Horror stretch

The last 6 weeks have been my worst time since hubby was in hospital last March.
Last Sunday I hit the wall and splat to the floor....

Work had us working extra shifts, packing and preparing to move..... plus our normal jobs.
I had to relieve four shifts extra in the city surgery while the other RN was away. These are long 10 hour days...
We then had the physical move of the contents of the workplace to the new workplace by physically pushing contents in shopping trolleys. At least this day we closed for the day. Worked all day Sunday .
Then the major unpacking and open for business on the Monday.

In the middle of all this I attended a 60th wedding aniversary on the central coast, went on a day outing as a volunteer with hubby's work to the Easter show, have attended two workshops to update my nursing skills in wound care & taking Pap smears and yesterday a 21st at Bowral.
Had a guest stay for 3 nights and need to complete an assignment for my diploma.

During this time I commenced a new drug to lower my cholesterol and have put on weight since then. On the doctor's scales I had gained 5kg in 6weeks.
We have stopped the drug for two months to see if my body normalizes ....

Just to top it off I woke on Monday morning with a swollen red face..... some reaction to something....

I have now been on drugs to ease this and it has slowly become more itchy and gone up into my scalp and round my ears...

I'm falling apart... But have come to terms will the loss of my side of the family as far as head space goes. They are not worth my energy right now so are back away in the too hard to bother with basket....

I have an extension on my assignment... and am now off to help younger son move house.

Hope you all are fairing better than I am... This latest WW magazine has been full of positive stuff that I hope will motivate me to keep going.

Thanks for all the positive comments from you fellow travellers...

I'll be back after weight morning on Tuesday....
