I’m so sorry to read that you’re going through this dark phase again, but also happy that you’re back on the psych ward, in a safe space. Stay connected!

Morning check-in! 
Sipping on my first coffee while I’m waiting for my physio appointment. I’m not sure if this is actually helping something… they put me / my shoulder on 2 machines; one for 10 min (microwaves) and laser for 3 min. 
I have gained some mobility back, but sometimes I think it’s because of the exercises I do at home. Probably it’s a combination of both!
Went to bed early, cause I had to get up early. Slept like a baby!

Checking in. 57 AF, 28 weed free. Greetings from the psych ward. They gave me pretty heavy meds, so I slept okay. Nothing much to do here except read a book which is fine. So, that’s basically my day for now. Now it’s important to just take it easy and heal myself. I’m glad I’m safe in here.
Have a great one, my sober peeps! Peace and love!

hey, thanks for the reply! I rested up for a while and I feel better today. Still not great (honestly I think I’m just irritable because my teeth hurt so bad!) but I have therapy and a dentist visit this week, both of which should ease my pain lol.
I’m hoping I can get into the dental hygienist program! Not exactly my passion but it’s something I can see myself doing. I’ve had some bad experiences at the dentist before and I know I can do the job without passing judgement. Plus, luckily, it’s been long enough that the college won’t look at my high school GPA I did really well on my placement testing (277/300) so I think I’ve got a good chance at this!

Hi love. Do you do any shoulder rehabilitation exercises? There are some good ones for shoulder mobility. Try doing them each day. Rehabbing is so vital yet insanely boring… My instructor says shoulders are notoriously glitchy in the torso and prone to injury. If I feel a twinge, it’s always on my lats or shoulder too. I try to mobilise it daily and it does help a bit.

Morning check in. Just arrived at work, got a couple of minutes to settle in and make a coffee. I slept awful even though I went to bed early. My work is going through some really tough changes and I noticed this is the first day I feel stressed again. I’m just going to do what needs to be done today and try to take care of my inner peace. Even though I feel stressed and tired, I do feel grounded and confident in staying sober!
Have a nice day everyone!

Hi all, checking in on Day 116.
All good news here today. Scan yesterday went well, all looking very healthy and no concerns. We are having a baby boy 
I really didn’t care either way, this baby is such a bonus anyway, but just knowing a bit more about him and seeing his cute face has really helped me bond.
Much love to you all. Have a good day.
@MrMoustache so pleased to see you checking in and taking your time now to heal.

Thank you for the beautiful words and thoughts @Alisa @LittleMissL @Tragicfarinelli @JennyH @JazzyS and everyone thinking of me.
Brief medical update
I received some positive news from the neurologist today. Surgery isn’t needed at this point. It’s an option if I choose it, but it does come with risks. I’ve been referred to a team of neurologists at Royal Melbourne who will monitor the aneurysm. The surgeon mentioned that I should continue living my life as usual, which includes driving, working and attending the gym since I’ve likely had the aneurysm for years. So, I’m back to see my PT starting tomorrow.

Checking in.
All is quiet still in my world. Just running, working out, working and being a general slave to my cats.
Hope you all have a nice day!

Thanks so much for updating, and so pleased it was a positive appointment. My Dad was diagnosed with the same a couple of months ago and has chosen the same route as you. I really admire your response to the news. It must be scary but you are taking a positive approach.

@Seb Thank you for keeping us updated. I am very glad to hear you can again pick up all the things you enjoyed like the gym. Such an important part of quality of life.
@JennyH So good to hear your baby is in good health and you are looking forward to having him
@Marit Hoping your stress lessens soon. We all need a break once in a while.
@Blondie75 Congrats on double digits! Glad to hear your anxiety has calmed. It‘s such a pain and takes away so much.
@MrMoustache So very glad to hear you slept well and can take it easy today.
@LifeWarrior135 Good to see you here with us and congrats on your first day
At first I read magic „desk“ instead „deck“ and got wondering 
Do you have a color you like to play best?@MrFantastik Looks cozy
What are your plans for the stay?@Catmama23 Sorry to hear you had such a hard day. Great to hear you got through the „fuck-it“ valley. Distraction with work or whatnot is a very valid sobriety tool. You used it well.

Last night was again filled with insomnia. I would wake up every hour slightly panicky, toss and turn, and then fall asleep for some time in order to wake up on the next hour. That was not much fun. But I got my meds yesterday and already started taking them. I am hoping for an improvement with the panick, tremors and sleepless nights.
My daughter‘s migraine seems to be gone. Very grateful for that.
The home help is supposed to come today. I already have a plan for them, what I need to get done, though I have no idea what they will be able to do in the alotted time. We‘ll see.
My inlaws will also come over to help with some errands. Very grateful for all their help. I hope one day I‘ll be able to give back to them.
Depending on my state I want to do some programming, some rownig exercise in the afternoon and wash my hair.
Today‘s picture is some streetart I enjoyed on one of my last hikes last year.
Peace and love always

Now it’s 5:30am finishing breakfast smoothie,
Lunch packed and coffee brewing to head out the door for 5:45am and put in a day on the hard asphalt! lol.
Anyway, enjoy your day kids!
