I am ok. Slept for ages. Am waiting for amazon but currently it's showing that it's coming between 4 and 6 pm so probably turn up during Pointless. Most of it is boring practical stuff like a spare remote and personal care stuff but I am having a mh help book.

tamobhuuta 20-08-2024 02:03 PM

Idk. I just want to get out of here.

long road 20-08-2024 02:15 PM

Waiting around sucks! Hope delivery comes sooner rather than later Dawn.

Hospital is never fun Tamo, I hope you are well enough to get home soon

I called GP surgery they couldn't get my named GP to call me but have put me on the duty list for someone to call back. So I am now in waiting mode for the afternoon.

Cacoethes 20-08-2024 02:26 PM

Hope they call soon jen!

Fingers crossed! Sent it first class signed for and got it in before the last post collection

Hey Dawn!

I know the feeling tamo. Hopefully soon!

I am currently sitting in my car. Just wanted to run it for 5 mins so the battery doesn't go flat from just sitting. Would suck when I can eventually drive again if it was dead!
I am feeling the urge to go for a drive. But L's car is in front of mine on the driveway and there are SO many reasons it would be a Very Bad Idea.

not_so_insig 20-08-2024 02:40 PM

Yes not wise Beckie. When you do get your licence back last thing you want is to be banned again.

Cacoethes 20-08-2024 02:42 PM

Exactly dawn!

Cacoethes 20-08-2024 03:13 PM

Very true!
Common sense prevails! For once XD

long road 20-08-2024 03:28 PM

They called just as you posted Beckie at 2:25pm! Am going to see the nurse practioner at 4:15pm so not long now will need to leave around 3:50pm.

Glad commone sense is winning Beckie! Driving without license or insurance or car tax would be very bad.

Cacoethes 20-08-2024 03:47 PM

That's good! Hope they're helpful!

It would be very bad indeed!

long road 20-08-2024 04:07 PM

In the waiting room now. The radio is playing Abba.

Cacoethes 20-08-2024 04:32 PM

Oh nooooo! Not ABBA!

long road 20-08-2024 04:37 PM

It was Fernando and it is now stuck in my head...

Had appointment it went ok, chest is still wheezy but not the worst the nurse has heard my chest. Keep up with plan from hospital to taper steroids, use nebuliser if I start feeling any worse etc. She has also booked me a follow up appointment with the GP asthma nurse from Friday afternoon so I can check in with someone before the weekend.

not_so_insig 20-08-2024 05:00 PM

My amazon order has just arrived! Now to open everything. I doubt I will start the mh book as I am currently reading another book but I am sure that it will prove useful as let's face it, my mh problems aren't going away.

Cacoethes 20-08-2024 05:05 PM

Glad it was helpful jen!

Hope it's a good book dawn!

long road 20-08-2024 05:11 PM

Yeah was helpful. And it's good that have follow up booked in so don't have to worry about trying to get appointment later in week if things haven't got better.

Hope it's a useful book Dawn.

What's everyone up to?

Cacoethes 20-08-2024 05:15 PM

Yeah definitely!

Not up to much atm. Very very tired for some reason. Feel kinda floppy

not_so_insig 20-08-2024 05:20 PM

I am watching Pointless.

Cacoethes 20-08-2024 05:22 PM

Oooh what's the hardest question they've asked so far?
Haven't watched it in ages

one_step_closer 20-08-2024 06:07 PM

Glad you'll be getting some follow up, Jen.

What book did you get, Dawn?

Floppy, Beckie? That doesn't sound good.

Cacoethes 20-08-2024 06:10 PM

It's not really. But we move!

one_step_closer 20-08-2024 06:18 PM

Is L with you?

long road 20-08-2024 06:29 PM

Could floppy be related to low sodium? Please attempt to take care of yourself Beckie.

Love pointless. Haven't watched it in ages though.

Feeling a bit more short of breath now so might do a nebuliser in a minute. Trying breathing exercises and inhaler first.

Cacoethes 20-08-2024 06:35 PM

Yeah she's here :)

Quite possibly! Been getting bad calf pain too.
Blood test tomorrow anyway!

Everything crossed that it works jen!

long road 20-08-2024 06:58 PM

Glad you have L with you. If anything gets worse please go to A&E. I know how much A&E sucks having been there twice in the last week but it's better to be safe. It's good your bloods are getting checked tomorrow though.

Nebuliser seems to have helped for now but still don't feel great so will see how it goes.

Cacoethes 20-08-2024 07:13 PM

I'll be ok. Always am!

Good that it has helped a little at least!
Hope it settles!

long road 20-08-2024 07:27 PM

You have always been ok in the end but there have been some close calls. Sorry to nag I just care about you! I will stop nagging now. I know you have L to look out for you which is reassuring.

I am still not feeling great but not feeling bad enough for more meds so just trying to rest. About to have hotchicken salad wraps and wedges for dinner.

Cacoethes 20-08-2024 07:35 PM

True!
I know. And I appreciate it <3

Your dinner sounds nice!
I really hope you manage to have a settled night!

tamobhuuta 20-08-2024 08:06 PM

Look after yourselves people xxx

long road 20-08-2024 08:08 PM

Managed to bite my tongue while eating dinner so had to stop to sort it out. Have no idea how I managed it really. Feels an epic fail really.

Thanks for the good vibes / well wishes. I do hope my breathing stays relatively chill but my lungs are rather unreliable at the moment.

Ninja Tamo! You look after yourself too

Cacoethes 20-08-2024 08:24 PM

Ouch!! I do that all the time tbh XD

Silly lungs!

Hey tamo!

long road 20-08-2024 08:28 PM

Was worse toungue bite I have had I think. Which is weird cos seizures XD

My lungs really need to learn how to do their job better! I rate them as requires improvement!

Cacoethes 20-08-2024 08:51 PM

Know that feel XD

I agree!

Cacoethes 21-08-2024 08:40 AM

Morning everyone!

tamobhuuta 21-08-2024 09:26 AM

Morning Cacoethes, how are you?

Cacoethes 21-08-2024 09:56 AM

I'm ok thanks
How are you?

long road 21-08-2024 10:02 AM

Morning!

My lungs seem a little more agreeable today. Time will tell though.

Hope your blood test goes ok today Beckie.

Hope your day is as ok as it can be in hospital Tamo. Do you have any visits planned for today?

Cacoethes 21-08-2024 10:04 AM

That's good!
Everything crossed for you!

Thank you :)

not_so_insig 21-08-2024 11:40 AM

Hello all. I am contemplating whether to go to the post office in the next village or not. I have to go at some point because I noticed damage to my new book from amazon so gotta return it. I have to wash my hair at some point too.

Cacoethes 21-08-2024 11:51 AM

Might help with the boredom dawn!

one_step_closer 21-08-2024 12:05 PM

Afternoon everyone.

Hope your blood test goes ok Beckie and you can do some nice things today.

Brain fingers crossed you have a better day today, Jen.

Hope you get some things done, Dawn.

I am freaking out waiting for my phone call from the GP about possibly being referred for an autism assessment. I'm not prepared, don't know what they'll ask, plus I just hate the sound of my phone ringing so that will get it off to an even more anxious start.

Cacoethes 21-08-2024 12:42 PM

Thanks!
Took 3 tries but got there eventually!

I really hope it goes ok lindsay!

one_step_closer 21-08-2024 01:11 PM

I hate when they can't get blood first time. What are you getting up to now?

I think the phone call went ok.

tamobhuuta 21-08-2024 01:24 PM

No visit for me today. Might do some painting this afternoon.

one_step_closer 21-08-2024 01:53 PM

Painting sounds like a good way to pass the time, as long as you are painting something nice.

long road 21-08-2024 02:10 PM

Managed to nap for a bit as was exhausted. Woken up a bit short of breath but at least I got some good rest.

Sending love to you all

not_so_insig 21-08-2024 02:26 PM

Glad you managed to nap Jen.

Cacoethes 21-08-2024 03:14 PM

I had an appointment with my CC which was ok.
Now going to make brownies!

That's good lindsay!

Painting sounds good tamo

Yay for nap jen!

tamobhuuta 21-08-2024 03:26 PM

I was the only one at the art group so the leader showed me how to do the sketch I'd done more in proportion.

Cacoethes 21-08-2024 03:40 PM

That's good tamo. Private tuition!

not_so_insig 21-08-2024 04:09 PM

I have washed and dried my hair. Put the recycling boxes out plus its ordinary bin week this week so put that out too. Decided against the post office but as long as it's done by the 20th of September it doesn't matter when.
