Sounds like a good plan. I'm getting ready for bed now.

Glad you are home Jen.

Thanks Dawn

Morning everyone! I got about 5 hours sleep and just woke up a bit short of breath. Hoping I can get some more sleep when I get that under control.

Morning!
I also got about 5 hours. Massive improvement on the 2 hours the last couple of nights got some reason!

I hope today is a better day for you jen!

Hooray for more sleep for Beckie! Although still not enough sleep I know 5 hours is pretty good for you.
Are you home already or are you flying back this morning?

I hope today is better day for me too. Just had breakfast and done my morning meds including steroids. Going to try and see if I can get a bit more sleep before the zoomies hit.

It is!
I hope you manage to get some more sleep!

We're flying back this evening, so we have the morning to get some breakfast and make sure we've got everything. Check out isn't until 12pm.

Not managed to sleep any more yet. Doesnt feel like it's going to happen atm.

Good you don't have to rush to the airport and can take your time to pack up etc. Hope all goes smoothly.

That's a shame :(

Thank you
Neither of us want to go back to real life!

Called GP surgery at 8:40 and got told someone from duty will ring me back. Didn't think they would ring super early so went to bathroom they rang at 8:55am and I didnt manage to answer the phone. Now waiting to see if they call again ( have been told by reception previously that they will always try again if they can't get through) but kicking myself because I could have had the call over with!

Sign of a good holiday not wanting to go home!

Morning guys. I'm glad you've had *some* sleep!
I forgot neuro were going to phone at 8am for a check up so was asleep!

Got a call back and it went ok. She is going to get the nurse practitioner in tomorrow to give me a call to check it n with me before the weekend and work out if I need more steroids or not. My GP is in tomorrow as well so can come up with a plan.

Zoomies have most definitely hit me I just had to force my self to sit down and rest for a bit. Have already done more than I would on a usual morning.

Oh no about your appointment Tamo! Did you manage to have it while half asleep or did you miss the call/ have to rearrange?

How are you doing otherwise today?

A plan sounds good!
Well done for sitting down.

I missed the call, my phone was in the patient kitchen charging. So they phoned home and Mum told them I was in hospital so they're going to set up a new phone call in a few months.
I am ok. They gave me meds because they didn't like my heart rate.

Glad they called back jen!

It has definitely been a great holiday!

I'm glad they're going to call again tamo, a few months is pretty decent for a neuro!

Well done for forcing yourself to sit down jen!
I know that's very hard with the zoomies!

I'm glad you've had such a good time.

My neuro is very good.

So happy you and L have had a good time :) You deserve it!

I am struggling to stay sat down and resting but mostly managing. Feel so wired!

Glad it's been properly rearranged. And that you have a good neuro team. Glad you are ok Tamo.

It's all happening here!

Sending good vibes to you all.

Thanks for the good vibes Lindsay sending them right back at you.

I had a shower to a) get clean and b) try to burn off some energy. Achieved part a and thought might have done a little if part b but ten minutes later and I am at full zoom again. Oh well at least I am clean!

Thanks guys <3

At the airport now. Flight is in a couple of hours :(

The plane ride home from holiday is always sad. At least it's not a long flight though. And you do get to see the boys when you get home!

At least you achieved some of what you set out to do, Jen!

Sad for your holiday ending, Beckie, but very glad you got to do lots of nice things.

Evening guys

Hey everyone
Just popping in to say we are back home and exhausted!

Hi Cacoethes, I'm glad you're safely home. Restorative sleep later?

Thank you!
Yes, hopefully!

How are you?

Welcome back Beckie!

Thanks dawn!
How are you?

I am ok thanks Beckie.

Morning Everyone!

Morning!
How are you?

Not sure how I am. Okish I guess, bit zoomy.

Am currently in waiting mode as Nurse Practitioner is meant to call this morning to check in re: asthma and see if we need to extend steroids course.

How are you? Hope come down from holiday isn't too hard.

Morning ninja Tamo how are you?

Morning guys, how are you?

Ninja lr! I hope you're not waiting long.

Hope the nurse is helpful jen!

The holiday come down is hitting hard!
Truly back to reality with a nurse appointment this morning then straight to work :(

Hey tamo! How are you?

I'm ok. A male HCA opened my door to do my obs while I was getting dressed so I had to yell at him, "I'm not decent!" And he ran away.

Hate it when they do that!
I always listen for keys when getting changed, and arranging getting dressed around obs time!

Still waiting... It is getting harder to sit still and not zoom about.

Oh no Tamo! Hope he is suitably abashed.

Hope your nurse appointment goes well Beckie and work too. What shift are you doing today?

I know the feeling!
I hope you manage to rest as much as possible. Your lungs need it!

Doing 1pm until 9pm for the next 2 days, then a random 10:30am-6:30pm on Sunday!

I have had phone call andd have decided steroids for another two days over the weekend is the sensible thing to do. So zoomies will be sticking around for a while longer it appears.

Trying to rest but hard. Might go out for lunch later

Random shift is random. Hope they all go smoothly.

Probably best over the weekend!

Out for lunch would be nice! Where do you think you'll go?

Thank you!
At nurse appointment now. There's no one in the waiting room and it is silent! Very odd!

If we go out probably will go to the nice garden centre that does roast dinners. Not sure if I am well enough to go out or not. Last thing I want is an asthma attack while out and about.

Silent waiting rooms are weird noone else being there is weirder! My GP surgery usually has the radio on

Well yes, that wouldn't be ideal!

It was very strange!
The nurse was running late and I was having a time crisis but still got to work 30 mins early XD

Glad it worked out in the end
Sorry you had to go through time related stress though. Hope your shift goes ok.

Still debating whether to go out or not.

I washed my hair! I had to shampoo it multiple times, it was a long time since I last managed.

It's nice weather here. I hope it's nice for you if you decide to go out lr.

Enjoy work Cacoethes.

Decided I feel too ill to risk going out. Have come back to bed and going to attempt to rest. So tired but wired at the same time.

Well done for washing your hair Tamo. Bet it feels nice to have clean hair.

Hi everyone, I have read everything but too much for individual replies.

Look after yourselves.

Look after yourself osc. Hugs if wanted.

Thanks guys!
It's really busy but it's fine. Being left completely alone for the last hour of my shift for the first time! :
He said we'll sort everything before he goes. But the responsibility of locking everything up and everything! :crazy:

That sounds like a sensible decision jen!

Well done for washing your hair tamo

Hope today is OK for you lindsay

Would totally trust you to lock up my house ok, Beckie! Although that may be more simple than sorting things out at work. You can do it!

Sort of exciting Cacoethes?

Hello all.
