Hi,Bit of along time to since I done my last journal entry, have been okay i guess trying to make the best of my time as im off work untill my legs abit better (and the doc lets me back!) Been trying to learn spanish so im at least making the most of my time, Ive learnt over 100 words just dont know how to construct them in a conversation.Feeling like some friends who i thought were friends really arent or maybe im just being to defensive, I went to the pub near where i live today, my friends brother came hes quite a succesfull guy and ive known him around 24 years since i was 2 as we lived in the same street as kids, i used to be bullied by him and some other guys in my road when i was a kid and i had some problems.Things got better as we got older and I stand up to myself these alot more these days, but today he was a idiot again. I'm in a cast with my leg im on crutches he kept asking me to drop a bag off at his mums house on the way back as i couldnt come out with them on the night out, i said to him look im on crutches and its a struggle as it is, he kept asking me and i said i couldnt do it, then i thought the subject was dropped untill they were leaving to go and he asked me again i said im not doing it so dont ask me, he got really angry and said dont talk rude to him or he would break my other leg i asked him why he was making a big deal out of something so stupid and his brother said Come on rich you can take it to my mums house for us, i said i cant whys he brought the bag out anyway, i said what would u have done if i wasnt here tonight he said its only £3 cakes and he would have thrown it away. My other mate matt stuck up for me sayin that he was on crutches only last week and it is alot tougher then it looks.we then shock hands and i went home, im trying not to be pissed off but i hate feeling like ppl are trying to take advantage of me, or maybe im being paranoid to be honest i could have managed to take the bag but i just dont think that i should have been asked to do that.I cant play football(soccer) for 6 months so i booked a place with the money ive saved i booked a place with a physcollogyst, still got some problems i think, and when i saw someone last year (for free on nhs) it made it easy talking to someone neutral so i see how it goes i have an appointment on wednesday.Gonna read a book and go to bed.

I\'m sorry you had such a shitty time, hun! I\'m SO glad you stuck up for yourself, though! I honestly don\'t think I would have done that! I hope you have a peaceful and relaxing evening! Please take great care of yourself and yours! BIG peace to you!

That was rude of them for trying to take advantage of you...glad you stuck up for yourself though. Sorry to hear about all the inconveniences of having a broken leg, but at least you are doing constructive things to make up for other things you can\'t do. Hope everything else is going well for you. Thanks for being encourageing to me. Hugs!
im so sorry that this \"friend\" isnt very considerate...im sorry, but when somebody is on crutches, ur supposed to be carrying stuff for them...not the other way around
hope you feel better soon, you don\'t owe him nothing, can\'t he see you are on crutches
Rich, continue to take care. rest up, so that you heal fully. i\'m so sorry, you had a rough day. Things will get better. one day at a time, healing process taking it\'s course. god bless you my ds brother. my thoughts and prayers, are with you
