....round and round and round......

Well it finally caught up with me....the last two and a half weeks of sleepless nights....hundreds of miles driving......stress and strain.....not eating properly......drinking too much.

Woken at 3.00 this morning with excruciating pain in my left foot....the gout is back with a vengeance....by 6.00 the foot was like a rugby ball....no way I could go to work.
Sat all day with the leg raised...paracetemol and inbuprofen......the swelling is starting to go down now.

Dad skyped me this afternoon.......trying again to plead the case for the trouble making family member.......the same conversation we've had several times in the last 3 weeks.......still thinking she's only a naughty kid.....had to stop him in his tracks by telling him more of the details.....he's still not seeing the picture and the damage she has caused and can still cause.......conversation lasted 46 minutes and didn't end well.....he doesn't (want to) understand why his own daughter won't put herself in a position where she can be accused of things again...or why I will never again trust the trouble maker...he thinks if he makes thinly veiled threats about the future we will all change our minds and welcome her back....he can't see that she has said and done too much to ever be trusted again....and she is still making allegations and accusations....it was my turn this week accused of stealing cash from his wallet....he knows I have never done that....he heard her make the accusation over the phone....and he still thinks it's just a harmless prank......so I just said goodbye and disconnected the call.

So no more....I'm not engaging again......I'm not discussing the situation with him again.......I'm not explaining it to him again...........the future will bring what it brings.
