How exciting

I took meds early because i was up at 3am and the day has been far too long!

long road 13-11-2023 08:32 PM

Yay quiz!

Have you made a dinner decision Dawn? I made tomato, bacon courgette pasta with cheese on top.

Goodnight Beckie!

CMHT never got back to me. :ermm:
I literally left a message at 9:02am. I can't even.
Got too much on tomorrow to call then so guess I will try on Wednesday.

Just blargh!!!

not_so_insig 13-11-2023 08:45 PM

Hope you don't wake up at 3 am Beckie.

not_so_insig 13-11-2023 08:47 PM

Ninja Jen. No I haven't made a decision yet. But have had a snack.

Ahimsa 13-11-2023 09:08 PM

evening all, its been a while

long road 13-11-2023 09:56 PM

Beth!

Hellooooo!

I am currently using my nebuliser as having an asthma attack. All the fun. I thought it wa anxiety at first but breathing exercises didn't help but meds did so definitely asthma.

Ahimsa 13-11-2023 10:00 PM

oh no LR!!! is the nebuliser helping?

long road 13-11-2023 10:15 PM

First one helped while I was using it but when I stopped it flared up again so started a second. If that doesn't work I will have to call 999

You missed the whole 2 months of me being in and out of hospital with asthma did like 23 999 calls, multiple ED visits and 5 overnight hospital admissions. Asthma attacks became my normal for a while. Hence why I have a home nebuliser now. So while it is none of the fun especially seeing as I haven't needed 2 nebs for a month. I am weirdly chill about it.

Ahimsa 13-11-2023 11:01 PM

Oh my gosh! How are you now? Has it helped?

long road 14-11-2023 12:06 AM

Asthma settled in the end. But did call 999 because 10 minutes after 2nd nebuliser was feeling better but still rough. Paramedics checked me over and obs were ok and while they were here breathing improved, so didn't need any extra meds.

So yeah am ok now. No need to worry.

Ahimsa 14-11-2023 12:15 AM

I'm glad you got checked over and didn't have to go to A&E! That's a little positive if nothing else.

long road 14-11-2023 12:34 AM

Avoiding A&E is always a positive! They were good crew. Most of them are to be fair.

Ahimsa 14-11-2023 12:47 AM

That's good!

long road 14-11-2023 03:46 AM

Hopefully you are asleep now Beth. But know that I have missed seeing you around and hope to see you again soon xx

Cacoethes 14-11-2023 05:58 AM

Morning everyone.
Got a bit of a lie in, woke up at 4:30am XD


Hello beth! Hope you stick around for a bit!

long road 14-11-2023 09:22 AM

Morning Beckie!

I want to sleep sometime after 3am so only got 5 hours sleep myself!

How are you doing this morning?

Cacoethes 14-11-2023 09:25 AM

Fun times!

I'm ok thanks.
How about you?

long road 14-11-2023 09:46 AM

Better than expected. My lungs are behaving despite attack last night which is a bonus. Clearly I pumped them full of enough meds that they have got with the program XD.

I have a busy day today out for brunch at 11:15am for partner's mum's birthday and have a physio appointment at 2pm about the wrist I sprained back in September.

Was meant to be speaking to OT but just rang and let her know I am not available at the time she scheduled today so she is going to try me on Wednesday or Thursday instead. Will get a time later as she didn't have her diary on her and was off to a meeting.

Cacoethes 14-11-2023 09:50 AM

Good!

I hope your busy day goes well

long road 14-11-2023 10:14 AM

Thanks.

Need to have a shower before I hea dout as well but first going to get coffee!

How are the boys this morning?

Cacoethes 14-11-2023 10:15 AM

Good idea

They're fine thanks
Just topped up their hay so they are happy boys!

long road 14-11-2023 10:17 AM

Aww happy little guinea pigs. They must brighten up you day <3

Cacoethes 14-11-2023 10:26 AM

They really do!

I have received my parcel so now heading off to asda and aldi!

long road 14-11-2023 10:38 AM

Bon Voyage!

Zurg 14-11-2023 10:41 AM

Morning all :)

My day yesterday turned into a bad day since my mind went into overdrive and i couldn't really stop it. It has decided to continue with that strategy today apparently, so i am trying to look after myself which i suck terribly at. Like, how can i be 42 and yet so bad at being a human??? How is that even possible???
Might try and text a friend in a bit. Different people feel safe in different situations….
Findus would agree that a good, tasty stack of hay can make anyone very happy, Beckie ;)
I hope you won't be trolled by your lungs today, Jen <3

Cacoethes 14-11-2023 11:19 AM

I have returned from asda and aldi!
Unfortunately, aldi had no non bio washing capsules, and I'm not willing to pay the extra few pounds for the branded stuff!
Got a few left anyway.

