I know pain al to well myself, albeit not because of a bad back. But it is good you have a special designed chair, it should indeed help to cope with it better.Ailsa wrote:Lol - my computer chair is the most comfortable place in the house, plus it is the closest place I can be to get to the bathroom which makes it an ideal place to be when I am under the weatherBecause I have a bad back my family gave me this specially designed chair to support me and help me keep my body straight ^_^
I hope you feel better soon too.Ailsa wrote:Lol - my computer chair is the most comfortable place in the house, plus it is the closest place I can be to get to the bathroom which makes it an ideal place to be when I am under the weather
I can empathize with the back problem, although my computer chair is the most uncomfortable one in the house...
and doesn't help it. I need a new one someday when I can afford it.
Yeah there is as far as i know only about 1 page with Drow related mods, but they do not jump out. I am no expert on Drows, but i do know them as dangerous enemies from the Icewind Dale and Baldurs Gate and Neverwinter Nights saga's. Maybe one day a mod author will turn up who is also a huge fan of the Forgotten Realm world.Ailsa wrote:Sadly there appear to be no really good mods to have a Drow character. I know, I know they are not native to Tamriel but I have loved them since D'rzzt (?) There is a social forum I frequent where my avatar is dressed as a Drow and one of my friends has fallen for him in a big way and has made me a doll of a female Drow and sent it to me from Canada (so sweet). She has even started reading some of the on-line books about them which I have never done.
Well Drow are very sneaky so that should fit quit well i guess.Ailsa wrote:Using the Birthsigns mod I have adapted a Wood Elf to be a passable Drow (for my imagination at least) so that I can take screen shots to send to my friend
That is also a possibility.Maigrets wrote:Actually considering how many race mods there are for Oblivion it's surprising there aren't more for Skyrim. Maybe it's not as easy to do or something.
Apparently the abscess in July let this bacterial infection into my foot and ankle. Officially I should be in Intensive Care with a drip but the local hospital is being investigated over several fatal cross-infections so my doctor decided that I would be safer at home 
Hmm.Officially I should be in Intensive Care with a drip but the local hospital is being investigated over several fatal cross-infections so my doctor decided that I would be safer at home
I don't know what to say to that. I was a nurse for over 30 years and it's a horrifying thought to be safer at home than hospital, but I've seen things over the years that make me think the same way. Cross infections especially fatal ones, should never happen..at all, or extremely rarely. Accidents happen, but that's bad management on many levels. So am i.Maigrets wrote:Sorry to hear you're having more problems piled on top of everything you're already dealing with.
I'm not sure what you mean.Ailsa wrote:I don't understand how to do that Maigrets *sad and feeling stupid*
No need to fell sad or stupid and I didn't intend that. If it's about what I wrote in the spoiler tags...I sent you a PM.When using the full editor, just select the text you want in spoiler tags and then click on the spoiler button.Ailsa wrote:I don't know how to do spoiler tags here ^_^
Tags aren't actually what I was asking for as I explained in the PM, but let's leave it at that for now.Ailsa wrote:I don't know how to do spoiler tags here ^_^
As far as spoiler tags you can also type This, i realize it is easier to say then to do but that is what is necessary. If you constantly feel down and depressed, then sooner or later your body will start to react to that state of mind and then it will take longer to heal. Since 4 years i suffer from Erysipelas, and in those 4 years i hat 7 attacks of it. After the sixth time in January 2012 it took about 2 and a half months to heal, and because it was the sixth time in about 3 years i got really down about that and it took a long time to get over it. Colleagues, friends and family helped me by keeping my spirit up, by telling me to keep thinking about the positive things in my life. Again that is not easy to do at first but it will get easier sooner then you think.MasterAub wrote:courageAilsa wrote:Thank you Fessels.

Well that was not exactly why i mentioned that but thank you, right back at you.Ailsa wrote:Thank you both.
That looks horrendous Fessels, and I am delighted that you recovered so well the 7th time *offers hugs*.

al right, why can they not come up with medication that has less side effects. ( said by a non pharmacist mind you all. ) I know all about depression. I've been suicidal a few times, a few years ago was the worst partly because of job stress after a back injury at work, and other issues and partly because it's familial. I also live alone albeit with my dog who is more of a support to me than my human family, but that's another story. The first thing a general practitioner wants to do is hand out the pills mainly because I don't think they really know how to handle depression and I never got on well with therapy. Meds made me feel like a zombie and I lost all interest in anything but staring into space basically which kind of defeats the whole purpose. They say it will get better as the meds kick in but it never seemed to and some of the drugs make things worse. I managed to handle it on my own because like you I have no support, but I used my blog to write about it a few times which was cathartic in some ways even if no-one read it. I think, for me just recognizing that I was depressed helped me slowly climb out of the black hole, which sometimes isn't clear until it gets bad, especially when you're on your own.Ailsa wrote:Thank you both.

Maigrets you are one of the best of the good-guys so don't worry at all. I have enjoyed knowing you across several forums over the years and hope to continue to do so for a long time to come
Update on my condition - I need another month at least of medication but progress is being made slowly. One of the long list of side effects is depression and I am seriously intolerant of all the treatments for depression, which means I have to find a day when I am ready to jump into the black hole and find the light on the other side. I have done it many times and I will again, however it would help if I didn't live alone and my friends and family had less busy lives - but they are happy and I want them to stay that way
