FabSwingers.com forum: How are you?

No seriously, how are you?

People on here often say they hate when people message saying “how are you?” But what if the person asking genuinely cares and wants to know?

So, tell me, how are you? Sometimes people need to talk

This is a lovely post OP.

I am recovering well from a big operation that I had done 10 days ago. I still have a good month or so of recuperating and healing ahead of me and I am looking forward to being more mobile as each day comes.

Hope you're OK OP.

I hope you are recovering well. Glad to hear it’s all going good so far.

Yeah, I am well thank you. Was suffering yesterday but that was all self inflicted. I’m absolutely fine today and ready for the week ahead x

Keep fighting and staying strong. As much as only you can fight it, you are not alone in it all and people always there to listen and help as much as they can.

Well all I know is that no one can tell you what you can and can’t feel. We are all different

I hope the off feeling leaves you quickly and that happy feelings wins!

Exactly true! Focus on all the amazing and positive things in life but at times you still need to address the things not going well to stop them taking over down the line. Either way, hope you are well and keep up the positivity
