Actually, no I don't, I remember gardeners world.

nonperson 04-09-2023 05:05 PM

I remember Ground Force! Didn't (and still don't) like Charlie Dimmock much in it though. But it had Alan Titchmarsh and that builder guy who I've forgotten the name of.

nonperson 04-09-2023 05:08 PM

Tommy someone....

Cacoethes 04-09-2023 05:45 PM

tamobhuuta 04-09-2023 06:20 PM

Cacoethes 04-09-2023 06:24 PM

Hey guys!
I'm ok thanks

How's everyone's days been?

Getting admitted. I am stable now. But it's likely I won't stay that way and this way I can see a respiratory nurse specialist in the morning rather than waiting however long for outpatients. Just waiting in same day emergency care for a bed to be available.

Sorry for not replying to people.FND is acting up as well as asthma and I am in a load of pain. But wanted to update you all.

one_step_closer 04-09-2023 07:01 PM

I'm so sorry, Jen. I really hope things settle for you soon.

I'm glad you're feeling better, Dawn.

Ambulance is good, Tamo, but can be a bit upsetting so be careful.

I remember Ground Force and Gardener's World! I can remember bits of the theme tunes too.

How are you doing, Beckie?

I've been reading a good book.

long road 04-09-2023 07:45 PM

This way I finally get to see a specialist like I have been waiting for 13 weeks for. So it will be worth it. Might get a new treatment to try. One of those ones GP suggested but only hospitals can prescribe

tamobhuuta 04-09-2023 08:00 PM

I'm glad they're looking after you lr.

Cacoethes 04-09-2023 08:04 PM

I hope they manage to sort something jen!
Being admitted is never fun
Message me if you need anything

I'm ok thanks lindsay
You ok?

Zurg 04-09-2023 08:28 PM

I'm sorry Jen :( i hope at least something helpful and positive comes from it this time <3 hope you can manage to sleep okay.

I've gone to bed with a cup of tea. I had an almost two hour nap this afternoon but still feel exhausted. I tense up all the time but especially when stressed so my chest and ribcage feels so tight and achy. I Think i'll need to do some stretching excercises tomorrow. It hurts all the time.
Being crazy and growing old is not a good combo at all. Minus three stars, would not recommend!!!

Cacoethes 04-09-2023 08:47 PM

I hope you manage to get a decent sleep zurg!

Cacoethes 05-09-2023 04:32 AM

Morning everyone!

long road 05-09-2023 05:41 AM

Morning Beckie!

I got even less sleep than normal because hospital. I also fell out of bed multiple times because non epileptic seizures and now have a bed surrounded by crash mats.

Cacoethes 05-09-2023 05:46 AM

Morning!

Yeah hospitals are really hard to sleep in! So noisy and bright! Even when they turn off the lights!
The crash mats will be helpful i hope! But i also hope you don't have any more seizures!

long road 05-09-2023 06:07 AM

Less seizures is an aim. The crash mats are pretty comfy to land on. Meant I be getting a special low bed at some point so it's less far to fall.

I actually feel weirdly refreshed on what can't be much more than 3 hours sleep

Cacoethes 05-09-2023 06:08 AM

That's good!

Yeah i do sometimes too. It's weird!

long road 05-09-2023 06:44 AM

Clearly life is like well if you are going to sleep **** at least somedays I won't make you feel like you slept **** XD

The universe smiles on us!

Cacoethes 05-09-2023 07:29 AM

Yeah exactly!

It does! In some ways, not in others XD

long road 05-09-2023 09:00 AM

Well I wil take some smiles rather than all ****!

We definitely still need th magic go to sleep button though!

Cacoethes 05-09-2023 09:02 AM

Very true!

Yesss we do!

tamobhuuta 05-09-2023 09:58 AM

Morning guys.

I'm glad you're feeling refreshed lr.

I've decided it's maxi dress weather.

Cacoethes 05-09-2023 10:01 AM

It is! Gonna get up to 30 today

tamobhuuta 05-09-2023 10:05 AM

That's what the weather said yesterday. I'll have to dig out my sandals too!

What are you up to today?

Cacoethes 05-09-2023 10:06 AM

You will!
I might go to the retail park before it gets too hot!

tamobhuuta 05-09-2023 10:10 AM

To buy anything fun?

one_step_closer 05-09-2023 10:10 AM

Hey everyone.

