Hello,
I had appt with GP on Monday, it went really well.
She seems to think that I am suffering with depression, although I have menopause symptoms too. She has put me on Anti Depressants, Trazadone 100mg to start, she says they have a sedative in them that will help me to get some sleep. I see her again in 4 weeks time & she asked me to think about having a 3 month trial of HRT.
I have slept really well, waking up a couple of times instead of the usual between 6 & 14 times. I feel a bit groggy in the morning, but then ok. So far so good.
I have had a tough time recently. On December 20th last year, my husband was driving home from work at 2 am & a lady flagged him down, he stopped, & she could hardly breath, he got out of his van, the next thing a couple came & the male attacked my husband with an iron bar, & luckily 2 men came along, & held the man, so my husband could get away, if they hadn't, we don't think he would be alive today. My poor husband was taken to A & E, I got a call from the Police, & i went straight to the hospital, still not sure how I managed to drive, I was worried sick. When I saw him it was a shock, he was grey & just cried when he saw me. They gave him pain relief & x ray, they said his shoulder was broken, & he should return to the Fracture Clinic 2 days later to see a consultant. He couldn't even stand up. Anyway I had to get a wheelchair & a sick bowl & head for the car park, it was a nightmare, he was screaming with pain, I drove most of the way home at 10 mile an hour with Hazards on. When we went back to the Fracture Clinic they booked him in for MRI scan on Christmas Eve, & he saw the consultant straight after. He said the shoulder was fractured but also the bone was shattered & would need a metal plate & pins. The operation was booked for New Years Eve. The op went as well as they expected, he now as physio & hydrotherapy, but he is still in severe pain. The surgeon says he may have to have another op (but keyhole surgery this time) to release the scar tissue. Our world as been turned upside down, it's been terrible, but we will get through it eventually, I hope.
Well I'm so sorry ladies to blurt all this out, but even though I am knew to the site, I feel like I can open up to you all, & it makes me feel better.
So thank you x
