Not a hangover, feels like I am getting a cold.
I rarely drink at the best of times, but certainly not silly enough to drink when taking pain meds.
Have also been a bit slack with my Vit D supplementation so that will also be a factor. Having some hard conversations with family members is also a sure way to bring down a mood, I know it is good to have funeral arrangements in place before the time comes but it is still hard. My mothers partner is organising things because none of us are likely to be functioning well when the time comes but everything is brought into sharp focus when you have a serious discussion about pall bearers.

I have been out of it most of the day, Doc phoned yesterday to check on shoulder prior to my next face to face appointment tomorrow, have to take the pain meds 3 times a day leaving my brain all fuzzy. I am so glad bub is easy to deal with compared to many toddlers, I would not want to deal with a little terror when I am struggling to think straight. Doc is likely to organise another injection into the shoulder and hope for a better outcome. Steroid injections can be a bit hit and miss even when they are US guided.
Doc changed my painkillers and anti inflammatory meds today, and was referred for another injection.
Despite the pain and mental funk I have been in I need to pull myself together, get my eating back on track (things tend to slip when a lot of bad shit happens) and try to get some cardio in, even If I am not lifting.
Although there is a lot of bad shit happening I have to look at the positives
I have a happy healthy 18 month old toddler
I have a great Husband
I am starting Uni
I have a couple of close friends but don't tolerate BS from others
Despite my Injuries I am still an elite lifter.

new meds don't agree with me very well, feeling irritable and anxious, did not sleep last night, but pain is less at the moment. Hopefully side effect will settle down. At least I am not groggy and falling asleep during the day with this one.
passed another couple of unit in the FIFA medical diploma , on track to finish it before uni starts.

Corned beef is cooking in the crock pot for tonight, to be served with cauliflower and white sauce. The sauce is not exactly keto friendly but it is a family meal and it is my choice how much sauce I have after I make it.
The good thing about corned beef is it makes great cold meat the next day, if any survives the horde of locusts which are my hubby and youngest son lol

Sorry to hear about your mum and the fact that you are also unwell. It’s hard trying to cope with one of those things, never mind both at once!
I like your list of positives though, it’s good to remember that there’s always something to be thankful for.
Take care of yourself. I read somewhere recently that lying in bed, even if not sleeping, really does a lot for recovery as well.

The beef I have cooking is from our usual butcher who sources local meat and it has been cut from the area close to the rump so should be better than supermarket beef making the extra expense worth it.
I don't know why I am so anxious about getting my timetable sorted out tomorrow, could be because I am keen to get started ?
It will be interesting being in a class of youngsters not long out of high school lol especially because I have kids older than most kids (young adults) starting Uni this year.
Despite the side effect my shoulder is feeling a lot better so getting back to doing some of my own training is looking possible, however after a couple of changes at the gym I have started to seriously work out what it will cost to set up a gym at home, at this stage it looks like costing about $5000 to get minimal equipment. I know I have posted pics on here before of my home gym, it was only set up for light stuff and a bit of cardio but I need commercial grade equipment for my lifting and to be able to coach at home.
some costs include a bench press bench for $1700 and a minimal set of plates for $1200 which won't be enough to max out. add to that a commercial power cage, flat bench and materials to construct a competition standard lifting platform.
Setting up a home gym is sooooooo expensive compared to gym membership.

I guess public gyms wouldn't exist otherwise. Although most people don't need the professional gear you need, of course. Have fun on your first day of uni!
yep, you see people complain about how expensive gym memberships are, but when you stop and think about the costs involved with not just setting up but running a gym most memberships work out to be good value.
