Morning! Oh no - do you know the cause of the stomach ache? Do take it easy!

Morning!
I've just escaped the ward to get myself a hot chocolate
Very fashionable in my galaxy print trousers, platform converse, hospital gown and hoodie XD
#catwalk

Peppermint tea is good for stomachache tamo!

I think it's constipation, I've taken my prescribed meds.

I thought I was meeting my new support worker at 2pm so I was all laid back. Turns out it's at 11am!

Enjoy your hot chocolate Cacoethes.

Hope the meds help tamo. And lol- best get ready then if it's at 11!

Beckie, hooray for hot chocolate =D Also I hope they cure you soon.

Hello all. Ryl bin day. My ordinary bin has been collected just the recycling that hasn't.

Beckie has real life space pants! Please please please play the song as you walk through the ward.

Morning everyone!

I am not sure how I am this morning. Think I may be a tiny bit better than yesterday but haven't done much to find out, still tired and a bit out of it. Didn't sleep until sometime after 2am and then woke up at 8am but managed to get back to sleep for an hour or so.

Hope all the ill people feel better soon and that you get well enough to be discharged Beckie.

Anything exciting happening in Jenna land?

Hope your appointment goes ok tamo!

They are currently refusing to give me painkillers that might actually work. So I'm not hopeful.
Been taking paracetamol, ibuprofen and codeine since Tuesday night and none of it works.
Their solution 'ok, we'll prescribed more paracetamol and ibuprofen'????

OMG! I DO have space pants!!!
I shall refrain from playing the song, last thing i need is have to wait for psych liason as well as waiting for all the other stuff XD

Take things as they come jen! And take it easy!

Thanks jen :)

I hope that all the poorly people feel better soon, and I agree that the song is 100% necessary.

Thanks Lio!
How are you doing?

I will listen to the song with my headphones on XD

You should film a space pants tik tok when you get out!
XD

I managed to shower which I am counting as a win. Took a lot of energy but it's nice to be clean. Don't worry Beckie am taking it very easy. No plans today.

It went OK with the support worker. I'm going to the bookshop with her next Wednesday so I've got time to psych myself up.

Sorry people aren't feeling well. Sending healthful vibes.

Well done for showering Jen, hope a day of no plans help you feel better.

Glad it went well with the support worker tamo, have you had a support worker for long?

*glues Lio to thread*

Ooh look, 5 members viewing the thread! *waves at everyone*

If asterisks get turned into pound signs I'm going to flip a table.

Just waiting for mri
*crosses fingers*

If they do jenna, I'll flip all the imaginary bins in the thread. Including the recycling ones

Our asterisks are saved! Our bins and tables, imaginary or otherwise may remain undisturbed.

I'm sure they'll mention it but remember to take out your piercings before the MRI!

Phew the imaginary furniture is safe!

Glad meeting support worker went ok Tamo.

Important announcement. I will hopefully be getting my macbook back today (but see if i don?t, grrr) so soon i should be back to annoying you and you?ll want me gone.

*crosses fingers MacBook is fixed today*

I took out most of them. But there was a stubborn ear one! And i could keep the face ones and my neck one in.

Hope you get your macbook back today! We miss you!

Woo! The return of Lindsay is imminent!

Hi osc, looking forward to having you back!

Pi, today I met her for the first time.

Hope that you didn't stick to the MRI machine Beckie. When I had one I was allowed no metal anywhere

They're more relaxed about it nowadays it seems.
Could keep bra on and everything!
And i got to listen to the radio XD

I got to listen to radio although you rarely her with with the racket the machine makes!

Weird they wouldn't even let me wear my joggers with metal on the toggles!

When I had an MRI it was same as lr, no metal at all. But they did play me music :)

Hooray for the return of Lindsay!

I've never had an MRI, they don't sound like much fun

To update you all on my exciting adventures I am at T’s house to water her snake trying to work out how to coax him out for handling time!

Water a snake???

Well, as in give it water. It has a perfectly good dish of water but allegedly needs refreshing every two days. Think I killed her cress as well so that’ll teach her to send me to water her plants and pets when she’s away

Oh ok I get it. Can you revive the cress?

I literally imagined you using a watering can on a snake XD

Water left to open air for too long can become stagnant and develop bacteria. That's why they tell you to always drinking from running water in a survival situation.

Hello all. A woman who was sitting next to me triggered me on the bus so not feeling so great. But I will be ok.

MRIs are not much fun!
I've just had a full eye check at the eye clinic, my pupils are still messed up from that dilating stuff XD
But everything seems fine. So i am being released! Have to go back to the eye clinic in 2 weeks because eye is definitely affected, but structurally sound!

I knew what jenna meant but also imagined using a watering can on a snake XD

Look after yourself insig.

Glad you're OK Cacoethes.

Thanks!
So pleased to be getting out of here!

At least they have found no major problems and you get to go home. Hospital is never a fun place to be. Even if it is sometimes the best place for you!

Just a jolly reminder that this is general chat so anything of a more serious/triggering nature needs to be in the serious chat thread, your RV or a support thread. Thanks gang!

Now without my mod hat, so pleased that you're out in time for your holiday Beckie!

omg, that reminds me that K and I had a lengthy dispute about the location of Heathrow yesterday so hope you have better luck locating it :P

How was it a lengthy dispute when Google maps exist???

Well. The short answer is that K and I can make a lengthy dispute out of anything.

We were discussing where to park for the meet as we're coming from Hampshire (which often moves so doesn't help but it's currently like underneath London) and were discussing parking near Harrow-ish but then I said that technically Heathrow end was closest then K kept saying things that didn't make sense and we eventually established that they were saying if we are going for closest tube station we needed Reading as they were under the impression that Reading was south of Heathrow. Then we debated that (and also the definition of 'tube station') and even when I looked on the map on my phone I couldn't get both labelled in the same screen and it was a right old fiasco. The conclusion is that I'll independently look up some parking options.

How amusing! I suggest somewhere outside the M25 because nobody has time for the M25.

I would have been out in time anyway. But it was nice that i was actually ALLOWED to go XD

All that disputing has made my brain hurt

Oh dear you best have a lie down Beckie! Doubt you slept properly last night considering your accomodation.

I just finished watching Harry Potter 1. I forgot how weird the first Voldemort was.

I actually slept remarkably well! Which is very odd!
It was a pretty chill bay though.
No screaming old people or dementia patients. Nice bunch.

Yeah first voldy was a bit weird!

Somehow Voldemort looks better with no nose. Which is something I don't think I have said about anyone fictional or otherwise before.

Probably because we're just so used to images of full voldy?

True anyone is going to look weird on the back of someone else's head in bad cgi

Yeah. Not really a flattering situation for anyone

Good thing it's not a common occurrence!

I watching number 2 now. There are all on itvx at the moment. Which means they are free although I have to endure occassional ads. The movies are pure nostalgia for me. Although I do not agree with JK's views at all.

The first film is my favourite. I thought he was sans nose in the other films too?
