Oh and my Facebook is semi working now. I asked before because I removed my Instagram account from there (don't use it and I kept on getting annoying notifications) and wondered if that was the cause.

Cacoethes 05-03-2024 06:28 PM

Fb is back

I'm ok. At my granddad's wife's house.
It's kinda hard being here because last time i was here was when he was here. Many emotions.

one_step_closer 05-03-2024 07:01 PM

I hope the CT scan is clear, Jen.

I hope you can get some comfort from being there too, Beckie.

long road 05-03-2024 07:20 PM

Well at A&E and already have a bay in minors. Doctors are debating if I need CT scan or not. Randomly had an ECG and just waiting to find out if I need scan or not.

long road 05-03-2024 08:34 PM

Doctors decided against CT, consultant came and saw me and says he thinks it's concussion. Get plenty of rest and it will get better on its own eventually. Just got home so pretty quick visit to A&E got there about 16:40 home by 19:30.

Cacoethes 05-03-2024 09:08 PM

I'm back.
Sorry i haven't caught up. Exhausted

Cacoethes 06-03-2024 06:31 AM

Morning everyone

not_so_insig 06-03-2024 08:58 AM

Morning Beckie how are you?

Cacoethes 06-03-2024 09:02 AM

Morning dawn
I am not feeling well today

How are you?

not_so_insig 06-03-2024 09:07 AM

Oh dear I hope you are better soon.

Apart from being annoyed I am awake so early (been awake nearly an hour now) I am semi ok.

Have you got any plans for today?

Cacoethes 06-03-2024 09:16 AM

Thank you

Getting up early is annoying! Makes the day so much longer

I was going to go out driving and have a driving lesson, but i don't feel well enough to safely drive. Which is disappointing because i really enjoy it.
I think we're going to costco later though

Any plans for you?

not_so_insig 06-03-2024 09:23 AM

I am meeting a friend for coffee later and have my parents visiting later. Normally they come on a Tuesday but my dad had an dentist appointment yesterday so wasn't sure if his face would be numb and therefore unable to drink and eat. So they decided it would be best if they came a day later. Plus I have bin night tonight and it's ordinary bin day this week. Fingers crossed nobody will nick my box this week. Oh and wash and dry my hair.

Cacoethes 06-03-2024 09:30 AM

Sounds like a decent day

not_so_insig 06-03-2024 09:33 AM

Yes a semi busy day. Enough for me to cope with.

Cacoethes 06-03-2024 09:36 AM

That's good

My day was meant to be busy, but i am not well enough for busy

long road 06-03-2024 10:37 AM

Morning Everyone!

Hope your day goes well Dawn.

Not being well enough for busy sucks, sending hugs if you would like them Beckie.

I am feeling unwell too. But considering I have concussion that does make sense.

one_step_closer 06-03-2024 11:09 AM

Morning peoples.

Sorry you're not feeling well, Beckie and Jen. I hope you feel better soon.

Hope you have a good day, Dawn.

tamobhuuta 06-03-2024 11:23 AM

Morning everyone. Sorry people are feeling unwell. Hugs if wanted.

There was a lovely fluffy fox on our lawn and our kitten wanted to go out and fight it. We didn't let him out, he would have been sorely beaten!

tamobhuuta 06-03-2024 11:41 AM

My meeting with the psychologist has been moved, her son is ill and she can't get childcare. I'll see her in 2 weeks.

Edit
I've got an appointment with the psychiatrist on Monday!

one_step_closer 06-03-2024 01:31 PM

Lots of appointments coming up, Tamo. I hope they're helpful.

Kittens think they are so much bigger and fierce than they actually are. :laugh:

tamobhuuta 06-03-2024 02:42 PM

Thanks, me too.

How are you? Up to much?

one_step_closer 06-03-2024 04:01 PM

I'm waiting from a call from Duty. They said yesterday they'd speak to my psych and then phone me today. I'm not feeling hopeful that anything helpful can be done.

long road 06-03-2024 04:10 PM

Hugs if you want them Lindsay.

Hope your future appointments go well Tamo. Are you dissappointed about having to wait 2 weeks for psychologist?

