Zurg 11-12-2023 10:52 AM

Morning guys :)
How are you and what intriguing, dreadful things have you planned for today??? I'm always looking for some inspo!!!

Cacoethes 11-12-2023 11:00 AM

Morning zurg!
How are you?

Nothing too exciting!
Just hoping to get out unaccompanied again and also ward round later

long road 11-12-2023 11:12 AM

I fell back asleep after I said morning. Oops!

Not sure how I am. Very tired for sure.

No real plans either.

tamobhuuta 11-12-2023 11:21 AM

Morning. My godmother might be coming today.

Cacoethes 11-12-2023 12:06 PM

Ward round may not happen because the dr very rudely has covid.
They're having a meeting to see if it can be done remotely. Fingers crossed!
There's also covid on the ward, i hear. I don't think I'm meant to know, but oh well XD

Can you nap today jen?

Hope she can come tamo

Ahimsa 11-12-2023 12:19 PM

Morning all!!

long road 11-12-2023 12:41 PM

I might try and nap later. Feeling rather restless though.

COVID sucks especially in hospital where you can't escape it. Hope they sort something for your ward round Beckie.

Morning Beth

tamobhuuta 11-12-2023 12:47 PM

Oh dear, not covid! I hope it doesn't effect you.

How are you Ahimsa?

Is there anything that helps your restlessness lr?

tamobhuuta 11-12-2023 12:50 PM

The 2pm slot has been taken so I've emailed my godmother to see if she can do 1pm.

long road 11-12-2023 12:52 PM

Fingers crossed syour godmother can come at 1pm Tamo.

Not sure what will help this restless feeling. I am listening to music but not sure if that is amping it up

Cacoethes 11-12-2023 01:19 PM

Afternoon beth!
How are you?

I hope not too!
If i get covid from here I'm gonna be pissed!

Restlessness and tiredness are an awful combo :(
Hope it eases up soon

Fingers crossed tamo!

one_step_closer 11-12-2023 01:41 PM

Afternoon everyone. I hope you all have good days now that I have arrived to wish you a good rest of the day!

Cacoethes 11-12-2023 02:25 PM

Hey lindsay!

Thank you!

How are you?

tamobhuuta 11-12-2023 02:32 PM

My godmother couldn't make 1pm :(

I had my regular blood test, my veins were awkward.

What's everyone up to this afternoon?

Cacoethes 11-12-2023 02:36 PM

Aw that's a shame tamo :(
Can she visit another day?

I am waiting to hear if ward round is going to be a thing today
Failing that, waiting to hear about whether i can discharge myself!

tamobhuuta 11-12-2023 02:40 PM

I hope you get ward rounds. Is it at all helpful being in hospital? I was surprised they let you go to the gym!

Idk about my godmother.

Cacoethes 11-12-2023 02:46 PM

Thanks!
Idk why it's such a big thing, they did virtual meetings during covid, so shouldn't be a big deal doing it now!
Nope it is not at all helpful
Yeah, lol. No one has really spoken to me about the food situation at all.

Hopefully she can visit soon

long road 11-12-2023 03:04 PM

Maybe its because they not sure if psych is too ill to do ward round?

Hope you get any answer soon Beckie.

And I hope your godmother can visit soon Tamo

I am still restless and tired.

not_so_insig 11-12-2023 03:06 PM

Hello all. I am not having a good day.

Cacoethes 11-12-2023 03:07 PM

The psych is virtually sitting in on the meetings

Thanks jen

Sorry you're still feeling ****
:(

tamobhuuta 11-12-2023 03:35 PM

Sorry you are struggling lr and insig.

I hope your virtual ward rounds goes well Cacoethes.

Cacoethes 11-12-2023 03:57 PM

Not a virtual ward round tamo, the consultant was having meetings about whether she could do ward round virtually, which is weird!
I talked to the junior dr about self discharge, she is going to pass the info over to her consultant, who is somewhere else and not the ward consultant.

tamobhuuta 11-12-2023 04:13 PM

That's confused me!

one_step_closer 11-12-2023 04:48 PM

That's a shame about your godmother, Tamo. Is anyone else visiting today?

I hope someone gives you some answers soon, Beckie.

Sorry you're not doing great Jen and Dawn.

Cacoethes 11-12-2023 04:59 PM

It makes no sense tamo!

