Fingers crossed. Feel free to post in your thread if you need to.

tamobhuuta 13-02-2024 02:07 PM

Hope your body gets better Cacoethes.

Hope you get to do your role playing this evening lr.

Hi insig, how are you?

Cacoethes 13-02-2024 02:36 PM

Thank you jen and tamo <3

one_step_closer 13-02-2024 02:44 PM

I really hope you are all ok. Please take care, I care about you. I'm going to be admitted to hospital so probably won't be around much if at all. Duty are picking me up at 3pm even though I said I'd go on the bus but the bus takes about 2 hours to get there.

long road 13-02-2024 03:12 PM

Sending hugs Lindsay I hope the admission is helpful and that the car ride with duty isn't too awkward!

not_so_insig 13-02-2024 03:15 PM

Apart from a slightly aching head I am ok tamobhuuta.

Lindsay I hope you get the care and support you need in hospital. I also hope your stay isn't too long.

Cacoethes 13-02-2024 04:22 PM

Sending lots of love lindsay

tamobhuuta 13-02-2024 05:34 PM

Sending lots of love and hugs osc. I hope the admission helps.

long road 13-02-2024 07:22 PM

Evening everyone!

My asthma is currently behaving although still feeling pretty fragile. Shall see how it goes over the evening

Plan is to chill a bit. Have a dinner and then meet up for roleplaying online about 7:30pm/8pm.

Cacoethes 13-02-2024 07:24 PM

Hey jen

Sounds like a good plan

long road 13-02-2024 07:36 PM

I am just hoping asthma doesn't ruin the plan!

How are you doing this evening?

Cacoethes 13-02-2024 07:38 PM

Hopefully not

I'm still the same
No call from cpn which is annoying, especially as she has been emailed by several people (crisis twice, plus PLS) and i phoned today.
Krav maga in a bit. Too tired but it'll hopefully cheer me up

tamobhuuta 13-02-2024 08:02 PM

Sorry your cpn didn't call Cacoethes.

Kaeserspetzel for dinner!

Cacoethes 13-02-2024 09:55 PM

Thanks tamo
Hopefully tomorrow

What's that??

long road 14-02-2024 06:08 AM

Morning! (Although does it count as morning if you haven't been to sleep?)

I did not get to roleplay had an asthma attack just before the session started. Had to call the ambulance, they took me to A&E and A&E doctor wants to admit me so waiting around for a bed. Have had a lot of medication.

long road 14-02-2024 08:27 AM

I am bored... And still in A&E. There was a slight glimmer of hope from the junior doctor that they might be able to send me home but senior reviewed me and am not well enough.

Cacoethes 14-02-2024 08:56 AM

Morning jen
Yes it does count as morning, because it's morning

Hope you're getting on ok

long road 14-02-2024 10:36 AM

Well different senior has reviewed me because of shift change and he has called respiratory team and is making them come me down and see me and also says he wants them to come up with a plan for if I end up in A&E or on AMU. Because what we are doing isn't working. Was a really good doctor. And he says if after they have seen me he looks on the system he sees their plan and isn't happy with it then he will ring and challenge them. He said he can't imagine how frustrating this is for me and is trying his best to sort something out and if possible get me home today.

long road 14-02-2024 10:37 AM

Also in more general chat appropriate news there is a dog in A&E with it's owner that is not a service animal. And it is amusing. Because I forget the dog is here and then hear the odd random bark.

Side note I have been awake 26 hours so thinking is a bit off.

Cacoethes 14-02-2024 10:39 AM

Sounds like a decent plan

I'm ok. Well, not really. But we do not want to piss off the sheriff.
Just been to aldi. Been trying to go for days but really did need to go today. Completely wiped me out.

long road 14-02-2024 10:42 AM

Wel done for making it to Aldi.

Sorry it was so much effort though. Hope blood tests give out some answers as to why you are extra tired.

Cacoethes 14-02-2024 10:51 AM

Thank you

I really hope they do. It's one of those 'hope they show something wrong so we can fix it' things.
Always seems weird to hope something is wrong, but I'm sure you know what i mean!

Zurg 14-02-2024 10:54 AM

Oh peeps *sends hugs for everyone*
It makes me sad that so many are struggling so bad :(
I wish i could make you all well and content!!!

Findus was out on the balcony with me this morning and he was so happy that he just had to dig into my clothes and bite me XD

long road 14-02-2024 11:01 AM

I definitely know what you mean Beckie.

