Depression

Pain is very hard to deal with and sometimes you are very short with ppl around you,
All I can suggest is hot /cold compress's on the painful area. As that's about the only thing I've found to give a little relief.
Asprin is a great anti inflammatory, take as directed.
Maybe High Lander could shed a bit more light on the subject.
Alcohol is not a medicine, it may make matters worse.
Chin up Clunk eh Bloke

thanks mate

I hope the specialist has some good answers for you, Clunk.

Dose up on nurofen helps me when it starts to rip through the neck and shoulders....

So how is everyone today??
I've been up and down a little.
Think I'm up for a struggle ahead though.
Just been taken Off shift for the foreseeable future. Was really liking that extra few hundred a week with the loading. Gave a nice safety net..

Up side is a little more shed time so will hopefully be able to smash out a few projects and bloody finish BenK's bbq plates!!! Lol
And I can car pool again. Only 1/3 the cost of running the old q everyday.

But my leg seems to be on the mend.
Had a small weap from the stitches thismorning when I adjusted the compression bandage, buy only bleed like I had moved the scab, not liters per minute sorta flow..

Anyway, still trying to find some sorta help with the spending issues.
I think I only just realized while surfing eBay that I'm board.
Living on the farm I always had stuff to do. Wash something, feed animals, repair vehicles or help out..
Now I have nothing.
I need hobbies, but can't find that one that clicks. I really miss the hockey, but my knees won't let that happen..
Miss the rc aeroplanes but family cost won't let me that one.

I've gone Off knife making already. Found it intriguing but didn't click with me.

So any suggestions of a cheap hobby.
I have always thought of archery and bow hunting. I did like the clay shooting back in the day.
I might contact the local archery club and see if the have a come and try day..

But still open to suggestions..

I'm glad your legs are healing, Kallen. 2 months will fly by. Take it from me, it took nearly 10-11 months for my foot to heal, after stepping into a flaming rabbit hole. What about restoring push bikes for underprivileged kids or something along that line as a hobby?

I like that idea, that is a good thought.

G'day Kallen, have you ever been into home brew mate? Not that stuff in the cans at woolies but real full mash home brewing, its a bloody good hobby to have and for a handy bloke like yourself it doesn't have to cost a fortune, pretty much all the equipment can be home made so there's another hobby right there, build your own home brewery then make the beer than get pissed. Win win win.

Good luck with whatever hobbies you find mate.
