Hey @KIK
Firstly like @Meglos said that was a excellent post you have written. You are right I think most of us come on here for light relief and to escape the chaos of everyday life. The fighting on here just gets me so depressed. I think people (I am guilty of this as well) sometimes do not realise they are talking to actual other human beings on here who all have lives and may be going through some stuff. I guess as humans it's easy to forget this when we just have usernames and avatars.
I am very sorry to hear that you are going through one of the worst times in your life. I hope whatever this storm is calms down. You will get through this. There will be a light at the end of the tunnel.
I am going to do a @hooleydooley and post a music video
. I am not sure what you are going through right now and what your situation is and I hope this video doesn't offend you. But music can be very powerful and personally it helps me when I am in a rough place. I am currently into Nelly Furtado again and she has a song called "Try". The song has the lyrics "and I see you standing there, wanting more from me and all I can do is try". The song is about a relationship but I like to think it could be interpreted about the universe and how we struggle and all we can do is try our best and get strength from within to get through awful situations and/or times in our lives that the universe throws at us. I probably sound crazy don't I? Haha. This is just my perspective of the song.
Anyway KIK I just want to let you know I am thinking of you and I send my love and positivity.

Oh no, well in the spirit of this thread and the fact that it's RUOK day - are you ok?? Or at least, will you be? I hope so.
Just a really crap day. Things didn't go how I expected them to

Alright I have to talk about this cause I'm a bit affected by it.
I'll try to be as vague as possible.
I am a manual therapist (won't be specific lol) obviously I see people in various stages of undress, sometimes people have lumps or moles that I will ask if they've had checked out, most of the time they say yes and sometimes they say no.
If no I'll recommend just getting it checked at the doctor, just in case, probably nothing, usually does end up being nothing.
One time it wasn't, one time it was cancer and I received a phone call from my patient thanking me for finding it when I did.....saying that if it hadn't been found when it was it'd be too late for treatment.

Well done for being diligent and observant. I appreciate the enormity of what happened and how it affected you. It's hard when there are parts of your body you can't see clearly and it's good to know that someone is taking the time to take care of patients/clients by bringing things to their attention.
Wow. I ditto @Khun Khun , by caring about your client as a whole & not just the part you are working on, is a credit to you as a person. You are awesome

I'm more ok now than I was yesterday. While watching The Bachelor with my mum, her leg pain escalated to the point where she was screaming in the worst agony I've ever experienced. For six hours it was like something out of the Excorcist as we redressed her bandages, administered her medication and tried to comfort her. It basically lasted all night, and I filled in for her at work for half a day today while she went straight to the doctor again.
So all I want to say here really is, this thread is not only an are U OK, but are your loved ones ok, because I am in recovery from a procedure myself, but it is absolutely nothing compared to how much it hurts seeing my mother suffer. I'm still shaking today.

Your poor mum
Still not good, but much better than last night. They altered her medications, and part of her extreme reaction yesterday was down to both the pain and panic attacks because she hadn't taken an Endone, because she doesn't want to become reliant on them.
Thanks for asking el' coopo

Wow sorry to hear @Meglos - that's awful, but I'm glad she is at least a bit better today and hopefully she will continue to get better each day.
And @sorceress86 i can only echo the others - obviously you are great at what you do and your client will forever be grateful for your concern and compassion.

I hope you both feel better soon

I can only imagine how hard that would have been, hopefully she's feeling a bit better today?
@el'coopo @jessy_girl @Khun Khun
Thanks for the kind words guys, yeah I do care about my patients a lot...guess it sounds cliche but I try to be professional and pay attention to detail about those things.
It's really one of those 'makes you think' situations.
