Morning all,
Healthwise, my aneurysm has grown very slightly and we are working very hard to get my blood pressure under control and everything stable, including unfortunately my mental health. I've become a little clinically depressed, for all manner of reasons, but it's very important to get me on a level. My social worker is brilliant and all concerned in my care are now becoming aware of the socio economic impact my disease is having persay. Financially i will be looked after, will not lose my key worker home, and will be able to feed myself. I'm a bit in limbo, though managing to eat, rest and sleep well. I have to keep reminding myself that this is only temporary, once BR, had my surgery and recovered, life begins again, from afresh, so i'm really looking forward to that. I need to be in the best condition for surgery, and have all these social and money issues sorted out for me before they fix me, as the worry itself makes it very hard for the drugs to work effectively for any sustained period of time. Whence the social worker, and home care team doing their bit for me. Still, it's hard to relinquish control over one's life to another at times, though honestly you have absolutely nothing in life if you do not have your health. Chin is up and chest is out. Take care all.