Hope today is better for you, Jen.

Keep cool as much as possible everyone!

I'm going to the gym later on.

tamobhuuta 05-09-2023 10:12 AM

That's good osc. Are you going by yourself?

one_step_closer 05-09-2023 10:17 AM

It's the unofficial gym group, I know one other person is definitely going.

Cacoethes 05-09-2023 10:20 AM

I'm gonna look for an interview outfit, but am very limited on funds so i doubt it will be successful! Need to get out of the house anyway. Been sitting around for ages!

You up to anything tamo?

Hope the gym is ok lindsay!

tamobhuuta 05-09-2023 11:28 AM

I'm seeing my spiritual director at 2 :)

Have fun shopping

Have fun at the gym

Cacoethes 05-09-2023 12:16 PM

I have acquired a lovely blue shirt for my interview!
I couldn't decide between blue or black, so i took photos and messaged my mum XD

I hope it goes well with your spiritual director!

Cacoethes 05-09-2023 12:37 PM

Lol, i just got a text from matalan saying my parcel is ready to pick up...from the retail park XD
well that's annoying!
Might go later when it's a bit cooler

tamobhuuta 05-09-2023 01:17 PM

Later sounds like a good plan. I'm glad you found a nice shirt. What's the interview?

Cacoethes 05-09-2023 01:29 PM

It's a college interview.
Still not sure if I'm gonna do the actual course. It's part of a local college group but is actually pretty far away, and also the course finishes at 9pm, so would be hard to get back.
I'm counting on being able to drive by January!

Zurg 05-09-2023 01:29 PM

Oooh, are you looking for a new job or a promotion, Beckie??? :D
Exciting!!!

It seems kind of weird (and silly) that they haven't got around to make hospital beds that are impossible to fall from…. I hope you're okay in spite of attempting a dramatic bed exit, Jen <3

It's warm and sunny here too, Tamo. Thankfully nothing close to 30 degrees!!!

My befriender was here for what turned out to be the last time :( she and her boyfriend had moved across our very small country to settle in the capitol. Boo!!! Findus sniffed her intensely. A very cute goodbye sniff

Zurg 05-09-2023 01:30 PM

Ninja Beckie!!! I am crossing everything. Even if you decide against it, nailing an interview is still a good feeling!!! <3

Cacoethes 05-09-2023 01:32 PM

Thank you!

Aww that's sad zurg! Cute that findus gave her a little goodbye sniff!

one_step_closer 05-09-2023 04:00 PM

What course is it, Beckie?

That's a shame, Kat. Will you get another befriender?

We didn't go in the gym in the end, we just sat and chatted!

Cacoethes 05-09-2023 04:03 PM

Level 2 gym instruction.

Did you have a nice time chatting?
Far too hot for gym anyway!

not_so_insig 05-09-2023 04:34 PM

Hello all. I have been busy. Had cpn and amazon today. The amazon order wasn't very exciting. Also watched Burghley (big horse competition) and a programme about a murder.

tamobhuuta 05-09-2023 04:48 PM

Exciting days all round. I had a good conversation with my spiritual director.

Cacoethes 05-09-2023 05:24 PM

L went and got my parcel for me so i don't have to go back to the retail park! Relieved!

Glad you had a good conversation tamo!

long road 05-09-2023 05:45 PM

I am mildly bruised from dramatic bed exit but ok.

Have seen respiratory physio today and she will phone next week and then see me in outpatients. Have also got respiratory nurse follow up scheduled. And have plan for a new taper off steroids.

And surprisingly but awesomely if all goes to plan I should be getting discharged home this evening. Which ai am pretty happy about. Especially as I have got a load of good options out if the admission.

Cacoethes 05-09-2023 06:02 PM

That sounds positive!
Fingers crossed for home!

one_step_closer 05-09-2023 06:53 PM

Really hope you get home, Jen.

I once applied for a gym type course but then changed my mind. Nice of L to pick up your parcel. :)

What murder programme did you watch, Dawn?

I'm glad it went well, Tamo.

Yes, it was good to chat. We were so hot after just walking a short distance to the gym from the bus station.

long road 05-09-2023 07:01 PM

Have meds ready to discharge. Just waiting for partner to arrive to pick me up.
