Cacoethes 04-10-2023 05:25 AM

Morning everyone!

Your hair is fabulous Luce!

Zurg 04-10-2023 09:35 AM

Morning Beckie :)
How are you today???

Cacoethes 04-10-2023 09:36 AM

Morning!

I am anxious about ED appointment, as usual!
But otherwise ok

How are you?

Accidentally Abstract 04-10-2023 09:52 AM

Morning Beckie and Kat. Thanks Beckie! When's the ED appointment?

Cacoethes 04-10-2023 10:01 AM

Morning Luce!
It is at 11:30
Leaving in about 30 mins, it's a 50 min drive

How are you?

one_step_closer 04-10-2023 10:30 AM

Morning everyone.

I hope your appointment goes well, Beckie.

How are you Kat and Luce?

Zurg 04-10-2023 10:57 AM

Hi Luce and Lindsay :)

I'm sure your appointment will be okay, Beckie. I am anxious too every time i attend something mental health related <3
I feel weirdly restless but also quite exhausted. Which is probably increased by the fact that two different parcels from two different carriers will be delivered to me today. And i hate waiting!!! >:(
But i HAVE to wait. They are too heavy to carry home if they end up at a parcel place. Rude!!!
How are you today, Luce and Lindsay?

tamobhuuta 04-10-2023 12:35 PM

I hope the ED appointment went OK Cacoethes.

Waiting is sucky Zurg.

How are you osc and Abstract?

long road 04-10-2023 01:23 PM

*waves*

Have read but not got much energy to reply. Apologies.

I am having an ill day. FND is playing up and still feel a bit Covidy. And asthma doesn't like Covid. So staying in bed and trying to rest. Bit fed up of being ill though after the last 2 months.

one_step_closer 04-10-2023 04:01 PM

I replied to this and then there was a stupid error!!!

Have your parcels been delivered yet, Kat? It's definitely better to wait in than have to pick them up. I have one coming 'before 8pm.'

How are you, Tamo?

I hope you're getting some good rest, Jen.

I was at the gym with my support worker. Getting discharged from the service soon.

tamobhuuta 04-10-2023 04:04 PM

I'm ok thanks osc. How do you feel about leaving the service?

long road 04-10-2023 04:09 PM

I sort of rested by staying in bed, but not properly been doing bits and pieces.

Did achieve something though rang up GP surgery and asked about physio for my sprained wrist. And they have in house physio at GP now and someone will ring me when there is an avaliable appointment.

Stupid computer errors!

How was the gym? Hope your support worker wasn't too pushy.

one_step_closer 04-10-2023 04:16 PM

I'm glad you're ok, Tamo. Keep going.

Well done for the things you've managed today, Jen. How are you feeling?

I was in the gym myself, my support worker was in the cafe that is no longer a cafe. I'm coming to the end of my support. I don't care about being discharged. The service has changed a lot and isn't useful to me any more.

long road 04-10-2023 04:30 PM

Bit meh really. Considering a nap as an also tired.

tamobhuuta 04-10-2023 05:12 PM

Naps can be good, I hope it helps.

Almost dinner time here.

long road 04-10-2023 05:43 PM

Dinner in hospital is always too early, at least in my opinion. In general hospital it's somewhere between 5 and 5:30pm. I would prefer it to be at least 6pm. I mean at home I don't eat until at least 7pm but in hospitlal everything is earlier so 6pm would be acceptable.

Thank you for reading my rant/ ramble about hospital dinner times XD

Been lying resting but can't seem to drift off.

Might roleplay later, as it's our fortnightly pathfinder game and I feel better than I have in a while. And it might help me feel better mentally

tamobhuuta 04-10-2023 05:59 PM

Dinner is notionally 5.30pm here but it actually starts at 5.20pm, i think so the serving staff can go home 10 mins early. Fair enough! It was ok tonight, I had a vegetarian hotpot.

long road 04-10-2023 06:35 PM

Vegetarian Hotpot sounds like it has potential
Glad it was ok.

Did you have any dessert? I always think dessert is the best part of hospital food.

Cacoethes 04-10-2023 07:19 PM

Hey guys!
Sorry not catching up. Brain is not braining

long road 04-10-2023 07:43 PM

That's ok brains be like that sometimes.

I just had cooked breakfast for dinner made by my partner and it was amazing. Sausage, bacon, scrambled egg, Hashbrowns, baked beans and mushrooms. Soo tasty!!

Cacoethes 04-10-2023 07:55 PM

They do indeed

Oooh yum!

tamobhuuta 04-10-2023 08:04 PM

We had that for lunch. Also mushroom soup. I went for the soup. Pudding this evening was some kind of sponge so I had yoghurt.

Cacoethes 04-10-2023 08:09 PM

I had a jacket potato with cheese and beans for lunch!

long road 04-10-2023 08:19 PM

Lots of beans!

I love a jacket potato.

Now I am attempting to roleplay.

Cacoethes 04-10-2023 08:29 PM

I haven't had one in forever!
Just really fancied one

Have fun!

tamobhuuta 04-10-2023 08:41 PM

One of my faves Cacoethes.

Cacoethes 04-10-2023 08:44 PM

It's a classic!

long road 04-10-2023 09:44 PM

I am enjoying roleplaying. We are fighting an evil priestess to save a good druid.

