The Weekend Blog | Dentists & Doctors
16th January 2016
Firstly, thank you so much for all your well-wishes to my mum. Her heart surgery went really well and I was chatting to her on the phone by lunch time. I made her a post-operation goody bag filled with crappy magazines, biscuits, sweets, bubble bath, etc. so she can enjoy her time off recovering.
This week has been a tough one. Naturally, I was worried about my mum, so Wednesday was a stressful day. Then my neighbour and my his mates decided to be a little rowdy on Wednesday night. They woke me up numerous times between 11pm and 3am shouting and laughing really loudly, but I noticed there was no music, which means our complaining has made a difference. I was just pissed off because I’d had a stressful day and the last thing I wanted was to deal with him.
I had a dentist appointment on Thursday (I had to cancel the one back in December) and I’m pleased to say it went well. He was actually a really nice guy, checking I was okay the whole time, and in the end I didn’t need any treatment. Turns out that tooth I thought was chipped isn’t!
I’m spending this weekend inside because I had a steroid injection yesterday. As usual, it hurt so much, but I’m pottering around the flat today relatively easily. While I was at the doctors I decided to mention that I had been having panic attacks because of my neighbour’s anti-social behaviour over the last 4 months. I’ve been wanting to talk to someone about my anxiety for years but I think it’s a really difficult subject to bring up in conversation.
I’m glad I finally did though because he was so supportive. He has wrote me a letter to prove that my neighbour’s behaviour is making me ill so the next time his letting agency doesn’t take me seriously when I complain I can wave that in their face. He’s also prescribed me something to help me sleep.
So, although this week was tough, I learned that even when times are hard I can find inner strength when I need it most. I’m stronger than I think.
Have a great weekend!
P.S. Adult colouring books are amazing for de-stressing.
That image got my full attention. I so love adult colouring pages. They simply take my mind off things!
I’m glad you have got a support for your complaints against your neighbours.
I hope your mother recovers well from the surgery!
Glad you like it! It’s from a book called Secret Garden.
I spoke to her this evening and she seems to be doing really well. 🙂
I’m glad everything went so well! Great news about your mother and tooth. I’m glad your new dentist was good and caring! That makes such a difference.
Neighbours can be so incredibly annoying and stress-inducing. This is one of the big reasons why it’s totally adequate to save for a house also at a very young age! No more awful neighbours!
Thank you. 🙂 It really does help if the dentist is pleasant.
I can’t wait to be free of neighbours. My dream is to own a detached house like the one I grew up in.
I’m glad your mother had a successful surgery. It’s great the GP understood the situation and he helped. Maybe now something can be done with the neighbors.
Thank you. 🙂 I’m hoping that letter makes a world of difference.
I’m glad things went well and that you’re resting up this weekend 🙂 Love the adult colouring books, I have the Enchanted Ocean one and the Enchanted Christmas too! Hope your hip is feeling better x
Thank you. 🙂 This one is the Secret Garden one, but I would love more.
I need to get an adult coloring book. I miss coloring books! I’m glad your mom is doing good! Woot~! ^^
They’re so good. I lose hours of my day just colouring!
