I had a shower in the end.

Good work comfort cat!

Did your shower help Dawn?

I am inside now as it got windy.

Thanks. Plain scones or flavoured?

Gym group is getting boring but I got through it.

Welcome to the thread Zippit, you've been doing a lot. I hate RLS, do you not have meds to try and get rid of it?

I hope everything's ok, Tamo. I supposedly had a heart murmur once and then no one ever mentioned it again so it must have gone away! I think you can get them if you're anxious.

Well done with the things you've done, Jen. I'm glad you managed to get out in your garden. How are you now?

Have you been out for a walk yet, Beckie?

Well done for managing the meter man and having a shower, Dawn. I hope you're feeling less anxious.

Heart murmurs seem quite common here osc!
Sorry you're not enjoying the gym.

Very tastey Zippit.

What are you getting up to, Tamo?

I was promised a walk at 5:30 by a hca, who is now busy with another patient.
Have asked to go with someone else but nurse said she has to finish meds, by which time everyone will be doing notes and preparing for handover.

That must be so frustrating. It can't be helped though since they've got tasks to do but not good all the same. Have you been in the garden at least?

This is not an isolated incident.
Been trying to ask for a 1:1 for literal weeks.
Nope. Because you need staff in the garden with you.

Don't give up. Keep asking for the things you need and deserve and the things that should be happening. I'm sorry they don't seem to be listening or have time. Have you got something to occupy yourself with for now?

This ward is a shambles in general tbh.
I've emailed the advocacy service.
Although last time i contacted them they said they'd call and then didn't.

I'm just listening to music

I hope you get a response from advocacy this time and they are able to help. It doesn't sound like a therapeutic environment at all.

It is not.
The only real interaction with staff i get is when i go for meds and i get to talk to them while they get them ready.

Pain has set in so I have retreated to sofa with a blanket and a bear. Partner is cooking burgers for our dinner.

*Shakes fist at shambles of a ward*

Mmm burgers!
Hope the pain eases soon

*joins in fist shaking*

What do we want? A therapeutic environment that works towards safe discharge! When do we want it? NOW!
*Marches up and down with a get your act together sign*

Thank you for your support!
I got asked by staff if I'd been outside, started to answer the someone called her and she walked off.
I just can't with these people

*sigh*
So close and yet so far.
It will be dark soon!

It will!
Can only hope for decent staff tonight!

I hope the nice one who brings you Pepsi Max and chats is on.

Me too!
It'll probably all kick off later tbh. Standard!

Have you had your burgers yet?

Sorry you didn't get your outside time Cacoethes.

I've been listening to Terry Pratchett.

Thanks :)

Ooh good choice

:burger: Burgers have been eaten :burger:

They were very good.

Now have a cup of Yorkshire Tea Malty Biscuit Brew ( basically regular English breakfast with malt added so it tastes like tea with malted milk biscuits)

I am mildly irritated just had the intercom go because of an Amazon delivery and he didn't come to the door of my flat (which is on ground floor) just left it just inside the front door to the block in the communal hallway! I had already had to haul my achy self off the sofa and then I had to get shoes and rescue the parcel! I know they have a lot of parcels to deliver and targets to meet but it's only ten more steps.

Glad you enjoyed them!

I've heard of that tea! Is it good?

That is irritating!

It is amazing. Especially when you have a biscuit craving and no biscuits in the house. I have however not been brave enough to try the Jam on Toast Tea. That was a step too far!

I'll have to try it!
Jam on toast tea does sound a bit much, however i am intrigued!

My logic was I would dip a biscuit in tea. I would never dip jam on toast in tea. So biscuit tea is ok jam tea is not.

Although I do like berry tea. But not mixed with black tea and milk...

My brain is falling off a cliff. Thinking is in slow mo

I knew a nurse who would dip toast in tea
Idk if she had jam on it though!

I don't like fruit teas. Only normal tea!

That doesn't sound pleasant!

That is weird. I dare to ask but with or without butter? Buttery tea sounds soooo wrong.

As I like to call it Tea Tea

Not particularly think it's a combo of pain, fatigue and maybe dissociation. Should probably try and rest but that involves focusing on resting.

I'm not sure! I was too surprised to ask!

Yes! Tea tea!

That is a predicament. Try not to think about it too intently!

Got TV on, and legs propped up, just goin gtontry closing my eyes and just listening to the TV.

Sounds like a plan!
I hope you manage to relax

Love a good void scream.
May i join you?

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I quite agree!
Here's hoping the week improves for us both!

Yeah best not tempt fate!

I have loud music on as per usual!
Fluffy cute things are always appreciated!

Right now it is Lowborn.
Spotify has come up with some bangers recently

They're pretty good!
I hadn't heard of them until a friend recommended a song recently. Then spotify recommended other songs.
I'm pretty new to spotify. Amazon music stopped working so I'm mooching off the family premium plan lol

I'll have a listen!
Any particular songs you would recommend?

Thanks!
Always like to listen to new stuff!

Not vibing with bad omens.
Loving smash into pieces though!

Just coming to give a sleepy wave to the thread! Hope you've all had good days :)

Any recommendations are good!
I have plenty of time!

Hi jenna!

Sleepy wave over here! Just got back from reading the quiz, I went straight there from work so just home and falling into bed!

Hope everyones okay

Your life sounds so exhausting!

Morning everyone

Morning people. How are you Cacoethes?

Didn't get a lot of sleep so I'm a bit grumpy

How are you?

Sorry to hear that. My night was quite disturbed but overall i got plenty of sleep. My sister's gone to therapy so it's just Dad and me for morning tea.

I don't know what to get my Dad for his birthday next week :(