Cacoethes 05-10-2023 07:22 AM

Morning everyone

tamobhuuta 05-10-2023 09:25 AM

Morning Cacoethes how are you?

Cacoethes 05-10-2023 09:27 AM

Wooo someone is awake!

Morning tamo
I'm ok i think, trying to keep distracted

How are you?
Also, was it your birthday yesterday??

long road 05-10-2023 09:38 AM

Morning Beckie and Tamo!

I am up and have a nice big hot cup of coffee.

Cacoethes 05-10-2023 09:40 AM

Morning Jen!

Lovely!
Is it the fancy coffee or normal coffee?

long road 05-10-2023 09:50 AM

It is my normal fancy coffee. I don't keep instant in the house, well technically I have some but it's so old I wouldn't use it! I will drink instant if that is what there is but with my aeropress it only takes an extra 30 seconds to have proper stuff.

Any plans for today?

Elmer 05-10-2023 09:53 AM

Morning guys :)

Fancy coffee sounds so good

Cacoethes 05-10-2023 09:59 AM

Morning Lio!

My plans are now supervising L, as she has had a head injury at work. I don't know how, but she works in a special school, so often gets assaulted by the kids.
She's getting dropped off in a min.

long road 05-10-2023 10:05 AM

Morning Lio!
I had Columbian 100% arabica today.

Oh no Beckie! I hope she is ok in the end. I think this calls for films on the sofa.

Cacoethes 05-10-2023 10:15 AM

She doesn't seem all that well!
Got whacked in the head with a door by a child
I've googled how to care for someone with a head injury

Zurg 05-10-2023 10:17 AM

Kids can be right little savages!!! I hope she'll be okay, Beckie. Look after yourself too.

Morning everyone :)
I had a mental breakdown yesterday. Had been feeling fragile and on egde all day and then at 5 pm i recieved a text saying that my Ikea parcel could not be delivered due to no one answering the door. But i sat in my flat all day and waited. Then they Said they'd try again but only if i gave them permission to leave the parcel outside. I don't Think so in this neighbourhood!!!! So head went into overdrive and started spiraling all the terrible things that have happened the past 20 years and i decided i couldn't deal with that so ended up taking prn and going to bed and watching Disney +….
Trying to take it easy today. Be a bit more mindful about looking after myself. Still feeling a bit tired and groggy after the prn…

Cacoethes 05-10-2023 10:26 AM

Her incident form said 'needs to be supervised for 24 hours by a responsible adult'
She laughed a bit too much about that XD

Oh no zurg, what a day :(
Definitely look after yourself today

long road 05-10-2023 10:27 AM

Oof that's going to hurt. Maybe give her one of the guinea pigs frozen water bottles as an ice pack.

That sounds rough Zurg. And also very incompetent of IKEA to not ring your buzzer when you were in all day and yet say they trieto deliver

You very much deserve to be looked after Zurg. Take it easy.

My OT is meant to call around 11am. But she might call later

one_step_closer 05-10-2023 10:33 AM

Morning everyone.

Hope L is ok, Beckie. You are very much a responsible adult (at times, haha!)

How are you, Tamo?

Hi, Lio. How are you getting on?

Hope everything goes will with your OT, Jen.

That sounds like a horrible day, Kat. I hope you can be kind to yourself and today is much better.

Elmer 05-10-2023 10:35 AM

I hope L recovers quickly Beckie! It's good she has you :)

That sounds awfully stressful Zurg, I am glad you were able to take care of yourself.

Hopefully your OT calls on time Jen, it's rubbish waiting around for phone appointments.

So far today I've been to a nurse appointment so am at least dressed, hooray

Hi Lindsay! Hope you're OK today

long road 05-10-2023 10:37 AM

Hey Lindsay! How are you today?

Well done for being dressed Lio.

Thanks Lio and Lindsay for phone call well wishes. I like my OT I don't like wiating around for phone appointments but because I like her she gets more of a pass.

In amazing news I am finally Covid negative!!!!

one_step_closer 05-10-2023 10:40 AM

I hope your appointment went well, Lio, and you have a good rest of the day.

I'm glad your OT is good, Jen, and extra glad that you are covid free!

I'm trying to convince myself to go for a pee and put a jumper on.

long road 05-10-2023 10:42 AM

Jumper means cosyness and peeing will mean you are more comfortable when you get back to your spot. You can do it!

Elmer 05-10-2023 10:44 AM

Hooray no covid!

*cheerleads Lindsay* you can do it - you'll be much more comfy :)

long road 05-10-2023 11:13 AM

Still feel a little bit ill but testing negative is an amazing step. Think part of the leftover ill is my asthma.

Cacoethes 05-10-2023 11:29 AM

Well done Lio! Hope the nurse appointment was ok

Has OT called yet jen?
Wooooo for being covid negative!

You can do it lindsay!

L has dropped off on the sofa. Bless her.
I looked up the current guidance on sleeping after a head injury and it is no longer a thing that you can't. Just need to woken every few hours for a check up.
Maybe i could do neuro obs! I've had them done so many times i was actually telling the junior docs in hospital how to do them XD

long road 05-10-2023 11:32 AM

No OT call as yet. Mind you last week she called 3 hours late as she was really busy.

I don't think she needs neuro Obs. Neuro Obs suck! But yeah sleeping is ok, good to get some rest.
