Cacoethes 12-10-2024 12:24 PM

I'm okish thanks
Few things occurring but I'll be ok

How are you?

one_step_closer 12-10-2024 12:39 PM

Afternoon everyone.

I hope you're alright, Beckie.

How are you, Tamo?

Cacoethes 12-10-2024 12:42 PM

I'll survive! As always!
Thanks :)

How're you doing today?

tamobhuuta 12-10-2024 12:48 PM

I am ok.

Hope your day goes OK osc and Cacoethes.

not_so_insig 12-10-2024 01:36 PM

Afternoon all. I am freezing and I have had to put my central heating on.

one_step_closer 12-10-2024 02:06 PM

Survival is a good start anyway, Beckie! Hope you feel better than that soon.

I'm a bit of a mess. Never mind.

I've had my heating on a few times already this month, Dawn. Just been out and got absolutely soaked.

not_so_insig 12-10-2024 02:22 PM

Oh dear Lindsay. I hope you had a hot drink when you got in. I have just made myself a drink just waiting for it to cool down.

one_step_closer 12-10-2024 02:46 PM

Are you warming up, Dawn? I just changed into my joggers out of my soaking jeans.

not_so_insig 12-10-2024 02:56 PM

Yes I am much warmer now Lindsay.

tamobhuuta 12-10-2024 03:12 PM

I'm glad everyone is warming up! My room is quite cold but the communal area is better.

tamobhuuta 12-10-2024 05:46 PM

I did bracelet making and 5 steps to wellness boards.

Cacoethes 12-10-2024 05:56 PM

Thanks guys

I've been quite chilly today also. I have thermal socks on, fluffy socks AND slipper socks and my feet have only just warmed up since my nap. My oodie is an absolute lifesaver here

one_step_closer 12-10-2024 06:06 PM

I ended up putting my heating on for a bit.

What kind of bracelet did you make, Tamo?

tamobhuuta 12-10-2024 06:27 PM

Just beads. I made ones for my sisters and one for myself.

one_step_closer 12-10-2024 06:36 PM

What colours did you use? I love beaded bracelets.

Cacoethes 12-10-2024 06:42 PM

Has been very cold today

Sounds nice tamo :)

one_step_closer 12-10-2024 06:47 PM

On the subject of the weather, I was watching a documentary yesterday about the heatwave in 2003. Does anyone remember it? I don't think I do.

Cacoethes 12-10-2024 07:00 PM

I don't think so!

not_so_insig 12-10-2024 07:18 PM

I was highly unwell during 2003 so most of that year is a blur to me. I don't remember it. I joined here during that year however.

tamobhuuta 12-10-2024 08:12 PM

I don't remember it either!

tamobhuuta 13-10-2024 08:14 AM

Morning guys. I'm off to bed

one_step_closer 13-10-2024 12:24 PM

Afternoon, Tamo. Are you ok?

tamobhuuta 13-10-2024 02:48 PM

Spent all night in a&e. No more woes than that here though. How are you?

one_step_closer 13-10-2024 06:14 PM

Sorry to hear that. I hope today has at least been a bit better for you.

I'm overwhelmed right now.

tamobhuuta 13-10-2024 08:24 PM

Hope you got through the overwhelmedness. What have you been up to?

Cacoethes 14-10-2024 06:14 AM

Morning everyone

tamobhuuta 14-10-2024 09:45 AM

Morning Cacoethes how are you?

Cacoethes 14-10-2024 09:53 AM

Morning tamo
I am frustrated and in need of a vape! But there are no wheelchairs anywhere :'(

How are you?

one_step_closer 14-10-2024 12:02 PM

Afternoon everyone.

Do you know if you're getting any tests etc today, Beckie? How are you feeling physically? I hope you can get out for a vape soon.

How are you, Tamo?

Cacoethes 14-10-2024 12:20 PM

Hey lindsay!
How are you?

