Today I am thankful for an amazing afternoon with my mum in the city, including dinner at the Noddle Festival in Hyde Park with Nick and Rachel. I am also grateful to be blessed with such an awesome family ❤ Day 3. #NoodleFestival #HydePark #365daysofgratitude #356grateful

Today I am thankful that I can watch as much Crime Fiction TV as I can! What a blessing (and I acknowledge, sometimes a curse) to have such easy access to media and entertainment as distraction is one of the best pain killers around 🙂 Grateful day 2. #365daysofgratitude #365grateful #challenge

Today I am thankful that even though the traffic was awful this morning, I still made it to the MTS training day on time! Gratitude-Day 1.

Back to the start

After more research and speaking to other woman with the same or similar issue to me…… I must return to the specialist that told me there is nothing wrong with me… His suggestion was to lose weight and see a psychologist. Apparently the chronic pain has “just been in my head” and my real problem is obesity. NOTE: I WAS NOT OBESE BEFORE THE PAIN STARTED!

Sorry, sore spot. 

I need to vent. I have a month and a half to reconcile myself with the impending consult, praying he wakes up on the right side of the bed and has some compassion for breakfast. I don’t feel like paying another $180 for 15 minutes of aggravated physical pain and emotional trauma (okay, I may be over-reacting…)
