Freedom!!
Got in and out in 3 hours which under the average wait time :)
Test results mostly good, am on antibiotics as there is a chance I have an infection.
Very happy to be home. And now about to have a well deserved rest.
That's good, Jen. Hope the infection clears up quickly. Enjoy your rest.
I just tried to use one of those split end trimmer things that are all over Facebook. Think I might need someone else to do it for me. Got a bit bored and stopped so my hair may look weird but it seemed to do something.
I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.
Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.
I have not heard of such strange split end removing devices. Mind you beyond brushing, washing and blow drying I leave all hair stuff to hair dresser. Though that does mean hair sometimes has to wait a year between being properly look after because I keep saying I will get round to it XD
May I suggest two mirrors set looking into each other. My friend who trims his own hair with clippers uses a two mirror set up to help him see his whole head. Know you aren't shaving yours but visibility sounds useful for this strange split end device!
You would have heard of it if you were on Facebook more!
Fair enough. I think quitting Facebook doom scroll and just popping on once or twice a week has been good for me though :)

I am also home. And sunburnt XD
Was pretty stressful times but thankfully wasnt having a full on attack which meant things were less scary than sometimes. Same Day Emergency Care Unit waiting room is definitely nicer than A&E waiting room, there was a fridge of sandwiches, free tea and coffee, a TV showing daytime itv and people regularly checking onyou. But was very hot as had no windows or air con, the x-ray department was much better ventilated!
Oh no to the sunburn did you wear sunscreen? If you can get some aloe Vera best stuff for sun burn and make sure you apply a lot to your recent tattoo as I think sunburn can affecting tattoo healing when it's a relatively new one.
I have tried to nap but antibiotics rudely gave me indigestion! Might just lie propped up with eyes closed and listen to something.
Your SDEC sounds a lot better than the one i was at last time! It was so ghetto. There was air con but it was incredibly noisy and also dripping. So i probably have legionnaires disease now XD
The one i was at at another hospital was better.
I have some aloe vera moisturising stuff which has helped cool everything down!
Luckily the location of my tattoo has mostly avoided the sunburn! But I'm still putting cocoa butter on twice a day so that should help.
Ugh! Med side effects are never fun!
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
Same Day Emergency Care looked like it had been done up recently. Last time I went a couple of years back it was a slightly different section of AMU and not as presentable, well organised or well stocked. But then everything was a bit shuffled around in the pandemic so they could have Covid only sections. And the doctors room did have air con, Doc said she picked the room especially because it's one of the few that has it.
Lucky you had some aloe Vera stuff in. And glad to hear beautiful dragonfly is mostly unscathed.
Nope and Iam on the third new med in 2 weeks, first iron, then steroids and now antibiotics. My belly is not best pleased
The one i went to before in S was a brand new building and quite fancy! But still no free tea and coffee, which is the most important thing!
Though in the A&E dept, they came round with a hot drinks trolley!
We should collaborate on an emergency care review book XD
Ugh i bet! My stomach hated iron and antibiotics
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
Ooh la la. S is so fancy XD
But yes free hot drinks very important this is Britain!
Lol I have only really been to the one same day emergency care down here In southwest and then one up where I grew up in Bucks but that was over a decade ago. Been to a few more A&E's round the country though... I am accident prone, mental and asthmatic it's a fun combo honest! XD
Steroids aren't great for stomach either. And Ideally I need to take each of them 2 hours apart from each other. Steroids and antibiotics with food, iron with orange juice but no food it's a logistical nightmare!
I agree with the cuppa in a crisis bit, very important, although I can come up with that one without ringing anyone! But not with the crisis teams advice to take baths. I like a bath but with non epileptic seizures it's not the vibe in a crisis. The shocked silence when I told the crisis team I didnt have a bath only shower back in the uni days was classic though XD
I have luckily avoided A&E abroad, although have had asthma attacks abroad resolved them with my meds and was surrounded by trained first aiders because they happened when I was in the scouts. Done A&E nearest to where I live too many times to count though :p
Yeah i always tell them that i can't take baths because of seizures!
I was feeling particularly petulant one evening and said 'DO YOU WANT ME TO DROWN?? DO YOU???'
My mum had her first anaphylaxic shock in spain last year. She told my step dad to drive her to a pharmacy.....while her throat was closing up...*facepalm*
Take it easy! And enioy if you do role-play!
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
Well mental health professionals rarely have a sense of humour about such things....
Well at least it worked out as insane as her thinking was. Hopefully they weren't far from the pharmacy where I assume the pharmacist called a ambulance!
Roleplaying is so atmospheric and intense. We have a infinity machine that will allow us to be in right place right time to stop the fall of the universe to the ancient aliens but it needs a sacrifice to work and we think needs to be the right one of us players for the sacrifice.
