The 'I need a distraction' thread.

I love grapes!
I don't get them a lot though because they are expensive.
Glad your visits were good!
Psychs are very rarely fun tbh.

I had blood tests yesterday. I have double checked what the nurse took the blood for but only the full blood count result has come back? They were also meant to test for electrolytes and something else. Either they've messed it up again, the results are taking longer or the nurse submitted the wrong bloods. Idk.

Morning everyone

[tamobhuuta]

Morning, how are you?

[Cacoethes]

Still feeling ill.
It's not covid though. I tested twice, just to be sure!
Think I'm just run down. Or a seasonal thing like a cold.

How are you?

[tamobhuuta]

I'm ok. I've got my dad, godmother and L visiting me so I will be busy.
I hope you feel better soon x

[Cacoethes]

You're so lucky to have so many visits!
When I'm in hospital, no one visits because it's too far away.
I hope you have a nice visit!

Thank you x

[tamobhuuta]

I'm very lucky :)

[Cacoethes]

I'm glad you have lots of visits. I think it really helps :)

[tamobhuuta]

It reminds me I've got a real life to go back to and people who love me.

[Cacoethes]

It's definitely always good to be reminded of that
Hospital sometimes feels very isolating.
I usually end up referring to the outside world as 'real life'

Are you up to anything this afternoon?

[Cacoethes]

Not really.
Just been to asda. Bumped into my neighbour both on the way there and on the way back! (She has arthritis so walks very slowly)
I have an amazon delivery coming too. Finally i will have my coffee!
Oh and also my 4th covid jab. The seasonal booster. Might pop into work after that seeing as it's next door!

How about you? Do they do groups in your hospital?

[tamobhuuta]

The only activity is colouring. I'm going to watch doctors.

[one_step_closer]

Hi everyone. I hope you're all looking after yourselves.

Would you be allowed the jab if you're not feeling well, Beckie?

It's annoying when hospital doesn't have things on to keep you occupied. I hope you enjoy(ed) your visit and watching Doctors, Tamo.

[Cacoethes]

I'm not a fan of colouring really

Hey lindsay

I did tell them i wasn't feeling too great but i said I'd tested negative for covid twice so they said it's ok.
Popped into work afterwards for a coffee as it's just next door. Had a nice chat with some colleagues. I actually can't wait to go back on Monday!

How are you doing lindsay?

[tamobhuuta]

I enjoyed doctors :) and had a good visit with L. Now I'm filling time until my tablet's charged and I can go to bed.

[Cacoethes]

That's good :)

I have plant based spaghetti bolognase for dinner!

[tamobhuuta]

Ooo tastey!

[Cacoethes]

It was very nice! I think i preferred it to a meat spaghetti bolognase!

[tamobhuuta]

Good morning. Am I first here?
