Argh, Beckie you've got me singing "that's what makes the world go round" now.

Maybe it'll be too wet on the ground for the snow to settle properly, Lindsay.

It's very windy here. =/

Cacoethes 11-01-2021 06:54 PM

Haha! Good! :p

What np said lindsay! The ground might be too wet for snow to settle.

I haven't been outside today but I didn't find it that cold yesterday. I wasn't outside for long though

nonperson 11-01-2021 07:13 PM

Except I can't remember all the words so there's a lot of "doo be do, doo bee do, that's what makes the world go round" going on. >.>

Yesterday was cold but it's much warmer this week. Just horribly windy now though!

Cacoethes 11-01-2021 07:37 PM

I don’t know all the words either!
It is catchy though!

I’ve just watched finding dory and am on Star Wars now.

Wind is awful!

nonperson 11-01-2021 07:43 PM

Ooh, some excellent movie choices there. =)

not_so_insig 11-01-2021 07:54 PM

Beckie did you know that tonight a new series of 999 what's your emergency is starting? I know that you like that programme. Plus channel 5 has an series of a&e after dark at the same time but idk if you watch it.

Cacoethes 11-01-2021 07:59 PM

Thanks np!

Ooo thanks dawn! I’ll be sure to watch it on catch up tomorrow!

one_step_closer 12-01-2021 09:54 AM

Morning everyone, how are you all?

Cacoethes 12-01-2021 11:14 AM

Morning lindsay
I'm ok thanks
How are you?

not_so_insig 12-01-2021 12:54 PM

Hello all.

Beckie 999 what's your emergency dealt with mh issues last night. You might want to avoid it in case it makes your mh worse.

Cacoethes 12-01-2021 01:09 PM

Hi dawn
How are you?

Thanks for the heads up
I'll probably avoid it then

tamobhuuta 12-01-2021 03:32 PM

Hello everyone. I left the house! Just for a blood test. How are you today?

Cacoethes 12-01-2021 03:44 PM

Hey tamo
That's not a fun reason to leave the house!
How are you today?
I'm ok thanks

tamobhuuta 12-01-2021 04:55 PM

Frustration! I know my CPN is in the office today because he phoned my sister as the Duty CPN, yet he hasn't even texted me. Please could everyone send "contact tamo" vibes to him.

I hope this post is permissible, it didn't feel Serious.

one_step_closer 12-01-2021 05:11 PM

My CPN sometimes wasn't allowed to contact me when she was on Duty. But you could phone Duty yourself?

tamobhuuta 12-01-2021 05:19 PM

I can't be bothered, I'll see if he rings tomorrow. I only want to hassle him about a psych appointment.

Cacoethes 12-01-2021 05:23 PM

That is frustrating tamo!

not_so_insig 12-01-2021 06:53 PM

Hello all.

tamobhuuta 12-01-2021 08:14 PM

Hi insig, how are you?

not_so_insig 12-01-2021 09:22 PM

I am ok thanks.

Cacoethes 12-01-2021 10:42 PM

Hi Dawn
Glad you’re ok

I put my phone on charge, just gone to collect it and some idiot had taken it off charge so it’s not charged up enough :plain:

tamobhuuta 13-01-2021 11:46 AM

Good morning.

Cacoethes 13-01-2021 12:00 PM

Morning tamo
How are you?

one_step_closer 13-01-2021 01:39 PM

Afternoon, how are your days going?

Cacoethes 13-01-2021 01:50 PM

Afternoon lindsay!
How are you?

My day is going ok thanks.
Put some washing on earlier and had an assessment thingy with the OT and had a call from the electrician about doing a check of the house.
Need to put phone on charge but 'protected mealtimes' :eyeroll:

one_step_closer 13-01-2021 01:53 PM

That's quite a lot you've been doing. How does putting your phone on charge affect protected mealtimes?! I hope you get it charged soon.

I'm low and anxious.

Cacoethes 13-01-2021 02:27 PM

It’s really stupid. The staff won’t do anything during protected meal times. Even though everyone has finished eating within half an hour! Usually less!
Protected mealtimes is for an hour.

Sorry to hear that Lindsay. Anything I can do to help?

tamobhuuta 13-01-2021 02:48 PM

In my local hospital there are protected meal times but that only applies to visitors.

I'm ok, my godmother is calling me this afternoon.

Cacoethes 13-01-2021 02:52 PM

I think it originally just applied to visitors but has evolved for some reason. There are no visitors allowed at the moment anyway
I think the staff are just lazy.

That’s good tamo

one_step_closer 13-01-2021 03:48 PM

I've been in hospitals where psychiatrists have asked to see me for ward round when I was just starting my lunch.

Did you get your phone charged eventually?

Thank you for your kindness Beckie, but I don't think anyone can do much.

I hope you enjoy your call with your godmother Tamo.

Cacoethes 13-01-2021 03:50 PM

That sounds annoying lindsay!
The doctors have like a 2 hour long lunch break so no danger of that happening!

I did thanks!
And got my washing out of the dryer and put it away.

If there's anything you can think of then let me know!

one_step_closer 13-01-2021 03:51 PM

You're having a productive day Beckie!

Cacoethes 13-01-2021 04:20 PM

I am!
It's weird!

tamobhuuta 13-01-2021 04:58 PM

Well done on being active Cacoethes.

What are you up to osc?

I had a lovely chat with my godmother. Now I'm having tea.

not_so_insig 13-01-2021 04:59 PM

Last time I was IP I had to have meds with my meal twice a day so I was hassled each time I ate. I felt like saying **** off and leave me to eat in peace. That won't be happening again with those meds as I have put on my advance directive not to have them (not just because of that reason but the fact it gave me pins and needles all the time I took them).

tamobhuuta 13-01-2021 05:02 PM

Hi insig :) how are you?

not_so_insig 13-01-2021 05:03 PM

I am ok thanks tamobhuuta. Glad you had a chat with your godmother.

Cacoethes 13-01-2021 05:16 PM

Thanks tamo

Glad you had a nice chat with your godmother

That sounds super annoying Dawn!

one_step_closer 13-01-2021 06:24 PM

I've never been anywhere where they don't hand out meds in the middle of meals.

Keeping busy is good for you as long as it's not too busy.

I'm glad you had a nice chat Tamo.

What will you all be doing this evening?

Cacoethes 13-01-2021 06:33 PM

They always do them after meals here

I actually wish I had more to do!
I’m so bored!

I FaceTimed with jasmine earlier. It was really nice

Cacoethes 14-01-2021 11:27 AM

Morning guys

I got locked IN my room this morning!
The lock is dodgy so I never lock it but one of the staff locked it this morning for some reason and I couldn't get out! Had to press the alarm and then they took ages because the alarm system is stupid and never tells them exactly where the alarm is coming from so they went down the opposite corridor.
What a fun morning.....

tamobhuuta 14-01-2021 11:57 AM

That sounds really scary!

Cacoethes 14-01-2021 12:10 PM

It was mainly frustrating because i really needed the toilet as well!

How are you tamo?

tamobhuuta 14-01-2021 12:12 PM

We're more fortunate, the rooms have little bathrooms.

I'm ok. Waiting for a call from my spiritual director, she's a bit late which is unusual.

Cacoethes 14-01-2021 12:28 PM

Jealous!
One of the wards in the county does. And all the male wards do which is really unfair!!!

I hope it goes well!

tamobhuuta 14-01-2021 12:32 PM

That is very unfair :/ do you have anything to do today?

She said she would call at 11 but...

It's ok, I've got a cup of tea while I wait.

Cacoethes 14-01-2021 12:39 PM

Just ward round at 1:30


How odd. Maybe she got caught up with another phone call or something

tamobhuuta 14-01-2021 12:54 PM

Yeah, maybe. Do you have anything you want to say in ward rounds?

Cacoethes 14-01-2021 01:14 PM

Just that I want to go home. But I don’t think they will agree to that. I have nothing else I want to say.
Leave is not allowed because of covid so I can’t go anywhere beyond the car park so can’t ask for any leave.

tamobhuuta 14-01-2021 01:23 PM

*hugs* I hope you get home soon - safely!