Sorry to hear you're having a rough time zurg
Texting a friend sounds like a good idea

Yes i imagine findus would agree!

not_so_insig 14-11-2023 12:01 PM

Morning all. I am off to Sainsburys today to buy my mum's birthday present. Plus a few other things.

Ahimsa 14-11-2023 12:05 PM

Hi all.

Beckie, was there something exciting in your parcel?

I've been into work this morning, we had an off site practice meeting for the whole team and I've been sent home - I had a meltdown

one_step_closer 14-11-2023 12:06 PM

Morning everyone.

Glad things eventually settled last night, Jen. Hope you enjoy your brunch and your physio appointment goes well.

Waking up at 4.30am does not sound fun, Beckie! Hope Aldi get the capsules you need soon.

Sorry you're struggling, Kat. We are here if it helps to chat a bit. I think it's a good idea to get in touch with your friend. I hope your day improves.

Do you know what you're going to get your Mum, Dawn?

one_step_closer 14-11-2023 12:07 PM

Oh, ninja Beth! Sorry I missed your post. Oh no, poor you. Will you be able to settle at home?

Cacoethes 14-11-2023 02:12 PM

There was a reflective gilet in my parcel!

Oh no beth :(
I hope you're looking after yourself at home

I don't mind waking up at 4:30am that much.
It's quite peaceful and there's no pressure to do things

How're you today lindsay?

I am waiting for a train home. It's in 15 mins. I'm rather chilly!

not_so_insig 14-11-2023 02:48 PM

I am in Sainsburys. It was a mare getting here. First bus didn't turn up and been as the buses only run once an hour to the retail park it was rather a long wait. Sitting in the cafe rn because I missed the bus to the city centre. But the bonus is that I got my mum's birthday present.

long road 14-11-2023 03:50 PM

Have read but too tired to reply properly.

Had a nice brunch with partners family. Ihad pancakes with bacon and maple syrup! And partner Mum liked her present from us.

Came home for about half an hour and then back out to see physio for my sprained wrist. It has healed well but need to work on strengthening it so have some exercises for that.

And now have no plans left. Might nap...

Cacoethes 14-11-2023 03:53 PM

Brunch Sounds yummy

long road 14-11-2023 03:55 PM

It was very yummy.

Cacoethes 14-11-2023 04:06 PM

How're you feeling after your busy day?

long road 14-11-2023 04:16 PM

Tired. And a bit overwhelmed. Was more than I have done in a while , it was quite a lot of effort to keep myself together when so much is fallin apart right now. I managed to enjoy my time out though.

And I am a little short if breath now.

Going to try and nap now I think.

not_so_insig 14-11-2023 04:34 PM

I am home. Journey back was ok. Arms are hurting due to carrying very heavy shopping.

Cacoethes 14-11-2023 04:37 PM

I can imagine its been exhausting jen!
I'm glad you enjoyed it overall
Definitely time to rest now

one_step_closer 14-11-2023 04:49 PM

It's very rainy here which put me off going to the gym after I (yet again) got soaked going for my prescription.

I really need to try pancakes, bacon, and maple syrup. I'm glad you managed to find some enjoyment, Jen.

Are you warmed up now, Beckie?

What on earth have you been buying, Dawn?!

Cacoethes 14-11-2023 05:08 PM

It rained here too
Not that badly though!

At least you managed to get your prescription

I am warmed up thank you!

not_so_insig 14-11-2023 05:36 PM

I had several bottles plus other shopping Lindsay.

tamobhuuta 14-11-2023 06:54 PM

Hi guys, can't read all your messages but I hope you're having relaxing evenings.

Ahimsa 14-11-2023 06:55 PM

Hey Tamo

I ended up back at work for the afternoon,

tamobhuuta 14-11-2023 06:57 PM

Oh no Ahimsa!

Cacoethes 14-11-2023 07:09 PM

Thanks tamo
Hope your evening is going ok

How was it beth?

Ahimsa 14-11-2023 07:13 PM

I don't remember a huge chunk of this morning. I know I was sat on the floor in the toilet crying with our clinical director and I couldn't make any words happen

Cacoethes 14-11-2023 07:15 PM

Sounds awful
Were people nice about it at least?

Ahimsa 14-11-2023 07:16 PM

I have no idea, I just walked out crying.

Cacoethes 14-11-2023 07:19 PM

Sounds really distressing

Better watch out, the sheriff of ryl might report us for talking about not general things :crazy:
