That is no good @BlueBay - you take it easy and look after yourself Hon 

I have woken with a toothache - looks like a trip to the dentist as soon as I can get in - have taken painkillers already to cope with it a bit better. It sucks but that is all I can do until tomorrow.

Oh no @Zoe7 toothaches are horrible. I hope you can get in soon to the dentist. Take care lovely xx

[Zoe7]

I'll try to call tomorrow morning and see when I can get in - hopefully there will be a space open tomorrow @BlueBay - painkillers are helping but I can still feel it 

You are having a bad run BB - I hope your cold gets better quickly

Hi @Zoe7@Faith-and-Hope@Shaz51 I’ve been inside most of today. My daughter and Ayla called in late morning. We decided to go out for a hot chocolate. Little Ayla was all rugged up in her pram. She looked so warm and cuddly I wish I was in there !!!

back here me now and I’m laying down again. Can’t afford to hxve time off work. 

I looked into the DBT course. But it’s in a major hospital in the city which is over an hours drive. By reading the info I think I need to go twice a week. Not sure I have to look into a bit more. I’m not sure I can do that because hubby would have to drive me in. And not sure if there is a cost. @Zoe7 Do you have to pay anything where you go ?

[Zoe7]

Lovely that you had some daughter and Ayla time @BlueBay - just what you needed 

My DBT sessions are covered under my private health insurance BB - so I pay the initial hospital fee each year and then DBT sessions and pdoc are covered as an inpatient for half a day - that is why they need to be done in the same day. There is no way I could afford it otherwise.

@BlueBay that sounds like a lovely time out with your daughter and Ayla. simple things are good too.

[BlueBay]

Thanks @Zoe7 i think I will ring tomorrow the hospital that does it. I’ve already paid my excess for hospital for the year already in April. If I have to pay I don’t think I’ll do it. I’ll see what they say. 

How is your afternoon?

[Zoe7]

I only need to pay my excess once and that then covers all further admissions - hope yours is the same @BlueBay

Mu toothache is still affecting me but have just had more pain killers - I need to call first thing in the morning to try to get an appointment ASAP - I have my GP appointment tomorrow as well and I need to go to that one to re-check my blood pressure so I need to do both if I can tomorrow.

I did fall asleep with the meds earlier but as soon as they began to wear off I woke up.

Not doing anything this afternoon but trying to control the pain with the footy on in the background
