Life is Full of Surprises

Oh yes, a sense of humour definitely helps.

I too am looking forward to the warmer weather although I think I’d settle for no rain right now :grin:. Xx

Dear Janet I too fell in my kitchen with no rhyme or reason for it. Thinking about it I think I just turned too quickly but like you it knocked my confidence for 6. I think we just have to accept we are not so steady on our feet as we were. That’s why I now go twice a week to strength and balance classes . They really do help . Take care and try to do things more slowly . Love Suzywong x

Suzywong. I am always being told to slow down! Physio, GP, nurses when I was in hospital! Doing everything quickly is me I’m afraid. Hard to change the habit of a lifetime! Pleased you’re ok. Take care and SLOW DOWN!!

Been missing you, Mark. I tried to invite you to a chat message, but found your messages are disabled. Just wanted to say here, think of you often, hope to see you when you find time.

I can’t imagine all the changes to acclimate to when getting back to work. It wears me out just to think of getting up to prepare for work, let alone staying ahead of the fatigue to get any done. Please know very many of us think of you very fondly and hope only the best for you.

@Ingo66 Hi Mark, am really sorry to read of your seizures etc. That must have been very scary for you. I really hope you are doing ok now & that you’re taking things easy so you can recover properly. Try not to rush back to work too soon. Hopefully they will be fully supportive of you working from home. I don’t know if you know about access to work but they can provide help with travel to work if you really need to go into the office as well as helping with other adaptations.

I hope they’ve managed to get your seizures under control & that you don’t have any more.

Take good care.

While I am so happy to hear you did not have another stroke, I am not so happy about siezures. I hope they are finding the cause, and have a good solution in mind. No idea if you have to work, but if it is possible to get by without it, I highly recommend. Sometimes, I know being responsible for something (a job or another person) could be very helpful, but since I simply cannot imagine how I would manage, I prefer to not return to that kind of stress.

I am keeping you in my thoughts, sending light your way. I thought I might be right behind you on the return to work, but I no longer see that happening.

In the meantime, do you have a way to get around for needs, and some relaxing fun times?

@Ingo66 good to hear no more seizures since getting home & i hope your cold has gone too.

Sounds like you have a supportive employer but make sure you look after your health too. I know what you mean about enjoying your job & wanting to work as I’ve just reduced my hrs so i can continue working too.

Take good care of yourself xx
