They had halloween pictures at my colouring group too, Tamo, but they got stuck somewhere and didn't reach me.

I will give you all the sympathy, Jen. Just don't give me whatever illness you have!

Cacoethes 22-10-2024 06:02 PM

Bin twins!!! XD

Rest and fluids is definitely the way to go

one_step_closer 22-10-2024 06:41 PM

What's everyone doing this evening?

Cacoethes 22-10-2024 06:50 PM

Gonna have some dinner in a bit
L made a beef brisket stew in the slow cooker
Then probably watch a few episodes of What we do in the shadows

How about you?

Bin twins 4 life

Asthma is rudely kicking off again. Managed with inhaler during the day but using my nebuliser now.

Pretty sure you are safe Lindsay as germs aren't transmitted by internet XD

one_step_closer 22-10-2024 07:00 PM

What We Do In The Shadows is so fun, good choice.

That is very rude, Jen. Hope things settle.

I'll just be watching some TV. Will see what I have to catch up with.

Cacoethes 22-10-2024 07:00 PM

We are :-D

That's not good jen! Fingers crossed for the best night possible, with the situation

It is a great series lindsay!
Only started watching it because my brother said my uncle is definitely an energy vampire. We saw him for the first time in years at my grandads memorial party and he 100% Is XD

long road 22-10-2024 07:02 PM

As long as I avoid hospital I will take that as a win. Nebuliser seems to have helped so safe for now.

one_step_closer 22-10-2024 07:04 PM

I will keep my brain fingers crossed for you, Jen.

Oh my goodness that is hilarious, Beckie!

Cacoethes 22-10-2024 07:16 PM

Everything crossed for you jen!

It's scary how spot on it is tbh XD
Also explains why he doesn't appear to have aged since the last time I saw him, many years ago!

tamobhuuta 22-10-2024 08:13 PM

Really hoping the nebuliser does the job lr!

My sister likes that programme, I've never gotten into it.

L came to see me so I've had ALL the visits. Tomorrow will just be L.

long road 23-10-2024 07:35 AM

Morning Everyone!

Asthma rudely woke me up at 7am. Only got to sleep sometime around 2:30am. But despite having to call an ambulance around 11:30pm I at least spent my 4 and a half hours asleep in my own bed. Started my rescue pack of steroids last night.

Cacoethes 23-10-2024 07:58 AM

Morning!

Sorry you had a rough night jen. You must be exhausted!
Hopefully today is better

long road 23-10-2024 08:00 AM

Pretty shattered. But trying to stay awake so I can call GP surgery when phone lines open at 8:30am.

How are you? Did you get more sleep than last night?

Cacoethes 23-10-2024 08:32 AM

Hope you manage it!

I think so! Woke up a few times then properly woke up at 7am. Took extra promethazine so I think that helped!

long road 23-10-2024 08:47 AM

Secured a spot on the duty list for this morning. Rang at 8:30am on the dot and was only 4th in the queue. Hopefully someone I know rings back, ideally the NP who gets me.

Well I the extra meds help you sleep that's a win!

Anything exciting for breakfast? I am debating between Weetabix and banana or toast. Sadly I have no fruit toast.

tamobhuuta 23-10-2024 08:59 AM

Morning guys.

Sorry you had an adventurous night lr.

I'm glad you got some sleep Cacoethes.

Cacoethes 23-10-2024 09:23 AM

Excellent!

Absolutely! Though I'm still feeling rather groggy!

Not overly hungry tbh. May have something a bit later. Probably toast or porridge.
Alas, I also have no fruit toast :(

Morning tamo
How are you?

long road 23-10-2024 09:37 AM

Have had a call back from my favourite Nurse Practioner and have a face to face appointment for later this morning (the fact that I have a favourite indicates how often I have to go to GP ... XD)

Morning Tamo!

I am a big fan of porridge in a cold day. I just had almond butter and banana toast, sadly the nurse called while I was making it so after our call I got to eat cold toast...

Cacoethes 23-10-2024 09:38 AM

Excellent!

Porridge is indeed a good cold weather breakfast.
Boo to cold toast!

long road 23-10-2024 09:41 AM

Boo indeed!