No idea! Have to see a neurologist and the OT is going to do an assessment later. She just came to ask me some ques but it's almost lunchtime so gonna do the physical bit later on.
I did get out for a vape thanks! Could do with going again. Starting to get a bit stir crazy.

tamobhuuta 14-10-2024 12:46 PM

I'm glad you got out for a vape and have seen one of the necessary professionals Cacoethes. Waiting around is horrible, especially with limited vaping.

Hi osc, how are you? Up to much today?

I had a nap this morning, despite the work going on outside my room!

Cacoethes 14-10-2024 01:30 PM

Thanks tamo
The catheter actually can't come out because I have limited mobility. But need a bladder scan because it isn't draining and it hurts. Ffs.
And I have to have the scan before another outside trip can happen.


Congrats on the nap! Always tough when stuff is going on!

tamobhuuta 14-10-2024 01:53 PM

That sucks Cacoethes :(

one_step_closer 14-10-2024 01:58 PM

You need your own personal entertainer inside your little plastic house, Beckie, but someone who you can tell to go away when you've had enough and then summon them back when you want to.

I don't think I would be able to nap in those circumstances, Tamo. Not that I can nap anyway. Achievement unlocked!

I'm just waiting to see if my CPN bothers to phone me today.

not_so_insig 14-10-2024 02:24 PM

Afternoon all. I have an appointment at the gp surgery today. Killing time by random internetting until it's time to leave for my appointment. It will take longer to get there than the actual appointment lol.

one_step_closer 14-10-2024 02:30 PM

Waiting mode isn't fun. Is your GP surgery quite a bit away from you? I hope the appointment goes ok.

not_so_insig 14-10-2024 02:37 PM

It's a 10 minute walk. The appointment is for my vitamin b12 jab. The whole appointment takes less than 5 minutes.

tamobhuuta 14-10-2024 03:02 PM

I hope the appointment goes OK insig.

And I hope your cpn calls you osc.

I went to the art group, it was relaxing.

Cacoethes 14-10-2024 03:22 PM

I do need an entertainer!

I am also waiting to see if my CC bothers to phone today. Not looking overly likely

Glad you enjoyed the art group tamo

one_step_closer 14-10-2024 06:11 PM

Did you do some painting at the art group, Tamo? I'm glad it was a relaxing space for you.

Did you hear anything from your CC, Beckie?

My CPN phoned at the very end of his working day. Someone cancelled their appointment tomorrow so he offered it to me.

Cacoethes 14-10-2024 07:39 PM

Nothing from CC. Unfortunately when I need it most

I'm glad he called and is seeing you soon!

tamobhuuta 14-10-2024 07:57 PM

That's good he got a freed up slot. Good luck :)

Yeah I did a painting of Teresa of Avila for her feast tomorrow.

Sorry you didn't hear from cc Cacoethes :(

Cacoethes 14-10-2024 08:01 PM

Sounds good tamo
Are you happy with it?

Thanks. Cba with anything at the moment
Reached the past caring stage

tamobhuuta 14-10-2024 08:23 PM

It's not the worse thing I've done!

I hope things look better in the morning, and other such bland statements.

Cacoethes 14-10-2024 10:48 PM

Good

Thanks
Had a bit of a meltdown, refused to go back in and sat outside for 2 hours. I still can't feel my toes. It's freezing!

Cacoethes 15-10-2024 04:05 AM

Morning everyone

tamobhuuta 15-10-2024 10:32 AM

Morning Cacoethes how are you after sitting outside for 2 hours last night?

Cacoethes 15-10-2024 10:37 AM

Morning tamo

Just about warmed up XD
It was extremely cold
But I managed a shower this morning! Think I've almost mastered the art of propelling myself about in the wheelchair. Though I'm very slow XD

How are you?

tamobhuuta 15-10-2024 11:13 AM

I am ok. I had a lie in. Just saw the physio, she gave me a new exercise for my foot.

Cacoethes 15-10-2024 12:51 PM

Lie ins are nice
How is the foot?
