It's annoying though because I am sitting here bored.

Yeah. I wish i could sleep later also but i always wake up 7-8am. It is annoying.

Cool post insig!

I hope you get your clean underwear soon Cacoethes.

I'm off to do the dishwasher.

Thanks!
It's now saying between 2:45 and 5:45 which isn't too bad. I hope it comes sooner rather than later!
The big delivery place is in this town.

Hey everyone.

Ahisma, is there something you prefer to be called?

Truffle shuffle is good but expensive. Enjoy your purchases, Dawn.

Well done, Tamo. You're doing so great. :-)

How are you, Kat?

Hopefully your Amazon order will arrive soon, Beckie. They usually start by saying it's coming by 10pm but then it changes to a closer time. I couldn't find any nice underwear on Amazon when I was in hospital and had to get sort of granny pants! Then the (female) nurses wanted to see them and I was embarrassed!

I got up at a good time for me. Done all the things you're meant to do every 3 months. Also washed my hair.

Fingers crossed for you!

It's tipping it down here.

Ninja Beckie, I hope your order comes closer to 2.45.

Ninja post osc. Well done for washing your hair too :)

Also, I always wear granny pants, after all, I'm the only one who sees!

It was like that here on Tuesday, Tamo. Is it meant to rain all day? It's raining a bit here today.

Another ninja post!

Thank you, Tamo.

It's raining here too. Only light but enough to stop me sitting outside. I am wearing one of my new tshirts. My recycling has been collected.

What t-shirt is it? My bin hasn't been emptied yet. They used to get emptied quite early but then it changed to later.

It's this tshirt Lindsay

I also had this tshirt in the post

That's cute. I check what they have in new each day but don't buy much unless I really, really want it and it's not too expensive.

The grumpy bear one is funny!

They were just emergency underwear so it doesn't matter too much. I'll be getting more stuff either tomorrow evening or Saturday anyway.
It'll probably be male staff checking the package as there are more of them but I'm not really bothered.

I hope you can wash soon and the clean feeling gives you a little boost.

I'm sure it will. Been in the same clothes since monday. Bleugh.
Could ask for hospital pjs but i don't like them.

Hospital PJs are not nice. Do you have a full outfit to change into when you get your underwear? Will you have PJs or are you waiting for them to be brought to you from your house?

I have jeans and a t shirt.
I don't have pjs because i didn't have enough money.
But my friend is bringing some

I'm lucky now that my admissions are usually planned so I get to pack and sort out someone to look after Crookshanks before I'm admitted.

I'm glad there are people who can get your clothes etc from home.

*waves groggily* hey everyone,

I only just woke up properly. Did a lot yesterday and needed to sleep to reset but didn't get to sleep until after 3am.

Grumpy Bear is my favourite Care Bear so I had to have it. Although Cheer Bear (my avatar) comes in a close second. I have a Cheer Bear in my happy box.

My parcel is now not coming until 4:15-6:15 :plain:

My bear was in my safety plan in hospital.

I wouldn't bring my bunny here.
I've had him since I was born and don't want him to get stolen or damaged.

Hi Jen, nights like that are horrible. I hope you sleep better tonight. What are you going to do with your awake time?

I don't know much about Care Bears but do have one on a t-shirt that says 'care' or something. I like t-shirts like ones that promote kindness etc.

My childhood bear is surviving but only just. The stuffing is showing through tears in his t-shirt.

Have you got your parcel yet, Beckie? It's annoying when they keep changing the time unless it's earlier and it suits you.

Everything hurts and I am feeling quite down about it. I am tucked up in the sofa with one of my bears. Ducky isn't with me because I am watching a cooking show and he doesn't like it when the chefs cook his friends!

I can't even imagine what that must be like, I'm sorry you're in so much pain. I can only compare it to when my eczema was really bad and all over my body itchy, sore, and bleeding from scratching and it made me suicidal. I hope the cooking show can take your mind off things at least a bit. I can see why Ducky would be upset!

The parcel was delivered but is probably on the other watd again.
I tried to tell staff but she took a while to understand what i was saying. Eventually got it. Then disappeared omto the office, came out and left the ward without saying anything. Idk if she's gone to get it or not.

Sorry you're feeling bad jen. Sounds awful

Fingers crossed she is away to get it for you.

She wasn't.
And it's not on that ward. Someone else called. Ffs

I am fed up turns out painkiller prescription was never sent to pharmacy. On tueaday we were told it wasn't ready and I wasn't bothered as I wasn't in pain but when partner checked back today they told him that they hadn't received a prescription. Chased GP surgery and turns out GP put in my notes he was going to prescribe the new dose but didnt press the button to send it and he isn't in until tomorrow.

So tonight could be rough as over-the-counter isn't
quite cutting it .

How awful.
Can they put it through as an emergency?
Or 111 can sort prescriptions sometimes i think

Oh no, Jen. That's not a good mistake to have made. Maybe some of Beckie's options would be do able. I have no other advice, sorry. I just hope things aren't going to be too terrible for you and you get the meds you need quickly.

Did you get your parcel, Beckie? How are you doing this evening?

I did!
It was in the office *facepalm*
I'm ok. Feel better after a shower and changing clothes.
Though my head is back to feeling like it's in a washing machine.

Could be tricky getting it as an emergency as pharmacy have no record of me being prescribed it, same for 111. I think it could be even trickier as it is a controlled drug.

I am still in pain but with heat and over the counter it is just about bearable. Just going to try and ride it out and rest as much as possible

Hooray that you could shower and change into fresh clothes Beckie. I totally understood you not wanted to shower until you had fresh underwear I too would find it wrong.

Ah yeah. Good point.

I hope you manage to get through it.
I meant an emergency with the gp. If i forget to put my prescription request they'll fast track it through gp and pharmacy and you'll get it same day.

Yeah I'd still feel gross.
A male staff member opened the package with me. He was so embarrassed bless him XD

Evening all :)

Jen, just mentioning this in case you find it useful, a combo of paracetamol and ibuprofene often works better/more effectively than just using one of them.

Hooray for shower and clean clothes, Beckie :D
Being stuck in silly hospitals makes you appreciate the small things more. Mostly because they are the only things to appreciate….. The rest is just pah!!!

Hi Lindsay, did your day improve?? I hope so!!!

I had a difficult day. Took prn late this afternoon but it took a couple of hours before the full sedation hit. I feel like i can't stand being in my body atm and if i could, i would crawl out of it. Sensory overload is a Daily thing right now.

Yeah definitely!

Sorry you've had a bad day.
Hopefully tomorrow will be better

I'm home from work! A LONG day

Yay for being home!
Got any plans for this evening?

BED!

Always bed :) I'm just making dinner and I've put my pyjamas on the radiator.

How're you getting on Beckie? Yay for fresh pants!! I'm just catching up on everything.

Bed is a good plan!

I'm ok. Just tired

Okay is something though!!

I've just sorted the cats out and I'm tucked up cosy with a hot water bottle waiting for them to join me after their dinners.

Sounds lovely and cosy!

It is! I have one of them who's joined me, I know one will be in the tent, just waiting on the others!

I am managing just about. Heat packs are helping as its pain from muscle spasms. It's first time I have been on this dose so just have to wait for GP in morning. Where if I am lucky the pain will be gone anyway!

I am very much using both but in safe doses as recommended by box and GP..

Hope your tomorrow is better Zurg. The not wanting to be in your body sensation is horrible, I get it occassionally.

Bed is always a good plan. Although I am currently on sofa with a blanket

Sofa and blankets are also good plans!!

Blanket forts are even better but I CBA with the effort today!
