Hello @BlueBay
and others visiting and reading this thread, including
@Former-Member, @MDT , @Shaz51 , @Former-Member , @Emelia8 , @Owlunar , @BPDSurvivor , @oceangirl
You have asked, @BlueBay "What do I do??"
If I were in your position, I would endeavour to separate Situation and Events: from Possible Actions and Considerations: and Feelings:
.......... " ..........
"
Situation and Events:
I have not enough money to pay him until Thursday {when hubby gets paid}.
How do I tell him?
Possible Actions and Considerations:
Feelings:
| 6. Concern about Doctors reaction to payment delay {Hate?, anger?.} 7. Self blame. 8. Personally assumed fault 9. Feeling downgraded 10. Can I live like this |
I would take this note, that I have written on the basis of the question I had originally asked, to assist me in my discussion with the doctor. I might even hand it to the doctor.
.......... " ..........

I hope that my description of what I might do will be helpful for you.
With Best Wishes

Hi friends @Shaz51 @oceangirl @Former-Member @Emelia8 @BPDSurvivor @Owlunar @MDT and ithers I’ve forgotten
my brain is very cloudy today …..
saw my GP this morning. I’m suffering terribly with the side effects of new medication. My whole body is exhausted. I’m on slow go with everything. My doctor was concerned and told me to stop those meds. My BP was 170/110 very high. So am on extra Med to bring it down.
I could hardly talk to him or remember what he said.
Im in bed resting. I have to record my bp readings for next four days then see him.
oh snd he said it was fine for me to pay on Thursday.
my body is so exhausted. Not eating or drinking much. Just want to sleep.

Sorry to hear of your situation @BlueBay Sounds like you are very tired. I find drinking cold water helps me when I'm really tired and you're probably wise to rest in bed.
Take care and reach out to your supports if you need to. Sending you strength 💝

Sorry you are feeling so 'blahhh' @BlueBay . Hoping your BP settles and you start to feel better soon. Also ... really pleased (but not surprised) that there was no problem in you paying GP on Thursday. 😊
Peanut butter sandwich .. yum! Smooth or crunchy? 😄
Sending much love and care your way dear BlueBay. 💖

Hi @BlueBay
It's normal to feel exhausted after you have had a viral infection - and we don't really know how having COVID has affected you - it's different for everyone apparently
And it's a very warm day - I went to the shops to post a card to my grand-daughter for her birthday later this week - I was totally done in when I got back - I like hot weather but I am getting older - I know how old - I have to take it easy on hot days - I would imagine you would need to take it easy after a viral infection too
And then there is the change of medication - I have been through that experience recently and I was so tired I couldn't breathe through the mask when I was at the doctors' clinic and had my blood tested for anaemia - it was normal
Take it easy and drink plenty of water and peanut butter sandwiches is fine for a light lunch and going for a swim this evening sounds pretty good to me.
You need to give yourself time - you would give other people time to recover I am sure - go easy on yourself
Sending good thoughts

Rest as much as you can @BlueBay
Not nice feeling so exhausted etc.
Drink lots of water, if you can.
