I have been a member of Gransnet for many years now but haven’t actually posted since 2016 when I had a benign brain tumour removed which all went well. The year after in 2017 I had a tumour removed from my cervical spine in the Southampton Neuro which didn’t go so well. I was left with a spinal injury causing paralysis in my right hand side. I spent 4 months in Salisbury Spinal injuries Unit where I was told I would never walk again. However I persevered and promised myself that I would walk out of there. I didn’t quite manage that but can walk short distances which is great and know I am lucky. I have been left with severe rigidity/spasticity in my right arm shoulder and side.
The reason for the title of this post is that I want to complain about the sheer discomfort and pain of it all of the time, which of course I try not to. I know my family don’t judge me when I do have the occasional meltdown but they would I’m sure, if I did it every day. My husband is great and not well himself which makes me feel even worse about complaining. I’m struggling at the moment. I do feel a bit better for putting it all down in words and know dear reader that you won’t judge me. Thank you for listening.x
