Three posts in a row woo go me! K just left. We ran later than planned so partner and I are ordering dinner from the pie shop.

nonperson 13-07-2023 07:28 PM

Want pie now.

not_so_insig 13-07-2023 07:55 PM

Hello all.

long road 13-07-2023 08:09 PM

That takes me right back to the early 2000's NP!

I had vegan pie, mash, peas and gravy. I think they are talking bout sweet pie. But let's be honest pretty much all pie is good pie.

Hey Dawn, how has the day treated you?

nonperson 13-07-2023 09:03 PM

It takes me back too, Jen! I still can't hear the word pie without hearing them say it XD

Cacoethes 13-07-2023 09:15 PM

Ahhhh weebl and bob!
I was in my goth/emo phase when i used to watch those.
Found the 'I'm a goths' episode very amusing XD

not_so_insig 13-07-2023 09:40 PM

It's been ok Jen.

nonperson 13-07-2023 09:41 PM

I know I must have watched more than just the pie one but I can't remember any now o.O

Cacoethes 14-07-2023 06:02 AM

Early 2000's was the best time for batshit crazy animation XD

Morning everyone!

not_so_insig 14-07-2023 09:43 AM

Morning all.

tamobhuuta 14-07-2023 10:29 AM

Morning guys. I'm back!

Cacoethes 14-07-2023 10:47 AM

Morning!

How was it tamo?

tamobhuuta 14-07-2023 11:01 AM

It was really great thanks, too short! But I was glad not to get up at 7.20 this morning!

Saw your rv, is everything OK?

Cacoethes 14-07-2023 11:10 AM

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah. Just lots of pain.
L has offered to take me to a&e. The train was pulling in as she said she would, lucky really! Really sweet of her

long road 14-07-2023 11:56 AM

Good Morning (just)

Hope A&E is helpful if you do go Beckie.

I got up on time again and am trying to have a chill day and save my energy for Roleplaying this evening

tamobhuuta 14-07-2023 12:42 PM

Good luck at a&e Cacoethes.

Hi LR :) chill day sounds good

In other news, I am giving up Facebook! The last few days without it, I didn't miss it at all and I had more time for proper activities.

one_step_closer 14-07-2023 02:43 PM

Hey everyone. Sorry for being quiet.

I hope everything turns out ok, Beckie. Sending lots of good wishes.

I'm glad you enjoyed the retreat, Tamo. 7.20am is way too early to get up! Hope you had a nice lie in. Facebook can be such a waste of time. Do you think you'll find other activities to take its place?

I hope you have a nice chilled day, Jen and enjoy role play later.

Hey Dawn, how are things?

tamobhuuta 14-07-2023 03:11 PM

I hope I will spend more time meditating! But may well watch more telly...

How are you osc?

Cacoethes 14-07-2023 05:45 PM

Thanks guys
I'm home now.
Going back tomorrow morning for a scan

How is everyone?

tamobhuuta 14-07-2023 06:08 PM

Scans are good. I'm ok, watching TV.

one_step_closer 14-07-2023 06:11 PM

Are you in less pain, Beckie? How are you feeling in general? Fingers crossed that the scan is helpful and you don't need loads of other tests.

What are you watching, Tamo?

Cacoethes 14-07-2023 06:27 PM

Pain isn't really much better. I had some fairly strong painkillers but they wore off pretty fast. And then IV paracetamol.
He said i could stay until the scan tomorrow if i wanted, but it was either be in pain sat in an uncomfortable chair all night, causing extra pain, or come home and be in pain and go back tomorrow. No brainer really!
I won't have to queue again. Straight into radiology.

tamobhuuta 14-07-2023 07:07 PM

Who would sit in a&e all night?
I'm watching Rev. It's Tom Hollander as a vicar.

Cacoethes 14-07-2023 07:11 PM

I really don't know!

Hope you enjoy it tamo

long road 14-07-2023 07:33 PM

I guess someone who couldn't get home safely Or who lived alone and was worried about getting worse? Or maybe someone who wanted to get continued access to hospital pain meds.

But in a chair all night in A&E when you don't have to isn't something I would do!

Hope scan tomorrow gives you an answer as to what is up and it's something that is easy to treat /fix Beckie.

I might get to finish my roleplaying campaign tonight but we are having a shorter session as our teacher friend has been on a week away wrangling school kids and is tired. so it might spill into next week.

tamobhuuta 14-07-2023 07:56 PM

Wise thoughts! Enjoy your evening.

long road 14-07-2023 09:12 PM

I am having fun roleplaying.

And I just had some cinnamon ice cream with honeycomb and malteaser chunks and it was absolutely delicious!!

not_so_insig 14-07-2023 09:45 PM

Hello all.

long road 14-07-2023 10:36 PM

Evening Dawn

Cacoethes 15-07-2023 05:59 AM

Thanks guys!

Those are good points jen.
Glad you enjoyed your ice cream! Sounds delicious!

Morning everyone!

nonperson 15-07-2023 09:16 AM

Morning everyone.

Hope the scans go ok, Beckie.

tamobhuuta 15-07-2023 10:15 AM

Morning guys. How are we all?

not_so_insig 15-07-2023 10:31 AM

Morning all. I have been on holiday hence the radio silence. It was good but involved a lot of walking.

tamobhuuta 15-07-2023 10:51 AM

The longest walk on my retreat was from my room to the tearoom... well done!

not_so_insig 15-07-2023 11:11 AM

Thanks tamobhuuta. I did a lot of steps. I have my cat back from the cattery where he stayed and at home now. I think he missed me.

tamobhuuta 15-07-2023 11:25 AM

I hope you're having lots of cuddles :)

not_so_insig 15-07-2023 12:24 PM

He is certainly very affectionate more than usual.

Cacoethes 15-07-2023 12:33 PM

Thanks np
Still at hospital. They sent me to same day emergency care for more bloods and to see surgeons again. Waiting for blood results now. I am sick of being poked and prodded! And only allowed clear fluids, which is probably the worst part XD

tamobhuuta 15-07-2023 01:03 PM

Oh dear that doesn't sound good.

one_step_closer 15-07-2023 01:28 PM

Hi everyone.

I hope you get some answers soon, Beckie and whatever's going on is easily resolved.

How are you NP?

I saw your holiday pics, Dawn. Looks good. I'm glad Spot is back home, he must have missed you.

How are you doing, Tamo? Still off Fb?

tamobhuuta 15-07-2023 01:43 PM

Still off fb! I've deleted the app. How are you?

Cacoethes 15-07-2023 02:28 PM

Thanks
No answers, been sent home with codeine. Come back if it gets bad again
Frustrating
At least it isn't anything serious i suppose.

How's everyone doing this afternoon?

one_step_closer 15-07-2023 02:38 PM

Good for you, Tamo. What have you been doing today?

I'm still struggling.

That doesn't sound great, Beckie. So, just, no idea what's going on? How is your pain and how are you feeling now? Hopefully it will pass and not come back at least.

tamobhuuta 15-07-2023 03:06 PM

Sorry you've got no answers Cacoethes. I hope the codeine helps.

I've just done normal stuff. Been meditating on the text we were looking at for our retreat, and reading a little bit of Salman Rushdie.

Sorry you're struggling osc. What have you been doing?

Cacoethes 15-07-2023 03:13 PM

Sorry you're struggling lindsay. Hope things improve for you, i know it's been hard lately

It's not great really. Pain isn't good. I can't actually remember when i had the codeine in hospital so gonna estimate and leave it a bit longer. I'm also really tired.

Thanks tamo

not_so_insig 15-07-2023 03:55 PM

Yes Lindsay the horrible part of finding a home for everything now. Fortunately I was in self catering accommodation with a washing machine and tumble dryer so I did the majority of my clothes washing whilst I was away so I haven't got a mountain of laundry to do.

one_step_closer 15-07-2023 04:02 PM

Sounds good, Tamo. Have you watched any Casualty since you've been back?

Thanks Tamo and Beckie.

I've done the usual going for meds and getting some food. Done a washing and cleaned the kitchen and bathroom. Read a chapter of my book, wish I could get more into it. Random internetting. Wrote in my diary.

How long will the Codeine last? I hope you can get some relief from the pain and some rest and a good sleep tonight.

That's good at least, Dawn. Did you get yourself some souvenirs?

one_step_closer 15-07-2023 04:04 PM

Saw THAT part of your r/v Beckie. :-D

Cacoethes 15-07-2023 04:04 PM

Doesn't seem to last that long.
I have 2 weeks worth i think. I don't wanna use it too much.

not_so_insig 15-07-2023 04:06 PM

Sorry peeps aren't so great today.
