Would you be able to contiune your current work if you had someone to help you? I do sympathize with you...back pain is hard to live. I get pain myself from time to time, though I'm sure it's not as chronic as your own conidtion. Have you tried mindfulness healing? Crafting is always a great support too ;o) I hope you find ways to boost your spirits while you're hanging in there.

Sorry to hear you are feeling low. I think you are right to think through what you would do if you had to give up your current job, especially re the tied house. My parents lived in a tied house and when my father had a stroke we were out on our ear. But in those days the council were quick to re-house us. I don't know if that happens nowadays. Maybe its worth finding out, so at least you know what to do if you need help quickly. But I do hope you get your groove back... and knitting is a wonderful mood-enhancinng drug!Roobeedoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395340950409421904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689267729112159895.post-59597804278844498352008-10-07T20:34:00.000+01:002008-10-07T20:34:00.000+01:00thank you so much, vanessa, for you're very kind c...thank you so much, vanessa, for you're very kind comment.

I can sympathise, I have been having a bad spell over the last week - must be something in the air. Oh, and I get SO nippy too, it's a bummer as they say!

I think of mine as a black hole just waiting to swallow me up. As long as I take my pill every day, the hole stays behind me where it's harmless. But if I forget for a couple of days, it's just as you describe -- "nippy" with others and a huge effort to be "up."<BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry you're going through this. Whether or not we ever meet, you have a friend in America who understands exactly and is rooting for you.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451551725354518428noreply@blogger.com
