You can't close a coffee shop!!!! People need coffee. Then they just gotta light a Camp fire and make the coffee in the old fashioned way!!!
I'm okay. Doing laundry atm. Someone who used the machines just prior to my turn has used really smelly washing powder :( Now all my towels and bedding Will smell of terrible and cheap perfume. Ack!!!
I hope the how water bottle and the pills help, Tamo. Period pains should not be allowed to be a thing. Period!!! (Sorry, i could not resist….)

Cacoethes 21-09-2023 10:14 AM

Probably wouldn't have been as nice or as quick over a camp fire!

Eugh! That's not cool!

Hey tamo
I hope the painkillers and hot water bottle sort things out!

I have an rmn overseeing me. She's ok

tamobhuuta 21-09-2023 10:17 AM

I need to do laundry today too. Sorry your clothes are smelly.

I'm glad the rmn is OK.

Cacoethes 21-09-2023 10:21 AM

L took my laundry yesterday XD

tamobhuuta 21-09-2023 10:27 AM

That was kind of her :)

tamobhuuta 21-09-2023 10:43 AM

I put my first load of washing on because my tummy was feeling better, but now the stabby pains are back.

one_step_closer 21-09-2023 10:46 AM

Morning everyone.

I have done my washing. :) Must be a washing day for us all.

Sorry you're in pain, Tamo.

tamobhuuta 21-09-2023 10:50 AM

Thanks osc. Well done.

Cacoethes 21-09-2023 10:53 AM

Stabby pains are not a vibe

Well done for washing lindsay!

The tube is out and it feels amazing!

one_step_closer 21-09-2023 10:54 AM

I can imagine, Beckie! That's good news. :)

tamobhuuta 21-09-2023 10:55 AM

That's great Cacoethes!

Cacoethes 21-09-2023 11:07 AM

Thanks guys!

not_so_insig 21-09-2023 11:24 AM

Good for you Beckie. I am chuffed.

Cacoethes 21-09-2023 11:46 AM

Thank you :-D

You up to much today?

long road 21-09-2023 12:25 PM

I should hopefully be going home tomorrow morning as long as my breathing stays stable.

Had a really good ward round with asthma consultant today and feel like we have a good follow up plan in place. And managed a shower although embarrassingly nurse had to be in there in case I had a seizure.

Glad Findus is back to his normal level of mischief and that you didn't have to pay lots of money Zurg!

Well done everyone for your Landry related efforts!

It's just about to be lunchtime on my ward I am having lasagna!

Cacoethes 21-09-2023 12:31 PM

Lunch time here soon too!
The soup has been round
We order meals a day in advance so i can't remember what i ordered!

Zurg 21-09-2023 12:32 PM

Yays for silly string thing to be gone, Beckie :D
And yays for possibly going home soon, Jen :D
But boo to more period pains, Tamo :(
Hi Dawn :)
And hi Lindsay :)
I've finished the laundry duty. About to have something to eat. Going to Pick up a parcel but realised that i feel very hungry. So first, food. Hangry me is not much fun to be around….!!!

Cacoethes 21-09-2023 12:40 PM

Silly string XD

Food definitely sounds like a plan before going out!
What are you having?

tamobhuuta 21-09-2023 12:44 PM

Happy lunchtimes everyone. I'm having soup.

Cacoethes 21-09-2023 12:47 PM

It's sweet and sour chicken with rice for me!

And I've just seen PLS consultant turn up, as I've been given my lunch :eyeroll:

tamobhuuta 21-09-2023 01:06 PM

I hope they let you finish your lunch - and that they are helpful.

Cacoethes 21-09-2023 01:16 PM

I was waiting for my lunch to cool down anyway, so i waited to eat it and spoke to her.
It is rather good news!

one_step_closer 21-09-2023 01:29 PM

I like good news. :)

tamobhuuta 21-09-2023 01:37 PM

What she said.