The dr said i can go to my nail appointment tomorrow, but they want me to stay until Wednesday when the meeting between them, ED team and cmht will happen. I think the plan is to discharge me then though, with a plan.
I've asked if i can go home and then come back on Wednesday for the meeting, she's going to ask.

one_step_closer 11-12-2023 05:01 PM

I hope they can come up with a solution that is good for you, Beckie.

Ahimsa 11-12-2023 05:16 PM

sending love to those who need it.

one_step_closer 11-12-2023 05:19 PM

How are you doing, Beth?

not_so_insig 11-12-2023 05:22 PM

Thanks everyone. My day has got slightly better as I have sorted out a few things :-)

Cacoethes 11-12-2023 05:24 PM

Thanks lindsay!
I was gonna say my appointment tomorrow is a couple of hours earlier than it is, so i can have a sneaky couple of hours at home XD
i don't think they'd actually care tbh! Not like i need to be here for anything!

Hey beth!
How're you doing?

long road 11-12-2023 05:29 PM

Sneaky Beckie! Just don't push them into sending out a search party!

I am existing.

Cacoethes 11-12-2023 05:34 PM

Nah. They'd just call me!
They did when i went to tesco yesterday, i think mainly because it was raining. But they have my number.
They didn't even search my bags properly earlier because 'we trust you'
(I did stand there for ages waiting for someone to check them. I had to ask XD)

Existing is bettet than not existing.
Though i know it can not feel like that sometimes
Sending much love

Ahimsa 11-12-2023 05:41 PM

Did you get anything good in Tesco?

I'm SO tired, I decided to build a table last night and was up til 3, then woke up at 6, boo!
I've been to feed my friends cats, picked up a parcel, and am going to a yoga class tonight before I feed the cats again and go to Aldi to get things to make soup for dinner.

Cacoethes 11-12-2023 06:18 PM

Got some granola yogurts and a tuna pasta bake ready meal
And also a hot chocolate at Costa

Seems like a random thing to do at 3am!!
Sounds like a busy day

long road 11-12-2023 07:02 PM

Thanks Beckie

Pasta bake ftw!!! God tier dinner.

Was the late night DIY on purpose or did time run away with you Beth?

one_step_closer 11-12-2023 07:08 PM

I hate building flat pack.

You do so much, Beth!

You've made me want granola yoghurt, Beckie!

Cacoethes 11-12-2023 07:14 PM

It was a very good tuna pasta bake!
Not as good as home made, obvs. But still good!

Granola yogurt is always a good idea

one_step_closer 11-12-2023 07:15 PM

Did it contain cheese?

I like to get nutty granola and coconut flavoured yoghurt.

Cacoethes 11-12-2023 07:27 PM

It did!

That sounds nice!
Mine was a raspberry and chia seed one

long road 11-12-2023 07:48 PM

Glad it was a good one Beckie

I just had a non epileptic seizure while on phone to mental health place. Not a vibe

Cacoethes 11-12-2023 07:54 PM

Oh no jen!
How inconvenient

long road 11-12-2023 07:57 PM

Indeed just trying to get some rest now, am mentally still.spicy.

not_so_insig 11-12-2023 08:05 PM

Oh that sucks Jen. Hope you can recover soon.

Cacoethes 11-12-2023 08:09 PM

Sounds awful jen.
Hope you get some respite from all this crap soon <3

long road 11-12-2023 08:22 PM

My brother is visiting this week Wednesday evening -Saturday afternoon. Am hoping that at least cheers me up. Even if it doesn't help with physical symptoms.

Thanks for your kind words Beckie and Dawn xx

tamobhuuta 11-12-2023 09:06 PM

Would anyone like a hug?

Cacoethes 11-12-2023 09:17 PM

Having family around can really help!

No problem jen. We're here :)

Hugs always appreciated, even though I'm pretty ok atm XD

tamobhuuta 11-12-2023 09:48 PM

*hugs Cacoethes*

long road 11-12-2023 09:59 PM

Hugs please.

Well asthma clearly didn't want to be left out of the party so not only I am mentally spicy, and have had a seizure today but I am now having an asthma attack. Nebuliser seems to be helping but I seem to be having a very bad day

Cacoethes 11-12-2023 10:08 PM

Thanks tamo :)

Well, they say things come in threes! So hopefully that's your 3 done
