The 'I need a distraction' thread.

[tiptoes]

I'm quite anxious and unsettled today.

Do you have much longer to wait?

[chinahorse]

Oh that sucks. Anything you can do to help settle yourself?

Technically my appointment is now but I think they are running late.

[tiptoes]

I popped out for some fresh air earlier and am now listening to a white noise playlist whilst I try and make some headway with my to-do list.

Ah that is rubbish!! I hope they don't keep you hanging around for too long.

[chinahorse]

Sounds like you are doing all the right things. I hope they begin to help soon.

Not fair a guy who arrived way after me is being seen before me and my appointment was 15 mins ago.

[not_so_insig]

I woke up with severe back pain. Nothing I tried could relieve the pain. In the end I ended up taking 2 lots of painkillers and some deep heat. I am in some pain but I consider it moderate rather than severe. It took me twice as long to get dressed and even then I had to use my sock aid because I couldn't bend because of the pain.

[tiptoes]

Me too Lillie, me too.

Back pain is the worst, maybe a hot water bottle/wheat bag would help?

I hope you have been seen by now Lillie!

How is everyone doing?

[Cacoethes]

Hopefully you'll have been seen by now Lillie!

I'm home now thank god! I have some sort of infection so got anti biotics. They were thinking about keeping me in but thankfully decided not to!!

How is everyone else?

[[Luna]]

I'm glad you're home now Beckie. I hope the antibiotics work.

I'm running a much needed bath. Thinking of doing some drawing afterwards.
What are your plans for the rest of the day?

[chinahorse]

Hope they kick in and you feel better soon beckie.

Yay for a nice bath Luna.

Dawn I hope the pain has eased right now.

[[Luna]]

I am clean!!

How are you Lillie? How did it go at the hospital?

[chinahorse]

Woo hoo!

It went well its mostly taken. There's a few dodgey areas but nothing out of the ordinary. Im allowed to go back to the cassel as it's only dressing changes now.

[chinahorse]

I've just had to spend like 20 quid on dressings though. :( cos my donor is coming off.

[[Luna]]

Yay about it taking well and going back to the Cassel. Not so much about the donor site. I find the donor site more painful than the actual graft.

[chinahorse]

Mines not actually been painful bar last night. And I think a lot of tgat is the dressing moving about.

[[Luna]]

Possibly. I once had a dressing stuck to my donor site for a week (I went to Greece), it hurt so bad when they had to try and pull the dressing off. I almost cried.

I was just browsing Deviantart and I saw a photo and thought 'That man's back looks odd' so I clicked on it and it was a vagina!!

[chinahorse]

lol Luna thats hilarious you thought it was a back!

[chinahorse]

I'm knackered now. But at least I was able to pick up some decent food. Probably why I'm tired first tme eating proper nutritious food.

[[Luna]]

Dear god, I was not expecting that!

Wahey for food, what did you get?
