Sounds great I'm a substance misuse social worker so do a lot of work within the criminal justice system
 
i just realised rude i must seem i didnt even ask what you do for living :eek: That sounds so interesting and rewarding, what brought you to that job? im starting work in charity shop tomorra, should keep me busy until college in sept. Had my first day at the gym today, it was great, so glad i went- there again after work tomorrow:) xx
 
Not rude at all hun!

It's cliché but I always wanted to help people so became a social worker (I'm nice honest) and substance misuse fascinates me and I had some experience with friends so went into it from there. Love my job the day I don't anymore is the day I hand my notice in as not fair to the clients otherwise.

Gym sounds good I need to motivate myself to go and join some classes I have a disability which limits my mobility but I'll find something I have to lol xx

I'm jealous, it sounds a great thing to get out of bed for in morn, not everyones privileged enough to do something they love, well done! i had my first day at charity shop today,im well pleased- i guess you could say i have disability, just not a physical one, i suffer from depression n severe anxiety so its been big step for me gettin this job n joining gym, all building me upto col in september :)

What's your disability, ye dont have to say, im just nosy :p xx
 
Well done hun! Did you enjoy it? That is a great step to have taken.
Depression and anxiety is a horrible thing to go through it has such an impact on every part of life so well done on joining the gym how are you finding it?

I have a chronic knee condition and walk with a stick ( funky purple one tho) and chronic pain so it's a bit rubbish but it could be worse

It was great hun, a lot of hard work goes on, i thought ye just stood there and looked pretty ha! so pleased i did it, im doing mondays, tuesdays, wednesdays :)off to gym again today :D.

Purples my fave colour, ide have got a purple one too :D it must be horrible chick, is it poss to have knee replacement? My fella when he was born had to be literally pulled out or was gonna die, due to that he's got erbs palsy in his arm (his nerves were severed so doesnt get much use out of it, etc n they dislocated his hip but didnt realise about that until he was 2 he walkd but couldnt crawl, bcause waited so long to realise hes donald ducked now, he had alot of ops as a kid nwas in wheelchair. he's in paineveryday, painkillers off docs dinnit touchthe sides, itsbasically boneon bone :( the only thing that can be doneis hop replacement but its 6 weeks recovery of work which we couldnt even afford n its done every 7 year, even though it could leave him pain free (no guarantees) it will limit things he can do,even though hes in pain doing them. He doesnt need stick or chair anymore since ops, he walks with limp but could end up in wheelchair one day so scary thought. sorry for the ramble lol just sounds like you's are going through similar. xx
 
I'm really glad it went well and I'm sure you do make the place look pretty! It'll take a little but to get into the rhythm of the place but you'll love it!

Oh you didn't ramble at all! Your partner gas my sympathy because constant pain isn't good! Has he ever been to a pain clinic to see if there is anything they can do? Even if it's bone on bone there might be something?

I had an accident in the QE hospital in Gateshead (long story but basically spillage on the floor) I've had 5 operations including them realigning my knee via breaking my leg and by a ligament reconstruction but I'm 40 yrs too young for a replacement! I'm in chronic pain but trying an increase in my meds which has knocked me for six and I'm feeling so poorly haven't eaten since Wednesday just can't face food :(

sorry for delay thought ide replied- doh! ah well i will certainly make place look colourful tomorra, ive dyed my hair green haha, ide only just bleached it to platinum and got it to silver but fancied a change so why not, ye only live once :p i dont know about knee replacements soim not sure if thats correct about the being too young, i think you should get a second opinion hun.Mark goes to the freeman hospital every 12 months to see the specialist and hes been telling mark for years his only option to get painfree is hip replacement funnily enough his sister also needs one but for a completely different thing, theyve both been urged to get one from the consultant but like i said its not that straight forward, marks only 26 he wants to hold off as long as possible.

I feel your pain with the meds, i dont know where i am on the dose im at at the mo, went to docs on fri to see about getting them changed and because ive got underactive thyroid aswell gotta wait for my next blood test results to check im on high enough before he will change any of my mental ones. ive finally started diet today and feel in the zone thank god! been along while coming. how you feeling today? xx
 
Wow green hair is quite a statement!! I I had purple tips for a while but I'd get frowned upon at work I think if my while hair was purple! Tho I'm naturally blonde and my hair seems to hate hair dye even the purple tips didn't last long. (hairdresser says I have odd hair)

There is no guarantee a knee replacement will help which is why they won't really consider it until i get to 60 (as it has to be replaced every 10yrs they rarely do them younger and I've had enough surgery so far to last a life time)

Oh not good about your meds hopefully you won't have to wait too long for your results. I'm no better just drove 2miles and feel like I'm gonna pass out so not driving again until I've eaten something. On the plus side managed a tiny bit of fruit yesterday!
Also I think I've lost about 4lbs. I'm Gillian by the way x

Chick you're gonna have to get yourself back to docs! I had excruciating night last night again, on new tabs for my face called reaccutane my god the itching, i was in agony all night again sitting with soaking wet towel over me, i think i got to face i cant take them no more :( i really dont want to though but i cant face another night like that, have me hosp apptment on thur will talk to consultant bout it.

Do you do WW meetings or online? im 25 as well, 26 in november :) im determined to grow old disgracefully lol. Going out with the bf today as he's off work-be a challenge for me we usually end pup in pics or pub with food, so gotta keep me eyes on the prize :cool: xx
 
As I type I'm lying in the RVI think they know what's wrong now after test after test least I'm getting fluids via iv but it's going to be a long night! Think the wars isn't too far from a&e so sirens

Not good at all about those tablets hun you best have a chat about them but what a horrible side effect are you feeling better now?

I actually do ww alone so don't go to meetings or use online just count my points (with the help of a brilliant app) and weigh myself each Monday without fail! So far so good and im managing to stick to it I don't go to meetings purely because I had a bad leader (losing 3lb isn't enough it should be 4lbs etc... And she's the only women that does meetings in my area- she is very much a one off tho!) which diet are you doing?

I hope you had a lovely night out tonight with the bf if you went to the pics what did you go see?
Well I'm 26 next month and I want to loose another 9lb by my birthday (luckily its towards the back end of the month!) so losing 2lbs a week and I should be able to do it my reward is wearing a dress I've only worn once for my night out so fingers crossed!
Definitely keep an eye on the prize hun do you set yourself mini targets or do you just have one overall goal? Xx
