Ramblings of an Odd Bod and thanks to all

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to thank everyone for their kind words and support

following my wrist dislocation on Monday. I'm sorry I haven't posted

sooner, but I've been quite sore and taking some much needed downtime

in order to get my rather scrambled brain together. It has been such

an overwhelming few months for many medical and personal reasons,

that I have suddenly hit the wall and realised I'm not coping as well

as I pretend I am!

So I'm taking a step back and allowing myself to get a grip on all

that is happening and at times just cry and let go of my pent up

emotions. I think I need to do this in order to adjust, cope and move

on hopefully in a stronger frame of mind to come with challenges that

lie ahead.

Tonight my body is screaming blue murder, not helped by having a

shoulder MRI yesterday. I had to lie with a cuff on my arm, and

proper uncomfortably on one side in the buzzing chamber for 30

minutes - I could barely move when they finally released me! I know

that my pain is magnified by tiredness too as I haven't slept for

more than an hour in 2 months now...after exhausting numerous

alternatives I am now having to resort to sleeping pills, which is

something I hate the idea of but know is necessary at this point

sadly. If you don't hear form me for a day or two you know they are

working! ;-)

I see my OS next week about my neck instability, shoulder

dislocations and now my wrist too - poor Mac, he'll be exhausted! I

really hope that he can offer me some hope of relief and stability at

least in my shoulder but I'm not getting my hopes too built up. The

reality of more things going wrong and less being possible to fix

them is starting to dawn on me, and it's terrifying me. Oh well, such

is life and at least I still have my mind and my wonderful friends.

Thank you once again for listening and caring for a crazy little Odd

Bod form the UK, you'll never know how huge a part you play in my

life.

Love and hugs....Jo

Jo,

The sleeping pills will give you much needed rest and strenghth to carry on and

cope! Crying is good! It gives us the opportunity to allow ourselves to have

an emotional release from our physical suffering! It's OK to cry! Take Care!

Sincerely, S.
