Gratefulness..... please join

Today I am very grateful for:

my GP, for her gentle care, the pain meds and referrals for further treatment;

my care manager, for his support and kindness and creativity;

and my awesome T, for understanding why i was so frightened in our last session yesterday, accepting my (via text) explanation today, gently challenging me, and then when i plucked up the very-last-minute courage to ask for something extra to help me through his break, doing it for me.

20 seconds of courage really can pay off.

This morning I am grateful for

My wife coming home from her trip
How well my business is doing
And the blessing of having very loving in-laws

Today I am grateful for...

being able to take my son and nephew to see a big xmas lights/installation thing today and seeing their excited joy

keeping busy, distracting

reading, alone, with or to my boy

This morning I am grateful for:

ice packs,
and confirmation of two (TWO!!) telly screenings of the Doctor Who Christmas special on Boxing Day.

Between the ramped up PTSD symptoms at this time of year, no T until the 8th of January (though will have some email contact, thankfully, and will still see my care manager), plus the agony of a slipped disc in my neck and a potentially long wait in the public health system for treatment, i've been feeling utterly miserable at times.

And on Boxing Day, my son heads off on holiday with his dad for five days (and that's the short holiday they're having, there's worse to come mid-Jan ) which i'm really not looking forward to.

However, I'm a massive Doctor Who fan so knowing I'll get to see the Doctor and Clara - and Santa Claus! - on Boxing Day (twice even) is a tiny wee bright spot which i am very grateful for.

(Sorry for the ramble. Struggling at the moment.)
