Bless their little cotton socks. New juinors are kind of adorable in a weird way.

I saw consultant very briefly earlier she just listened to my chest when I was struggling and got me to take reliever inhaler. Havent had a proper chat with a doctor yet. Which is the bit I need to come up with a plan and hopefully get out of here.

They are adorable. Funny when a consultant asks them questions and i can see them visibly panicking. Which sounds mean, but it's just quite cute XD

Usually a&e gets a bit quieter in the morning, in my experience.
So fingers crossed!

I know exactly what you mean! XD

Fingers crossed indeed. In 20 minutes I will have been awake 24 hours. I am doing relatively well considering no sleep, I have rested a bit though.

Uh that's grim! I hate being awake for that long i end up getting really emotional over really stupid things.
Like when i got back from a&e after being awake for over 48 hours, and i put my last 2 slices of fruit bread in the toaster then forgot about it and they burned. And i had a complete crying breakdown about it XD

Is your partner still with you?

I think the steroids making me wired is helping deal with the having been awake too long. For once it's a good side effect.

Burning fruit toast is pretty sad at normal times let alone when your capacity for stress is gone because you have no sleep.

Partner is with me but he is managing to nap in a plastic chair and one of us should get some rest. So not chatting, nice to have him nearby though. Will nudge him if I get worse or doctor turns up

Yeah, that'd help!

True!
I wouldn't have been as upset if it wasn't my last 2 pieces! And i didn't have money to buy more.

That's good that he's there. And very impressive thst he's managing to sleep in a plastic chair!

Fruit toast is amazing. I want some fruit toast now, might order some on Sundays shop.

Losing the last two pieces with no way to get more is especially sad.

He is only dozing and devery now and then wakes himself up but I couldn't sleep on the bed thing!

I have now been in A&E 6 hours, ambulanc were with me for nearly an hour. Add the 20 minutes I spent at GP surgery and the 3 and a bit hours in Same day urgent care yesterday and I have officially spent too much time in healthcare settings in last 24 hours. XD

Good plan!

Yes, it was probably up there with top 5 saddest things that have ever happened to me
RIP fruit bread

Those bed/trolley things are super uncomfortable!
I can only physically sleep on them after a seizure. Could probably sleep anywhere after a seizure tbh!

That's a long time! And not the ideal location to spend a lot of time in!

Totally understandable it would make top 5.

The trolley bed things in minors are worse than the ones in majors more like the examination couches you get at the gp

My Seizures are exhausting and I don't even have epileptic ones so I can imagine you could sleep anywhere.

Looks like it's shift change so I might get a wide awake fresh doctor when I finally see them.

They sound even worse!!!

Yeah, they suck! I once slept for a full 2 days after one!

I remain hopeful!

And I'm working tonight now. Lol
I would do all day, but i have plans with L.
Saturday night. That's gonna be fun! x.x

The minors beds rate lvery low


With work think of the mullah! Ooh fun plans?

Thanks for chatting with me. Helping me stay distracted and be less bored.
*Waves at stealth np*

Yes that's what's keeping me going!
Tbh if it wasn't E that asked me to cover her, i probably wouldn't have agreed!

No problem! Nice to have someone to chat to! Usually there's no one awake here for a while XD

Sorry I disappeared. Body rudely decided to have a non epileptic seizure. And I got introduced to the floor. Nice nurse helped Partner look out for me and get me up.

But yeah if it's not one thing it's another.

Always worth helping E out she seems a good egg.

I will try and get up earlier for chats in future :p

Morning peeps.

Morning Tamo! (Although because I haven't been to bed yet it doesn't really feel like morning)

How are you today?

Morning!

Sorry to hear you've had a seizure Jen.

How is everyone this morning?

I am off to visit a chiropodist soon, how horrifying.

Urgh feet. But I'm sure they will be totally professional!

I'm off to the cinema this evening so I'm out of tracky bums.

Yeah, imagine if a chiropodist hated feet and was like 'yuck' every time they saw a client :P

What are you off to see?

Barbie. Apparently it's feminist *nods wisely*

I have just left A&E after finally seeing the doctor as asthma has stabilised. Will probably write more in my RV but it's been stressful but also kind of chill.

Going home to eat breakfast, take meds and hopefullyget some sleep

Sorry you're not great, Jen. Are you still in hospital?

I hope you have a good day and manage things ok, Beckie.

Hope you enjoy the cinema, Tamo.

Good luck, Jenna. Hope it's not too awful.

I have been to the chemist, post office, and Tesco. Also did a washing and cleaned the kitchen and bathroom. Don't know how I'll occupy myself for the rest of the day.

Oh, just saw your post Jen. Glad you've left A&E now. I hope the rest of your day is better.

Hey everyone!

Sorry about the seizure jen! I'm glad you're out of A&E though and i hope you are now asleep!