Zurg there is a dog in A&E it's very exciting!

I am sure emy partner is glad I do express happiness through biting as Findus does.

Cacoethes 14-02-2024 11:03 AM

Thanks zurg <3

Aww cheeky findus!

Lol jen XD

Zurg 14-02-2024 11:06 AM

Maybe you should casually move closer to the dog, Jen??? And then just remain calm and casually start to pet it??? That would make all the hospital commotion worth it, at least ;)
I don't think bringing Findus the Detroyer to hospital with me would turn out well. It would be entertaining but i’d probably get banned for life….

tamobhuuta 14-02-2024 11:14 AM

Morning guys. Happy Ash Wednesday!

Cacoethes 14-02-2024 12:19 PM

I also vote for petting the dog

Morning tamo
Happy ash Wednesday to you too!

I've just had to go and lie down after my aldi excursion
I hate being so wiped out by simple things

long road 14-02-2024 12:38 PM

Not risking petting the dog. Sometimes dogs set off my asthma. Also he is in a separate bay to me as in majors not waiting room.

In exciting news I am being discharged home with the good drugs (ipratropium) saw a respiratory nurse, asthma specialist team aren't in today, but she is going to let them know I have been in again and try and get someone to call me later in the week. Just waiting on prescription now.

Cacoethes 14-02-2024 12:46 PM

That's fair

Glad you're getting to go home

long road 14-02-2024 12:59 PM

As someone with chronic fatigue I can totally empathise with the frustration of being wiped out by simple things.

What time is blood test?

I am glad I am getting to go home too. Although plan is not entirely clear on how I stay home but I do have stronger drugs to try at home now.

Cacoethes 14-02-2024 01:12 PM

It's at 2:20pm
Hoping I'll get the results this week. Sometimes they come in the day after, sometimes it can take a few days.

Fingers crossed the drugs keep things at bay

Zurg 14-02-2024 01:26 PM

Yay for going home, Jen :D
Happy ash wednesday to you too, Tamo.
I feel ya, Beckie. Some days i feel like it took way too much energy just getting out of bed :( i hope the bloods will provide some answers. If they don't, will anyone do anything about the ed-side of things??

Cacoethes 14-02-2024 01:30 PM

Awful isn't it zurg?

Nope. Cmht have proven they will just make things worse (telling me the exercise isn't excessive and to get to a certain bmi) and all GP can do is refer back to ED services, who will not take me back on.

not_so_insig 14-02-2024 02:10 PM

Afternoon all.

long road 14-02-2024 02:28 PM

Have meds, am home and have just got into bed.
I have been awake nearly 30 hours. I am beyond tired but steroids have left me wired and lungs are starting to kick off a little. Taking my inhaler as first port of call. Really hope I can get some sleep even an hour would be something.

Cacoethes 14-02-2024 02:29 PM

That sounds very uncomfortable jen
Hope you can settle

not_so_insig 14-02-2024 02:36 PM

Fingers crossed you will have a nap Jen.

tamobhuuta 14-02-2024 04:19 PM

Hope you're asleep lr.

Sorry you're feeling so tired Cacoethes.

How are you insig?

not_so_insig 14-02-2024 04:30 PM

I am good today thanks tamobhuuta. I have had a virus since Sunday and I feel well today.

Cacoethes 14-02-2024 04:33 PM

Thanks tamo
I am going to lie down for the second time today
Frustrating

How are you doing?

tamobhuuta 14-02-2024 04:38 PM

I'm doing ok. Mass was really full but I coped well. I'm glad it's not like that every day.

Cacoethes 14-02-2024 05:40 PM

Well done :)

tamobhuuta 14-02-2024 06:10 PM

How has your day been?

Cacoethes 14-02-2024 06:22 PM

Pretty boring and frustrating tbh
Had to go back to bed twice and went for a blood test and called cmht. That's about it.

tamobhuuta 14-02-2024 08:07 PM

Sorry to hear that. I hope you can get some proper rest tonight.

Cacoethes 15-02-2024 08:14 AM

Thanks tamo

Morning everyone

long road 15-02-2024 09:36 AM

Morning!

Cacoethes 15-02-2024 09:38 AM

Morning jen
How are you?

long road 15-02-2024 10:24 AM

Better than yesterday. But very tired and achy. My chest muscles are really sore from having to work so hard to breathe. Have sort of caught up on sleep but not fully. I slept yesterday afternoon into the evening and then a second sleep sometime after 1am until 8am.

How are you?
