She is fine Kathy she is no worry she has moved out of home and has been working at a restaurant for 6 years she is now Assistant Manager it is a busy place so bit stressful for her at times. She is quite shy which surprises us she is doing well in that environment. Am I right in saying it is...

Thanks Kathy and all the best for your son as well! It is a small world you never know:wink: He is my only son he is 22 and my daughter is 24. He has been in the airforce for 4 years this will be his first overseas trip and he is so looking forward to it! Jen

It could have been the forum that triggered her Kathy? It could have been a number of things I hope she gets through this episode ok! Jen

My boy will be leaving early Feb as well Kath we probably shouldnt go in to much detail as the area they are going to on here? They are both in different Defence Forces I think my son will only be with the Aussies I am not sure yet? Jen

My 22 year old son rang me last night he is going to Afghanistan early next year! He is looking forward to the whole adventure and I am proud of him! But I will be worried sick and I hope he doesnt come back messed in the head like his Dad did from an overseas duty! Jen

Good to see that you are keeping yourself occupied Jods! I am busy lately havent been in here as much as I used to! Jen

Yep Kathy he has done clinics he sees docs he doesnt seem to follow through with any sort of things that are suggested to him. He has been shown breathing exercises relaxation etc does nothing to help himself. Even with the diabeties he has stopped walking riding and is eating junk again. It...

Hi Brad welcome to the forum you will find a lot of useful info on here! Yep I know medication has a lot to do with the tiredness but he is not a nice person without the meds? Its hard for me to see him so dependent on his tablets. I struggle to take a headache tablet unless I really need to...

Hubby seems to be going backward again I know when I am at work he stays in bed till lunchtime I just rang him then to remind him of a docs appointment and he was still in bed 1pm? He is good for a few days then goes downhill we are having a bit of stressful time with our business with...

Yes Tammy you are doing well to learn what you can I hope Alex appreciates what you are doing for him maybe later he will? As for the doctor getting annoyed with all your questions! Too bad you ask as many questions as you like dont let him brush you off!!

Thats an understatement Bec!:rofl: Its hard for me not to arc up and have an argument with him when he has these mood changes but I know if I upset him he will get depressed and we cant afford for that to happen! When he asks me why do I have the shits I usually say no I am ok? When I want to...

Hi things have been going really well for the last week with hubby and I we had a talk last week just to clear the air about a few things and it seemed to help! Well he went and saw his Pysch yesterday and he came and saw me at work and said the Doc was happy with him but I could tell by his...

You say a lot of things in your reply Evie that make a lot of sense! Maybe because you took risks and got through alive has made you realise that you have a second chance! I dont believe in fate and all that! I think you are an amazing girl and as you said it will be your choice how you want...

All the best Jods he is lucky to have you there for him!

Good idea come back when you are ready! Take it easy! Jen

Tammy is there a Vietnam Vets association or Vet Affairs in Newcastle surely there is! I would go and see someone and get some info you are entitled to do that you dont have to talk about Alex in particular ( as it is confident) just get some support from them I think you will find they will...

Hang in there Kathy you are entitled to have difficult days! I hope everything is as ok as it can be for you!
