All has finally calmed down at home... too much frustration was sorted out.

My partner was getting frustrated with me for not sitting all day long. He now understands I can help and will offer to help and Im not completely incapable and I do call out when it all becomes too much.

I had a good week this week, I managed a trip to the shops with my partner just to get out n have a walk about. We were out for about an hour when i was finally pooped and asked to go home. The following day i wanted to go up to the local shop n get some stuff for scrapbooking. The plan went well till i wanted to buy a cup of coffee and couldnt remember my pin to my card. I paniced n went to the bank in ears where i was met by a lovely Teller who organised me and sent me on my way. I enjoyed my cuppa and bought what I needed and headed back home. Because I had a big day on my own and a bit emotional too I ended up with a killer Migraine which upset my partner. we got it under control but we both now realise I simply cant go out alone for now and will have to limit trips to no more then 1 hr.
What I noticed was my speech got terribly worse when I paniced and the staff in the shops treated me as if I had a mental disorder not a speech issue, so im now setting out to create a witty T-Shirt to wear out on such occasions. A friend had also suggested I make up a couple of witty badges instead of shirts to pop on when struggling in public.
I certainly dont think and act as I did 6 months ago and I just hope it all comes back after my op.
Speaking of Op's. Since my second trip to hospital was on the day before my surgeon appointment I have been placed back to the bottom of the waiting line which means right now we dont know when I will get into see him but it looks like nothing will be happening this side of July at least. I will keep u all posted tho.
Much love n big hugs to all,
cass