I have been napping. Still feeling pretty rough

Cacoethes 06-03-2024 04:15 PM

I have also been napping and feel rough

Hi everyone
Sorry for not catching up (again)
How's everyone's days going?

one_step_closer 06-03-2024 04:24 PM

Thanks for the hugs, Jen.

Maybe more naps are required for you both or something nice and restful (and something nice to eat/drink).

Cacoethes 06-03-2024 04:27 PM

I forsee more naps in the near future
I managed a shower, but i can't remember if i washed out the conditioner or not *facepalm*

tamobhuuta 06-03-2024 04:28 PM

It's a shame having to wait lr, but I've got other stuff on. Mainly Mass, but Mass is stuff!

one_step_closer 06-03-2024 04:46 PM

Oh dear, Beckie! I never even use conditioner, too much extra work!

You're doing well with going to Mass regularly as was your goal, Tamo.

Cacoethes 06-03-2024 04:50 PM

Mass is definitely stuff tamo!

I find it makes it easier to brush my hair after
But you don't really need conditioner. Just habit now more than anything!

not_so_insig 06-03-2024 04:58 PM

Hello all. I have managed to wash and dry my hair, wrote and posted 3 postcards whilst I was in the city centre, had coffee with a friend and a muffin, went to the tourist information centre, went to the bank and put the bins out. Have a load of laundry going in the machine as I speak. Am very knackered and got out of breath easily whilst i was in the city centre. Had a legit panic when the bus I took going home said "diversion ask driver" on the front but fortunately it was still going through my village. It wasn't going it's usual route after that but it didn't effect me.

tamobhuuta 06-03-2024 05:00 PM

I use conditioner every time I wash my hair, I find it makes a big difference when I brush my hair.

Well done insig, time for a rest?

one_step_closer 06-03-2024 05:02 PM

I use a 2 in 1, don't know if that's the best though. My hair is always fine to brush.

Bus diversions are scary!

long road 06-03-2024 05:17 PM

I haven't napped again yet but also haven't left bed. Just having a coffee and a couple of Maryland cookies and then I might lie down and listen to something, maybe nap some more.

Glad you have other stuff to focus on Tamo.

Change is hard to deal with. Glad the bus still went through your village Dawn.

not_so_insig 06-03-2024 05:22 PM

Thanks everyone. I also forgot to mention that I hoovered the communal area outside my flat before too. I am resting now as am knackered and my back is hurting too. Fortunately I have several hours until my parents arrive.

Cacoethes 06-03-2024 06:50 PM

Maryland cookies are awesome

one_step_closer 06-03-2024 06:51 PM

Mmm, cookies. Which I'm sure is also the title of a Linkin Park underground album.

I hope you enjoy seeing your parents, Dawn.

long road 06-03-2024 06:54 PM

I have yet time manage to nap. Also I may have to not drink coffee for next few days. Doctor last night said to try to avoid caffeine as it can make you feel worse when you have concussion. I thought it wouldnt be too bad and really wanted coffee but not long after drinking my coffee my headache got noticeably worse ...

I am very sad about having to give up coffee for a few days.

Cacoethes 06-03-2024 06:56 PM

That is sad jen!

long road 06-03-2024 06:59 PM

I am wondering if I can have tea instead or whether that will also have a noticeable negative effect. Concussion sucks!

Cacoethes 06-03-2024 07:00 PM

It does indeed suck!
How about hot chocolate?

long road 06-03-2024 07:06 PM

He also said to avoid chocolate :(

Cacoethes 06-03-2024 07:08 PM

Noooo!

long road 06-03-2024 07:13 PM

At least I still have fruit toast!

Cacoethes 06-03-2024 07:27 PM

That's good! Fruit toast is essential

long road 06-03-2024 07:58 PM

It's soooo good!

Cacoethes 06-03-2024 08:25 PM

It really is!

tamobhuuta 06-03-2024 08:28 PM

Loving the fruit toast vibe.

I just had a creme egg!

Cacoethes 06-03-2024 08:29 PM

Yummy! Haven't had a creme egg in years!

tamobhuuta 06-03-2024 08:31 PM

Best thing about spring imo.

long road 06-03-2024 08:46 PM

If you haven't tried fruit toast yet Tamo you totally should!

When my concussion is better I am totally getting a creme egg. Sounds sooo good right now
