For weeks people have been telling me, that i have to put my feet up,i need a down stairs wash room also to get extra support.This week i have listened to all the people and i thought about all what they have said and now after the week i have had with being in agony walking and standing i have got to the stage where as i have to agree.I have applied for a grant for a downstairs wash room,which they tell me will take four to eight months.As for put my feet up on a chair while sitting,well thats easier said then done.As for extra support,well that is also getting sorted out.This way they will not keep on is the way i look at it,i know they mean well,but it crazes me.

Nag, nag nag that is what I have been experiencing also. There is something about the world these days that is making everyone so uptight and frustrated that they feel the need to pester and make everyone around them just as uptight as them.
I say tell them thank you I will take that into consideration and let the world complain and you take it with a grain of salt.
You may have a lot more other important things going on right now to be tolerating so many petting complaints from so many other people.

I am thoroughly confused why should you put your feet up? need a wash room downstairs?And why should you not have what you want ? Is there any health problem that makes it necessary for you to have extra support and other things that you mentioned - hope everything gets sorted out - all the best , enjoy your weekend

it happens when i told my family about my problems just like u, they told me that i have to do this and that. it makes me so dizzy and confuse, because i don't know which way is the best .
so sometimes i better keep it the problem on my own and solve it out.

I guess I would go crazy too with all the "do this or that". I know it's like that when you have a baby that people will tell you everything you need to do that you just don't care to listen anymore. Well it's good that you have the people behind to back you up for help. As for the grant thank goodness if you get it and before you know it the months will pass you by.

Thankfully the grant system is easy to sort out,an occupational therapist helps to sort that out.As we are buying our house and not renting it from the council there are a few more bits of forms to fill in.The grant is done on a means test to see if you have money that you can put towards it,then they see what benefits you get ,plus they come to you and fill it all in,so they do alot of the paper work.the husband has to find all the paper work though rather than me as i can not get to it.

I hear you I have a friend who has told me how to fix up my house and how to do it. I"m like DUH but it takes more than assumptions to get things done. Like you have see if you can get that grant, it's not an immediate fix nor is it a guaranteed fix for the situation and people don't always understand that!?!? Like we thought we could fix up our house in a jiff. Guess what within 18 mo's of us moving in I lost my job can't pay for a laundry list of things to do or get a loan if you have more debt than income. It gets so frustraiting.... even more so when they ask you if you followed their suggestion YET!

You hang in there and all will get straightened out in time.
We are alike in the fact we both don't know how to relax. I know you hurt and needing a wash room down stairs would sure help you. Maybe you get a rush on it.

I luckily don't have persistant medical problems, but there have been times that I've been down and I'm not able to get everything that I need to get done. It does nothing but stress a person out. As far as the downstairs washroom goes, I hope that they are able to push your application through so that you can have the bathroom that you so despirately need in a shorter period of time whether than after a longer period of time.

You know people who tell me that I have to do something, it will actually make me even less likely to do that. I don't like people telling me what I need to do. Perhaps they should spend a little more time figuring out what they need to do and a little less time trying to tell me what I need to do. I mean, if they advice, then go, but phrase it in a way where I don't think that you're trying to order me to do something.
It just drives me absolutely crazy when people do that. A lot of the time, I normally fire back with something like, "yeah, I also need a couple hundred million dollars to fall from the sky right into my backyard, but I don't think that's going to happen any time soon." So suggest way, but don't demand, because you're just following on deaf ears. That's just the way things work with me.

If you're asking for some suggestions to people, of course they have their own ideas so you listen to them because you're asking their opinion BUT if you don't want to then you can stop the conversation politely.

Listening shouldn't be always followed by obeying. We know best of ourselves, off course.

It is their job to give solicited/unsolicited advice, it is up to you, which of their suggestions you want to implement. It is human nature to give unsolicited advice.

The grant needs so long to be approved?!?!
WEll, at least whatever they are telling u, are all for your own good, and for your convenience ^_^ Though it might crazes u for a while, but when the ending result reaches u, everybody will be glad for u, and u will appreciate for everything they done for u ^_^

Well, you need these things done. They just care about you. Crazes me too when people tell me I have to do certain things. But it comes from caring and wanting you to be healthier, feel better, live a more productive life.

I think it will drive you crazy if you really dont want to do it. or you are just doing it because they said so. if i am in your shoes. i will do what i want and when i want to do it. they can give me suggestions but they dont need to expect that i will do what they've told me to do. and if i want their suggestion then that is the only time ill do it. and they have to respect it.
