā€™m the oldest either and that clinic plays a vital part in my city.

No COVID, but didnā€™t get away till 18.40 and arrived at 15.00

Thatā€™s a long appointment!

Sounds a bit like AAU at my hospital!

Had to be checked out by doctor, blood test and COVID check in a isolation room. Then waiting for meds and then injections. Itā€™s takes time!

It will take a little while for the Covid and blood tests to come back. Itā€™s good that they have you isolated and treating you

I think I came back negative for COVID as they wouldnā€™t have put me into the clinic for injections.

Itā€™s good that you are still getting the treatment so you must just have a cold which is pretty rubbish still, glad itā€™s not Covid

When I caught COVID on the ward in June took me a week to shake it off. The cough was causing me problems with my back too. It was like how can I cough and be kind to my back at the same time ? my back felt it every single time. I donā€™t think anyone knew on that ward what was truly wrong with me, I was glad when I was eventually transfered to the hospital Iā€™m under now.

You know how it is at hospitals things have to be done by the book. The clinic has older ages then me so understandable why they take precautions. I been lucky that I not had many side effects to the injections. But listening into the Myeloma sessions at Maggieā€™s I know not everyone is lucky as me.

That sounds pretty terrible.

We had it in 2022 just a week before by exam. We were worried sick about mum but with antibiotics she bounced back pretty quickly. She had me out watering the garden in the night of the summer heat with a temp of 101! I cursed at the time but I know now mum was keeping up busy so we could fight it

The truth is this, not everyone is fully qualified to work in a hospital. Some do menial jobs, junior doctors wouldnā€™t have a clue about someone like me with Myeloma. But you would expect them to read your case notes. Maybe they go through so many they canā€™t be asked no more ?
