I hear you! It is a tough time for so many of us. I say if you need to vent then go right ahead hun. Perhaps vent, express pain, offload, process are kinder ways of seeing it, rather than whining & complaining? At least I am sure that is what my therapist may say........ not that I'd be able to be so kind to myself!!! Bahahaa......complicated aren't we?
My boy will also be away from the 26th for a whole week.........that is not good for me. Hope you can find plenty to distract while your child is away. We'll be in the same boat. So sending kind thoughts to you.
I do hope you can find some relief for your pain. Do you not have any physio's where you are that you can just self refer and walk in? We do have some here, but you have to look a bit harder. Maybe not in your part of the country?
Take care GeminiNZ