Cacoethes 21-09-2023 01:52 PM

Off section today, going home tomorrow or Monday (depending on speaking to L) and obviously depending on whether i follow the meal plan, which I will!
The original plan was off section tomorrow and home Monday if all goes well, but i managed to negotiate!

long road 21-09-2023 02:25 PM

Yay good news. In not so good news my breathing is flaring a bit this afternoon, trying to get it under control with my breathing exercises and home meds but might have to have a nebuliser and if I need one that delays discharge because I don't have them at home

Cacoethes 21-09-2023 02:28 PM

Ugh how annoying

long road 21-09-2023 02:40 PM

I know right guess its better it flares here than when I get home so I don't have to do the whole ambulance, emergency department, AMU shuffle again. But I was hoping it might not flare at all.

Avoided a nebuliser for now but can't quite get it under control so may have to ask for one.

Cacoethes 21-09-2023 02:41 PM

Well yeah, that would be idea!
But probably not going to be fixed that quickly, unfortunately!

one_step_closer 21-09-2023 03:14 PM

That's not good, Jen. You're in the right place though.

tamobhuuta 21-09-2023 03:48 PM

Sending love lr.

Cacoethes 21-09-2023 04:23 PM

Just been down to the shop and fresh air by myself :-D

long road 21-09-2023 04:43 PM

Got breathing under control with max dose of 1 inhaler and a couple of puffs of the other. Not good it flared but good that the meds I have access to at home settled it.

Hooray for partial freedom!

Cacoethes 21-09-2023 04:52 PM

That's something!

Yup!

Zurg 21-09-2023 05:11 PM

This calls for FREEDOM LATTE WITH CARAMEL SYRUP!!! Beckie and Jen!!!! Get your fabulous po-pos down to a coffee shop/machine/personal barista!!!!
I'm making raisin buns. Waiting for the dough to rise…. Mmmm, raisin buns!!!

long road 21-09-2023 06:56 PM

I am not allowed out of ward alone. Mainly in case I fall over and have a seizure. So no lattes for me. Might get one if they actually let me go tomorrow. Breathing wise I should be good but I am waiting on psych...

Cacoethes 21-09-2023 07:14 PM

I did go for a little freedom jaunt but i didn't get coffee! Just more diet coke XD

Oooh raisin buns! Yummy!

Your psych team sound absolutely terrible jen!
You can have mine XD

Zurg 22-09-2023 07:07 AM

Morning peeps :)

How is everyone???
It's raining here. Rude!!!

Cacoethes 22-09-2023 07:58 AM

Morning!
It's sunny here! For now....

How are you?
How's findus?

tamobhuuta 22-09-2023 09:10 AM

Morning peeps.

Cacoethes 22-09-2023 09:10 AM

Morning tamo!
How are you?

tamobhuuta 22-09-2023 10:23 AM

Stomach cramps again. I'm dosed up on painkillers and I've got my hot water bottle. How are you?

Cacoethes 22-09-2023 10:54 AM

Ugh. Grim!

I'm ok. Just taken one of the ladies in the bay for a little outing!
She can spend a limited amount of time in a wheelchair and isn't strong enough to go far by herself. We went to the shop and then sat in the cafe for a bit! It was fun!

tamobhuuta 22-09-2023 10:58 AM

That's nice for you both :)

Cacoethes 22-09-2023 11:15 AM

Yeah, we had a nice time!
I will miss these 2 ladies in my bay. They're good fun! We have a laugh and help each other out!

tamobhuuta 22-09-2023 11:37 AM

When are you leaving?

Cacoethes 22-09-2023 11:42 AM

This afternoon!
L is picking me up around 4, after she finishes work

tamobhuuta 22-09-2023 11:47 AM

Excellent.

Crisis Team came early, I'm peeved.

not_so_insig 22-09-2023 12:00 PM

Hello all. I have started my period today so am boiling hot. I have a concert to go to tonight so am hoping that the theatre won't be boiling. I am already wearing a sleeveless top.

one_step_closer 22-09-2023 12:05 PM

Hi everyone.

Hope the rain stops, Kat.

Glad you're getting home today and that you have L, Beckie. Best of luck! The time will probably pass really slowly today!

Sorry to hear you're in pain, Tamo. Were crisis helpful even though they were early?

What are you going to see, Dawn? I hope you enjoy it.