Chiropodists are so weird. Why on earth would you go to uni and think 'yeah, i wanna touch loads of feet for the rest of my life'
Vom.

Well done for doing stuff lindsay!

Haha! I wonder if all chiropodists have foot fetishes.

How are you getting on so far, Beckie?

When i was doing the access to nursing course, there was someone who wanted to be a chiropodist. We all joked that she wanted to be a foot fetish dr.

Not bad! Been to taekwondo and put some washing on.
Waiting to find out when me and L are heading off

Not asleep yet but am finally tucked up in bed and getting properly comfy and cosy. Hoping I can get some kind of sleep.

Good!
Fingers crossed again!!!

My new t shirt came. It says 'hold on, let me overthink this'
:-D

Sweet dreams lr.

Cool t shirt Cacoethes.

Awesome tshirt Beckie!! Hope you enjoy the cinema tamo and feel suitably inspired by the feminist themes :P. Jen, really hope you get a jolly good sleep after all that!

Goodness me Lindsay you’ve done an awful lot already! Is there anything fun/relaxing you could do now?

So i got to the foot fetish place and couldn’t work out how to get in and I ask the people in the dry-cleaners next door and they say the foot-fetish lady has gone and come out with me to check and confirm that it’s closed!! I’m embarrassed and confused without even having to show my feet!

Oh no Pi! I hope you didn't have a long journey too?

Where are you going with L, Beckie? That is a cool t-shirt!

Hope you are sleeping, Jen.

I went on the bus to get Crookshanks a cardboard scratching board because he loves them although they are very messy. He's not too bothered with it right now though instead he is sleeping on my lap. I also went to McDonalds because I had a voucher.

Did you have an appointment, Jenna?

How are you getting on, Tamo?

Yummmmy, McDonalds. I hope Crookshanks shows an interest in his new toy once he's awake.

Yeah, I had an appointment and I feel very confident I got the right day and it was also within their opening hours!

Best thing about McDonald's is the McFlurries :) i hope Crookshanks enjoys his new toy. Are you enjoying the snuggles?

I'm ok. Not great but better than yesterday which is definitely a good thing.

Afternoon all. I am attempting to make an apple crumble. Cheated slightly and bought ready made crumble topping. If it turns out half decent then that's a win.

How annoying jenna! Very strange situation!

We went to the RSPB nature reserve. Had a coffee then did one of the trails. Was really nice!
Then we went to another coffee shop, just because. Then asda because i needed one thing and actually got the one thing instead of loads of things XD
Then chilled at mine for a bit.

Ooh maccies! What did you get?

Made the apple crumble. Too hot to eat rn so am waiting for it to cool down. Will probably have it later with ice cream.

Mmm apple crumble!

Aww that sounds nice Beckie. You might be my new favourite couple!

tamo I disagree with your McDonald's opinions :plain:

Dawn, how did you prepare your apples for your crumble? Hope it's nice!

But.... Pi.... how...???

McFlurry??? It's just vanilla ice cream with a few sprinkles! Absolute let down imo.

I peeled them, sliced them up, added sugar and shoved them in the air fryer for 15 minutes in a cake tin. Then added the crumble mixture on top of the apples and baked for another 10 minutes in the air fryer.

Sounds fun, Beckie.

I got a Big Mac and fries. I am terrible at eating Big Macs, they just don't stay as one thing.

You are very air fryer savvy, Dawn. Hope you enjoy your crumble.

Aww that's sweet jenna! Who was your old favourite couple? XD

I like a mcflurry. But it really is just whippy ice cream with bits of various chocolate in

Yeah big macs never stay in one piece!

I got nearly 4 hours of sleep. Which is a result!

Glad it looks like you guys have been having fun :)

Thanks Lindsay. I have yet to eat it.

Hope you enjoy your crumble when you do eat Dawn. Will you have it after dinner tonight?

I am propped on my sofa watching you tube on my TV. Feeling better than at 1am this morning but around the same as 4pm yesterday. Essentially still I'll but not the illest. Hope I can get some sleep tonight *fingers crossed* 4 hours in 34 is not a vibe!

I'm glad you got some sleep, Jen and will keep my fingers crossed that you get more and have a better night tonight. What are you watching on YouTube?

Just watching some travel vlogs. Might try and watch an actual show in a minute.

We have ordered pasta from the Italian place for dinner. Because partner is not up for cooking and I definitely am not! But I didn't want anything super greasy as my tummy isn't the happiest

How has your day been Lindsay? Has Crookshanks been enjoying his scratch board yet?

What kind of pasta? I hope you enjoy it.

My day has been mixed. Crookshanks has mostly been not bothered by the scratching board and has been sleeping instead.

Enjoy your crumble Dawn, you do indeed seem very skilled with the air fryer.

Beckie - my sister and her boyfriend were my previous favourite couple.

Jen - I too wish to know what pasta you're having!

Lindsay- tell me one of the good bits in your mixed day please :)
