Following on from a long term condition I suffer with, I've been advised many a time by my doctors not to be lifting heavy items etc
I've seen a doctor this week due to having some servere pains, and he's told me I'm not to go lifting or moving anything heavy.
My mum was with me, and she mentioned to the doc how I'm always lifting bales of woodshavings, hay, rabbit runs, sliding hutch blocks/hutches about for cleaning etc. My doc was mortified, and told me this has to stop for my own health.
Since this most recent appointment and advice, my family are coming down on me like a tonne of bricks, with regards the buns (it doesn't help with the 2 extra I've started fostering). They are concerned at my condition (which admittedly does have serious implications ), and are advising me to reconsider my life-style...which does strongly mean the buns
I have been living the past few years with 'blinkers' on with regards my condition....which is daft, but when you don't want to face something, you tend to 'block it out'
I'm getting a lot of 'advice' from my immediate family, and now extended family, on what I should 'do for the best'. As much as I can see their point, and of course, I am seriously concerned for my own health......I am mortified at the prospect of having to give up any of my babies
From this recent doctors visit, I am now losing a one man fighting battle
I've had so many sleepless nights, particulary this week...I'm being to lose the will
Just to add....there is no one to help with the cleaning or maintainance of my animals. My family all work full time (long hours).
The buns are purely my responsibility. If I am unable to clean and care for them...then no one is
I can't go out to see them/bring them in without family members constantly 'reminding' me of what the doctor said.
To say I'm feeling gutted/mortified, is a huge understatement
