Chit Chat and All That...

Yeah mate I do indeed, same ole shit eh.

Ha ha yes you better not leave anybody out or there will be hell to pay, especially if Once has her handy whip at the ready.... you will be fu@#%&

 

Yup. Seems like my H progress has plateaued, which is no where near a decent life. We'll see how it goes. One day at a time.

How's you?

 

No it’s really not mate, it’s awful. I have mild H which is annoying enough but having it to your extreme is just a joke. That’s all you can do for now, take it one day at a time and hope it goes back to the way it was when it was manageable.
I’m ok, life is falling apart in front of me ha but it’s a cool, it is what it is eh. Try to take joy in whatever I can tbh, so suppose I’ve got that going for me.....

 

Keep it together while falling apart. In that sense, we're not much different. I try to enjoy the things I can still do as well (mainly writing, reading, and drawing).

I'd give a lot to be there right now. Really beautiful.

 

Exactly, I’ll take whatever I can ha ha. Nice man, what do you like to draw, I would love to be able to do that but alas my big man hands are too clumsy. What do you write as well?

That’s my thoughts as well, somewhere quiet and beautiful to look at.

 

Hey, @Jcb ...welcome back!...

 

Hey Jim, thanks mate. I thought I messaged you on here but I didn’t sorry. Hope things are ok with you.

 

Good to hear from yeah!

 

That's good to keep trying. I keep forcing myself to read and sometimes are better than others. Still not 100%. I still buy and collect my books though. I just got done rearranging my books again (AKA fitting new purchases into the poor over tasked bookshelves). I may not be able to read like I used to, but I might die in a book cave in. My book hording is keeping me going!!

 

Hi @Jcb!!!! I missed You!! How's my side kick doing!? haha
I need you to help me on the Survey Thread, pleaseeeeee. Haha

My elbow is not doing good. It hurts sooo bad. My doctor says is tendonitis and needs lots of rest to get better. At this point I may need an x-ray? Hoping they dont send me for an MRI. That's not happening.

Yes, so sad to hear about Allan. I'm heartbroken.

Glad you are back.
Once

 

I recently started writing a book actually. With an Iraqi war hero father, a Belarusian mother who witnessed the rise and fall of the Soviet Union, and my own experience with extreme H - I thought to myself; there's a good story here. We'll see what comes out of it.

As for drawing, mostly... animals. I love animals
It's never too late to start drawing, you know. My hands aren't that big, but it took me a long time to adjust to fine movements after years of weight lifting.

 

That does sound like great inspiration for a story! Good luck.

 

Good to hear from jcb, sorry you have had a difficult month, I really hope things start to improve quickly for you.

The news of Allan was devastating, he was such a lovely man, I know he will be missed by all the Tinnitus Talk community.

I formed a friendship with Allan by private chat over over the last 6 month period, I actually avoided logging in to Tinnitus Talk for a while as he did not answer my last email and I just knew something must be wrong. So sad ...

I made another pumpkin pie last week, my friends are mad on it. I hope @emmalee is well, I have not seen her post for awhile, so I am hoping she is curled up reading a good book by a warm fire.

I am doing ok despite still being on the wild roller coaster ride, but like you said what's new eh.

 

Count me in, how cute are they

 

I want a signed copy of the book!!! I love to read, haven't been able to do it for awhile due to concentration being off, but it is slowly coming back. It sounds like your story will be an interesting read.

I am also an animal lover, and I love owls

 

Will do!! Concentration off due to T?
I hope so. It'll take a while though, we'll be in touch

In the meanwhile, I present to you:

 

I’m sorry Star, it’s so heartbreaking when anybody passes away but if we are honest I think we know how he passed and that makes it that bit much more harder. Big hugs mate.

Nice, Star the pumpkin pie queen you’ll have to branch out and make some more flavours.

I’m hoping she is as well and getting on with life as well as she can .

 

Mate that sounds like a really interesting idea, go for it man. As Star said I definitely want a signed copy I’d give it a go.

Ha yeah most of the time I think I prefer animals to humans anyway, I’ll try but they will end looking like I drew them with my feet.

 

Hey, me too!!! @Labyrinthine

I love to read!
Thankfully, even with all these noises in my head, I can actually dive into a good book and enjoy it.

 

Hey Once, missed you too, you crazy mofo haha maybe lay off the whip cracking for a bit give your elbow a chance to rest eh.

Tendonitis can be horrible mate, try to rest it as much as you can and give it a chance to heal. Maybe go for a x-ray, they aren’t noisy at all and hopefully rule out anything more sinister.

 

Yeah death by books, could be worse ways to go I think?? I had a huge clear out of my books that were filling the attic, nearly killed me getting rid of most of them but I donated the majority of them so hopefully somebody will get pleasure out of them as I once did.
Book hoarding I can live with, I still have a room filled with books that needs sorting but I’m not sure if I ever will ahah

 

Oh JCB, it's horrible, horrible. . I can't sleep, I'm afraid to take too much ibuprofen (which don't help anyways because I think I'm not taking enough.) I'm going for an x-ray. I can't make the slightest movement when it hurts terribly. Let's not even mention how hard these last couple of days have been for me. (Sighing softly in frustration and deep sadness. ) But, like I always say, "This moment shall pass too. I'll be ok. There's always tomorrow."

I'm glad you are back.
Have you heard from @emmalee ?

 

I know mate, ibuprofen can be dangerous in high amounts especially if you have T. It’s so frustrating, we have to plan everything out to makes sure we don’t do more damage to our ears. Just try and rest it as much as you can, get the girls to help you as well so you are putting the least amount of pressure on your elbow.

It will pass Once, you are a fighter anyway, it’s probably the lack of sleep, the pain from your elbow and then your rave in your head. We are only human and can only take so much, let it pass and then look forward to a brighter day. Try and ride these little bumps we have and them come through it the other side a stronger person.
