They must realise how anxious people get waiting. I hope you are seen at 2pm. How are you managing?

I'm watching a series on Netflix. Trying to distract but I still can't stop looking at the time!

Hello again peoples. This is hard to write because I am spasming so much! Hugs to all.

I had 2 ebay parcels come today Lindsay but they came with the postman and fitted through my letterbox. Am waiting for another ebay parcel but it hasn't been sent yet.

Hope you're in ward round now Beckie. Fingers crossed everything's going ok.

Hi Tamo, does anything help the spasms? Don't be pushing yourself.

Nice post is good :) I got a brown letter today and was terrified but it was just about cold weather payment.

I am not in ward round. Thank you
I doubt it's going to be ok. Will update other thread

Sending hugs if ok.

Thank you <3

Someone just put my delivery through my letter box. He was pushing it slowly and quietly at first like he didn't want to be caught!

I'm on lamotrogine which is meant to help but we're titrating.

That's weird lindsay!

Yeah lamotrigine has to be titrated quite slowly. I'm on it too

My spasms have gone!

That's good

How has your day been? Looking forward to bed? I know I am.

I am definitely looking forward to bed. Going to get in the meds queue now before too many people get there

Good idea

Had meds!
Bedtime now I think.
Good night

Me too, sweet dreams.

Morning everyone, how are you all?

Morning lindsay
I'm annoyed
Was woken up by someone shouting :plain:

How are you?

Hi osc, I am ok thanks, how are you?

Sorry your sleep was interrupted Cacoethes.

Thank tamo
I hate this place
How are you?

EDIT: Just realised you said how you were *facepalm*
Have you got much planned for today?

Um l am having a shower.....

That’s good!

I had a shower last night. I hate the showers here. They are so crap!

Do you have your own shower or do you have to share?

We have to share unfortunately!
And the showers are really awful. Takes ages to warm up, floods the floor and basically no water pressure.

The showers in my local ward turn on and off in bursts and then just trickle for a while they're so annoying.

Same with the showers here
It is incredibly annoying!

What are you doing today? Avoiding the shower?

Not a lot.
Watching Netflix. Trying to block out someone who hasn't stopped shouting for a cigarette literally all day.
Definitely avoiding the shower! I showered last night so don't need one today.
I'll do some washing tomorrow.

How about you? Up to much?

The rooms in ours have en suites, big plus!; but they flood too.

My godmother rang :)

Lucky!
I don't know why they can't be raised like I normal shower would be. I guess because people may have disabilities and they have to cater to everyone.
One ward in the county has en suites. And only like 10 beds. Here has 18 beds.

That's good tamo :)

We have 2 wards, both with 19 beds

There are 3 female wards in the county. One is closing for a deep clean soon though apparently. So everyone will probably have to go to London as we're under the east London trust.
There are like 5 or 6 male wards. All with en suites!
So unfair!

Ours are mixed sex which I don't like. Oh, and there're an OAP and PICU wards.

Our female picu is in London. The male one is in this county.
I didn't like it when all the wards were mixed. But thats been phased out now.

Evening folks. =)

Hey np!
How are you?

Hey Beckie. I'm ok... gearing up for a food shop.

How're you?

Ah the dreaded food shop!
Hope it goes well!

I'm feeling quite physically anxious for literally no reason which is odd.
But other than that I'm ok thanks!

Can you do something distracting/calming?

Yeah, the dreaded shop. It's been nearly two weeks since I last went though so my cupboards are literally empty. No bread, no biscuits, no cheese, no butter...!

I've been trying that. Just had some lorazepam which should help

Oh no! Really does need doing then!

I hope it helps.

Yeah, totally been getting the shakes from cheese withdrawals.

Hello all.

Thanks np
Just been out for a walk too which has also helped

I bet! Cheese is life

Hi Dawn

Hi Beckie glad your walk helped.

Thank you

How are you?

I am ok thanks Beckie.

Good good

My blood pressure is high again
Probably down to the anxiety

Food shop complete. =)

Boo to anxiety. =( Hope you can have some restful sleep.
