The days sure drag when you wake up early.

I am struggling a bit. Just waiting for 30 minutes to be up so I can eat breakfast (took my once a week med where you can't eat for 30 minutes after taking)

Cacoethes 05-02-2024 11:57 AM

They do!
I've just been up to the retail park to kill more time
Occupational health appointment isn't until 1:15

Sorry to hear that
Any plans today?

tamobhuuta 05-02-2024 12:30 PM

Morning guys. I've just been for my clozapine blood test, it was very easy.

Cacoethes 05-02-2024 12:34 PM

That's good tamo

one_step_closer 05-02-2024 12:47 PM

Hi everyone.

I hope you had a nice breakfast after the wait, Jen.

Hope your OH appointment goes well, Beckie.

Glad your blood test was easy, Tamo. Do you have plans for the rest of the day?

Cacoethes 05-02-2024 12:48 PM

Thanks lindsay

How are you?

one_step_closer 05-02-2024 12:55 PM

I have Love Machine or whatever it's called by Girls Aloud in my head which has come from nowhere (I'm certainly not a love machine) and it's so annoying!

tamobhuuta 05-02-2024 12:59 PM

Obviously I'll be watching doctors! Doing the dishwasher etc

Sorry about your earworm osc.

long road 05-02-2024 01:00 PM

Twisted my ankle and fell out, heard a crack/pop and hurts a lot. So called 111 and they said got to the urgent treatment centre. So to the waiting room I go!

Cacoethes 05-02-2024 01:01 PM

Hate that song!

Ugh. That's grim jen

one_step_closer 05-02-2024 01:09 PM

Sounds good, Tamo.

Oh, Jen. Ouch! Hope you've not done anything serious.

I too hate that song, Beckie. I think I hate all Girls Aloud songs. My brother loved them growing up.

tamobhuuta 05-02-2024 01:18 PM

Oh dear lr! I hope you don't get bored.

long road 05-02-2024 01:27 PM

Fingers crossed it's just sprain. Am being driven there by partner now. The urgent treatment centre is a half an hour drive away. Not been there before but hopefully it's quicker than A&E.

Have managed books and a puzzle book and my earphones to listen to music.

Cacoethes 05-02-2024 01:37 PM

I liked girls aloud for a bit when i was like 10

Urgent care should be quicker

long road 05-02-2024 02:00 PM

Wait is meant to be 3 and a half to 4 hours. Which is better than the 8 plus hours I spent in A&E when I sprained my wrist back in September so I will take it.

Cacoethes 05-02-2024 02:03 PM

Yeah that's not too bad

long road 05-02-2024 02:19 PM

I am a bit bored already. Only been here half an hour!

Cacoethes 05-02-2024 02:24 PM

Waiting sucks

The OH dr has just called and said he's just with the patient before me but he won't be long

not_so_insig 05-02-2024 02:25 PM

Afternoon all. It's rough here really windy. I can't watch TV as the signal keeps on breaking up. Fingers crossed I don't lose the TV for another week!

not_so_insig 05-02-2024 03:28 PM

Also my alexa has given snow for Thursday and Friday here. Fingers crossed it won't be too bad as it's ordinary bin day this week.

long road 05-02-2024 04:06 PM

Still waiting been about 2 hours 15 minutes now. Waiting room is thinning out though so hoping I get called in in next hour or so.

Cacoethes 05-02-2024 04:08 PM

Fingers crossed jen

tamobhuuta 05-02-2024 04:17 PM

Hoping you get seen soon lr. Maybe you've been seen already.

Hoping your tv fixes itself insig! And that your bins are ok.

Did the OH doctor call yet Cacoethes?

I did my weekly dosette box, took me half an hour because I kept spasming.

Cacoethes 05-02-2024 04:18 PM

Yes he called.

At least it's done tamo!

tamobhuuta 05-02-2024 04:19 PM

Just read your thread, sending hugs x

one_step_closer 05-02-2024 04:28 PM

Hope you're getting on ok, Jen.

I think tomorrow and Wednesday is meant to be really cold here, Dawn.

Sounds frustrating, Tamo.

Will read your thread, Beckie.

Cacoethes 05-02-2024 04:28 PM

Thank you x

Are you up to anything tamo?

long road 05-02-2024 04:35 PM

Time goes by so slowly....

Spasms are so annoying Tamo..I just got a leg spasm on the the leg I have my ankle of. That was the opposite of fun.

How are you Lindsay?

one_step_closer 05-02-2024 04:37 PM

Not another annoying song in my head, Jen!!! Do you think you're close to being seen?

I'm not good. Finally made it to Tesco though.

not_so_insig 05-02-2024 04:44 PM

Thanks tamobhuuta. It's less windy now than before but still rough.

long road 05-02-2024 04:45 PM

Sorry!!! I think so there is one maybe two people who were here before me. But triage is a thing so later people might get seen before me

tamobhuuta 05-02-2024 04:57 PM

I'm having a cup of tea. I really want to do some painting but not sure I can!

long road 05-02-2024 05:54 PM

Had an x-ray and it's just a sprain. So get to go home :)

not_so_insig 05-02-2024 05:57 PM

That's good it's not broken Jen

tamobhuuta 05-02-2024 06:14 PM

I'm glad it's not broken :)

Cacoethes 05-02-2024 06:36 PM

That's good jen

one_step_closer 05-02-2024 06:48 PM

Yay! Shame about all the waiting though.

What's everyone doing this evening?

Cacoethes 05-02-2024 06:58 PM

I'm not doing anything in particular

long road 05-02-2024 07:17 PM

Probably was still quicker than A&E would have been!

Have ordered takeaway for dinner. I am having carbonara and garlic bread.

Cacoethes 05-02-2024 07:31 PM

Definitely!

Ooh yummy!

not_so_insig 05-02-2024 08:51 PM

Apart from doing my dishes i haven't got many plans. Tv is still unwatchable through the dish.

tamobhuuta 05-02-2024 09:53 PM

I took some PRN for anxiety, going to bed now.

Cacoethes 06-02-2024 04:59 AM

Morning everyone

tamobhuuta 06-02-2024 11:03 AM

Morning Cacoethes, how are you?

Edit
I had to heat my room up before I could get out of bed this morning - chilly!

long road 06-02-2024 11:36 AM

Morning!

They do say it's going to get colder the next few days Tamo!

I have had a nice breakfast of fruit toast and am now drinking a frothy coffee.

Ankle still hurts this morning but I can put some weight on it which i couldn't do yesterday.

How are you two?

tamobhuuta 06-02-2024 12:05 PM

I'm ok. Rang the ward to get an email address and have emailed the ward manager and psych to warn them about my complaint, as advised by CPN. So that's all sorted.

I'm glad your ankle is a little better.

long road 06-02-2024 12:15 PM

Well done for getting the email sorted. Bet you are glad to have got that done.

I have a phonecall at 11:30 about a research study on FND I have volunteered to help with. And then am planning to have a shower. Luckily I have a shower seat because of FND so ankle shouldn't make showering any more complicated

tamobhuuta 06-02-2024 12:17 PM

Good luck with activities :)

Cacoethes 06-02-2024 12:29 PM

Morning both

I'm ok. Just had a super long eye test because it was a pre-reg optician, bless him.
Then went to sainsburys. Need to do a mini clean out for the boys and then find something to do until this evening.

Well done for doing the things guys!

Hope the phone call goes well jen

one_step_closer 06-02-2024 12:41 PM

Hi everyone.

Hope the phone call and study is interesting, Jen.

Well done with emailing, Tamo.

Eye tests are horrible enough as it is! Will you be doing some driving today, Beckie?
