Good plan

tamobhuuta 30-05-2023 10:53 AM

What are you doing on your last day at your mum's?

one_step_closer 30-05-2023 11:06 AM

Morning. I have read but don't feel up to replying. Just in to say hello before I have to go to the gym group. My support worker wouldn't let me off. Just had to attempt to wash and dry my hair which I am terrible at (the drying part) so hoping the wet bits will dry themselves soon. I hope you all have a good day. Will be back later.

Also - where do you find all these facts, Jenna? I never saw anything sneaky and interesting when I was a mod.

tamobhuuta 30-05-2023 11:14 AM

Hi osc. I hope you enjoy the gym group, or it is at least not too horrible!

Cacoethes 30-05-2023 11:16 AM

Not a lot.
Watching Hot Fuzz currently! Making brownies later.

Hope the gym group isn't too horrendous lindsay

Back from the doctors. Nurse had a medical student with her and then after reviewing me they both went and got GP. It was funny the med student was following them around like a duckling XD

We have a treatment plan, we are avoiding steroids for now and basically monitoring it in the short term and refer me to the hospital to check why it keeps happening in the long term. Plus have to get bloods and a chest x-ray and use my reliever more regularly and try omeprazole in case my acid reflux is triggering it.

Now around half an hour to chill until my OT calls about my FND.

not_so_insig 30-05-2023 11:38 AM

Morning all. I am having an tesco shopping order today and my cpn. Thankfully not at the same time! See if I get IDed today.

tamobhuuta 30-05-2023 12:05 PM

Sounds like they were very thorough LR. Hope everything goes OK with the OT.

Hi insig. Do you have some ID ready just in case?!

long road 30-05-2023 12:14 PM

Very thorough indeed Tamo, it's reassuring they are taking things seriously and at the same point not just jumping into steroids. How is your day going?

Hope CPN and shopping goes well Dawn. My partner is picking up our click and collect order this afternoon

Cacoethes 30-05-2023 12:16 PM

I love med students. They're adorable!

Sounds like a decent plan!
Hope the OT appointment goes ok

Brownies are in the oven!

tamobhuuta 30-05-2023 12:19 PM

My day's ok. Looking forward to doctors :) I'm going to try some reading before lunch.

Cacoethes 30-05-2023 12:44 PM

Hope you enjoy doctors!

not_so_insig 30-05-2023 12:44 PM

Yes tamobhuuta I have my ID ready so if they ask for it it won't take forever to find it. It's uber important I get my alcohol as its a present for my dad. Only 2 substitutions this time in my order and no unavailable items. The substitutions are acceptable.

Thanks Jen.

They are he was wearing duck socks, I complimented him on them and showed him that I too was wearing duck socks.

I am happy to have a proper plan in place rather than just more steroids.

OT went well, case of keep doing what I am doing, try and rest earlier not just when pain hits and review in a month to see if I am ready to adjust routine by setting alarm earlier and upping how far I walk in garden. I plan to try and add my gentle yoga back in now I am doing pretty well with getting outside and walking to and from garden chair.

Good old doctors. Haven't watched it in years but used to enjoy it, is Mrs Tembe still in it? What you reading?

tamobhuuta 30-05-2023 01:05 PM

Mrs Tembe is long gone! My book is called At Midnight, it's fairy tales retold. Some are ok, some I'm skipping over. I think they're aimed at teen girls really.

long road 30-05-2023 01:07 PM

Hopefully she left non dramatically? She was one of my favourites when I watched.

Sometimes stuff aimed at teens is easier reading than stuff aimed at adults. And in my opinion can be just as good. The good thing about story collections is you can pick and choose and don't have to read it all.

not_so_insig 30-05-2023 01:08 PM

Mrs Tembe is now in Corrie! Well the actress who played her is.

Cacoethes 30-05-2023 01:11 PM

I love that he was wearing duck socks! XD

Sounds like a good plan!

I've only watched doctors like twice, years ago, but why do I remember Mrs Tembe?? XD

Pi.R^2 30-05-2023 01:16 PM

Because she was a force of nature!

Lindsay, it’s not anything modly, I just use the member search and sort by post count.

tamobhuuta 30-05-2023 01:22 PM

I can't actually remember how she left...

Cacoethes 30-05-2023 01:24 PM

She was, from what i can remember!

His ducks had sunglasses and mine don't so technically I think his socks were cooler :cool: :hehe:

Mrs Tembe was a force to be reckoned with. Glad the actress still has steady work, I have family who are actors and regular jobs are like gold dust.

Cacoethes 30-05-2023 01:33 PM

That's awesome!

I knew a HCA in one mh hospital whose uncle is/was rick Griffin in holby!

not_so_insig 30-05-2023 01:34 PM

My tesco shopping has arrived. I have put everything away bar one thing. But that's a heavy one so am having a rest before tackling it.

Ahimsa 30-05-2023 01:35 PM

Hey all,

Looks like everyone is having busy days! How are the brownies looking Beckie?

tamobhuuta 30-05-2023 01:35 PM

Well done insig.

Pi.R^2 30-05-2023 01:36 PM

Beth Beth Beth!!!!

Ahimsa 30-05-2023 01:42 PM

Yes yes yes?

Pi.R^2 30-05-2023 01:43 PM

I just bought a purple car!!

Ahimsa 30-05-2023 01:43 PM

OMG!

Details please!

Cacoethes 30-05-2023 01:55 PM

I too love Rick Griffin!

Helloo beth!
The brownies are delicious, if i do say so myself!

Jenna, i demand a jpg of the purple car!

Pi.R^2 30-05-2023 02:02 PM

I have sent a jpg to the interested parties!

tamobhuuta 30-05-2023 02:24 PM

Doctors was good.

not_so_insig 30-05-2023 02:28 PM

I am glad that you enjoyed it tamobhuuta.

Cacoethes 30-05-2023 02:52 PM

It is a beautiful car!

Pi.R^2 30-05-2023 03:31 PM

Doctors is almost always good imo!!

And thanks Beckie, glad you approve!

tamobhuuta 30-05-2023 03:51 PM

Agreed Pi.

one_step_closer 30-05-2023 04:48 PM

Twinnies with purple cars! I wish I had a purple car.

Cacoethes 30-05-2023 04:53 PM

Me too!

one_step_closer 30-05-2023 04:58 PM

We can all just get purple cars, that would be amazing. And Jenna can pay for them all.

Cacoethes 30-05-2023 05:05 PM

Sounds good to me XD

one_step_closer 30-05-2023 05:11 PM

Are you looking forward to going home, Beckie? Well done for not going completely crazy!

Cacoethes 30-05-2023 05:14 PM

I really am!
My first bus is at 7:48, gets me into B at 8:25, then bus home is at 8:55. So works out rather well! Just hope that all buses are on time!

one_step_closer 30-05-2023 05:15 PM

That's an early bus. I hope everything works out perfectly and the piggies have organised something nice to welcome you home.

Cacoethes 30-05-2023 05:32 PM

I'll be awake anyway! Lol
And at least it means I won't have to wait around alll day to leave! Prefer to get things done!
I have the meeting at 10:30 anyway

long road 30-05-2023 05:39 PM

I can't drive but a purple car does sound cool!

I just spent ages cleaning my sandals for some strange reason they have honeycomb inner soles and there was aload if sand and nastyness stuck in between them.

one_step_closer 30-05-2023 05:47 PM

Yeah, I hate waiting around too. I hope your meeting goes well (apologies, can't remember what it's for).

You're allowed a purple car anyway Jen, since Jenna is paying she said it's ok. So you'd feel the sand etc on your feet? Or is it on the outside? Sounds like a tedious job!
