Well please let us know how you get on if you feel up to it.

Good news is I don't have cancer

That is good news...

If it is all the news, and there is no improvement and you've no answers, I am upset.

I hope those things are coming really. fecking. soon.

Thank you for letting us know, though.

That is good news.

This is just a 'thinking of you'... bump.

Actually, I was thinking of how we rate pain out of ten, with ten being the worst we have known. And then I thought, 'worst trip'. And then I was a bit heartbroken.

Take care, babybird.

Physio thinks my ribs may have dislocated from my spine so I have to have an MRI

Well, f**k.

(Five months??)

I hope this is the answer.

And that it can now be resolved quickly.

Is the MRI very soon?

Hopefully this means it is drawing to a close. Hang in there. Hope you are being kind to yourself, giving yourself all the nice things.

Thank you for letting us know.

I have to wait for the appointment for the scan but it shouldn't be too long

At this stage I don't care if they open me up and rip the offending part out

Oh and he's gave me loads of exercises that might help and emergency phone numbers for my mental health. Its all connected

I can't tell you how glad I am that it is starting to make sense to you and that you are getting stuff that helps.

I can't even hold in my mind properly all you've been through these past months. It's so big.

This seems huge too, seeing how it all fits together. I'm so pleased for you.

I just... don't know the ins and outs of it, but surely pain = distress, that's physiological. How can you Cope with Stuff when you are in pain, like?? We are not built to. People don't.

But you have.

It is just so good that you are finally getting somewhere with it.

He sounds like a really brilliant physio.

Is it okay to ask how that stuff is going?

I don't want to bump the haven thread because you seemed ambivalent about it.

I think it might be boring to check in when it is just 'it sucks', 'it really sucks', 'it really f*****g sucks'. And I can understand why it would not feel good. Please do what is good for you. But we would like to know when you can

Yeah thank you for asking

I actually feel a bit better today. I think I'm starting to see a way past this pain and the injury and that must be making me feel better

I've been brave enough to tell the doctor and the physiotherapist about what I've been experiencing with regards to my mental health and they have really been brilliant. I feel as though they are pulling out all the stops for me with getting all the tests done and stuff so they can sort this issue out

But I'm taking it a day at a time because I don't wanna take anything for granted really

I am so glad that today has been a bit easier.

It is wonderful that you can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I think maybe... you are still walking through hell to get there. But I hope it is a real comfort.

You've had so much pain, it's been coming at you from all directions... it needs to be stopped first and then there will be time and space and love and kindness for healing and recovery.

Your body and your heart have both been brutalised, and it hasn't stopped yet, but it will be stopped. I am so glad you can start to see it.

...they definitely should be pulling out all the stops!! It is very good they are also nice and insightful and the rest of it but I think the stops must be pulled now, it is enough, babybird, there's been enough of it.

I am very glad you are brave. Well done, babybird. You are amazing.

Yeah it's been enough of it

And thank you as well. Being able to talk about it here has helped to be able to tell the doctor
If my mental health hadn't been affected by this so much I don't think they would be sending me for this MRI scan or the x-ray that I got the other day

I get the scan on Tuesday btw so they've got me in really fast

Any time. Anything you want to say

I think Tuesday would feel a long way away to me. But it is good that it is soon. Hang in there. It's on its way. Please check in when you feel up to it, we are thinking of you.

It does feel a long way but I was only referred on Thursday. Its private. There's no way it would have been that quick on the NHS for this particular matter

In fact if it wasn't for my declining mental health I don't think they would have given me an MRI scan at all

Well that's not at all a civilised way to go about things.

So people are just supposed to be in pain till they Really Cannot Bear It?

Rubbish.

Isn't the diagnosis procedure for that... an MRI. What do people do. Just wait and see what happens.

You should not have had to deal with that sort of pain for five months. Period. Let alone on top of other stuff.

I am amazed you are still upright, let alone kind and creative and funny and the rest of it.
