@PeelerSheila @melbaboutown oh this is me too, I have the excuse of only just finishing renovations when I got an excruciating herniated disc, which took about 3 months to almost heal... and then promptly another disc popped. Am only now starting to feel like the surfaces might get cleared again as the post-reno reorganising is only just in the last week really starting to resolve.
Ouch! Take it easy mate, that sounds awful! It's so frustrating when you have to look at things which need doing because you can't get stuck into it. Mr Peeler gets disc trouble and he can go from naught to bedridden in a very short amount of time.
@PeelerSheila thankyou! Sorry to hear your partner has ongoing issues - I'm truly not looking forward to the potential of this to keep reoccurring now its happened twice in a row with little time in between. But it has given me the kick up the arse to lose weight and despite the ongoing poor sleep and pain not yet resolved, daytimes are pretty good now, I am getting at least 5 hrs sleep (up from 2-3 hrs a couple weeks ago) and can function even though mornings take a while to warm up. My surfaces! I can almost see theeemmmmm!
