  • Update on me & life

    So I've been told I've been missed a little round these parts.

    Here I am with a update and probably a need for hugs.

    Life isn't sucking as much as it did but then I'm still missing my husband every bit as much as the day I lost him. The tears still come on odd occasions but the pain is a little less intense then when it first happened. I'm keeping in touch with his family and they are doing ok. I wrote a post in my livejournal if any one is interested. Here Sorry it's set up for automatic over 18s thingy because some of my other entries are more... well yes *cough* So be warned if you poke about at the other couple of entries that Slash is ahead.

    So my hubby had a death in service. It amounts to a fair bit as well as small pension which is nice. So the past few weeks I've been doing the grown up thing of clearing debts, buying needed things and generally making sure I'm secure. In that vein I ended up at the bank today talking to my advisers about investing some of the large some into some accounts of various types (ISAs, Term Deposits and some other stuff) so I don't have all my eggs in one baskets so to speak. So at least I should be in reasonable shape for the next few years money wise.

    Work has been the usual chaos that it tends to be with added fun of being told to keep my hours properly and not swipe in early or late out. Oh that'll happen when we get more staff maybe? I ended up going down a half hour early on Thursday due the rather large cock up on the rota because someone was ill and they knew about it but didn't do anything about it.

    At least I'm not there for a week now since I'm having knee surgery on the 1st (Monday). I'm going to relax and enjoy surfing from my new shiny netbook in bed.

    Really I am doing ok if not quite myself but I'm trying to remember who she is and how to be her just at the moment though I'm not sure I'm ever going to be the same.

        I am keeping in touch with his family even if it's just through email with his brother mostly though I'm hoping to go visit in the next couple of weeks because it's his dad's birthday soon and it'd be nice to see them.

              Good luck with the surgery. It's nice to hear you're looking to the future.

              Keep us posted.

                No, you won't be, but it's a matter of dealing with the person that you have become now and working through the grief to come to terms with that new person.

                Even after almost 2 years, that's something I'm still working on, but everyone is different.

                You take the time that is needed for you to heal and get through it.

                Nothing wrong with that.

                I have gone through periods of just lurking.

                It's a place of familiarity and there are so many great people here with caring hearts and big shoulders.
                Even if you don't feel like posting or talking to anyone, just connecting with people through reading their stories can be the boost you need on days when things seem really dark.
                Too tired of living and too tired to end it. What a conundrum.

                    Just heard from my mum that the surgery has been done and she was just waiting to talk to the physiotherapist. I'm going to go with Mum and pick her up later.

                      Well I'm back and not too sore.

                      I've had good news and bad though. There was nothing floating about in my knee but the cartilirge behind the knee isn't in good shape so it looks like I'll be seeing a knee specialist to see what options I have. It hopefully can be controlled with a series of excises but we'll see.

                      Tired now but that is to be expected.

                        Small update

                        I'm back at work after two weeks off and it went ok despite the shooting pains in my knee. Yay painkillers. Told my manager the good news and she took it ok and wants to know what the specialist says in case I have to change jobs.

                        So I do a little artwork as a hobby (Poser 8, Bryce, Carrara for the geeks) and I finally got round to getting back to it after a long break.

                          That's a beautiful piece of work. One of the best eulogies I've encountered.