Now trying not to zoom too much while waiting for it be time to get ready and head out to appointment. I had steroids at midnight so the zoom is very much a thing.

tamobhuuta 23-10-2024 09:44 AM

I am not zooming! I'm back in bed after breakfast and meds.

long road 23-10-2024 09:53 AM

Good plan Tamo! Bed is cosy!

Cacoethes 23-10-2024 09:56 AM

Ah yes, the steroid zoom!
Hopefully you can still find it in you to rest!

Sounds good tamo

long road 23-10-2024 10:13 AM

Trying to rest. Need to especially because my heart rate is really high at the moment.

Cacoethes 23-10-2024 10:31 AM

That isn't good

long road 23-10-2024 10:36 AM

Not ideal for sure. My heart rate always goes sup when my asthma is flaring and the m ds can have that as a side effect as well. It's all good seeing nurse in jus tiger an hour so will be checked out.

Cacoethes 23-10-2024 10:38 AM

Steroids probably don't help

long road 23-10-2024 11:14 AM

probably not! Getting in the car in 15 minutes. Just really hope the response isnt go to hospital

Cacoethes 23-10-2024 11:15 AM

Hopefully not! Fingers crossed for you!

long road 23-10-2024 12:41 PM

NP thinks I have a chest infection so antibiotics as well as steroids for me. Have come home and gone straight to bed. Brain is complete mush. Had a couple of seizures while at GP surgery. She will get her colleague to call me in Friday to check how things are going as she doesn't work Friday's anymore.

Cacoethes 23-10-2024 01:08 PM

What a nightmare!

one_step_closer 23-10-2024 01:10 PM

So much going on, Jen. Hope things get better soon.

Are you doing anything exciting today, Beckie?

Did you get back out of bed for lunch, Tamo? Has L been yet?

long road 23-10-2024 01:16 PM

It is a lot. Think I am going to attempt to nap now. See you guys on the flip side.

one_step_closer 23-10-2024 01:18 PM

Hope you have a nice nap and wake up feeling a bit better at least.

one_step_closer 23-10-2024 01:21 PM

Oh you're having to go to London today aren't you, Beckie?

not_so_insig 23-10-2024 01:41 PM

Afternoon all. My tshirt came today with no ransom note. It's this one

https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/18925526-pawlek

one_step_closer 23-10-2024 01:57 PM

I love cat pun t-shirts. I have a Purrscription Medication one.

How are you today, Dawn?

not_so_insig 23-10-2024 02:19 PM

I am ok thanks Lindsay. Sitting here waiting for amazon to come with an exciting delivery of a new mop. I know so rock and roll.

Cacoethes 23-10-2024 02:51 PM

I am indeed going to London :(
Waiting for train currently. It's in 9 minutes

tamobhuuta 23-10-2024 02:54 PM

Sorry to hear you've got a chest infection lr, I hope you can get some rest.

I hope the trip to London goes OK Cacoethes.

Love the T insig!

How are you osc?

I did get up for lunch but then went back to bed, I've got up for the painting group. L is coming this evening.

Cacoethes 23-10-2024 03:01 PM

Thanks tamo!
On the train now

How is everyone?

not_so_insig 23-10-2024 03:07 PM

My mop has arrived. It seems ok so far but I have only mopped a small area.

Cacoethes 23-10-2024 04:28 PM

Have arrived at the clinic. Early as usual!

long road 23-10-2024 04:36 PM

Had a decent nap about 2 and a half hours. I am now technically awake but ache all over and have no energy. So just lying in bed.

Hope clinic visit goes ok Beckie.

tamobhuuta 23-10-2024 04:54 PM

I'm pleased your mop functions as a mop insig.

Hope your appointment went well Cacoethes.

Sorry you're feeling so rotten lr.

I had a nice time at the art group.

long road 23-10-2024 05:55 PM

Yay for art group. What kind of art did you create?

I am having a cup of tea.

one_step_closer 23-10-2024 06:14 PM

Hope everything went ok at the clinic, Beckie.

I love that you have just retreated back to bed in between things, Tamo!

Ooh new shiny mop!

I'm glad you managed to nap, Jen but not good how you're feeling. Hope it's a nice cup of tea at least.

Cacoethes 23-10-2024 06:24 PM

Thanks guys
On train home now
Got antibiotics again, just to prevent infection. I assume from being stabbed so much.

one_step_closer 23-10-2024 06:27 PM

That doesn't sound fun, Beckie. How long till you're home?
