It's good you don't have to stay overnight.

We tried normal calling, WiFi, landline, didn't work.

Cacoethes 29-09-2024 04:05 AM

Morning everyone

Ahimsa 29-09-2024 08:35 AM

Morning Beckie, how're you doing?

Just got to work for my first emergency shift since losing Cal.

My other receptionist had phoned in sick so I'm by myself. If it gets too much and I need a few minutes, probably no time for that cos there's just me.

Cacoethes 29-09-2024 08:49 AM

Morning!
I'm ok thanks, apart from rather uncomfortable and can barely sit up! Mh wise though, I'm all good.

That must be so tough beth. I'm sorry :(

Ahimsa 29-09-2024 09:13 AM

We've had 3 emergencies in so far, one didn't make it, one has been admitted and one is with the vet now.

No cats yet though which is something- but I am only 45 minutes into a 9 hour shift.

Cacoethes 29-09-2024 09:18 AM

I can't even imagine the pain you're feeling.
I hope the day turns out OK for you

Ahimsa 29-09-2024 09:18 AM

Lots of rest for you today please!!!

Cacoethes 29-09-2024 09:52 AM

Yes definitely!
I can't really move a lot. Or bend, twist, reach, sit up without help. So that's pretty much me out of action, whether I like it or not (I do not) XD

Ahimsa 29-09-2024 09:57 AM

You're stuck with it though! So there!

I've been here an hour and a half, I've done 18 emails so far, we've had 4 emergencies. The phone hasn't been too bad yet touch wood!

This is a day we are technically closed and it's emergencies only!

Cacoethes 29-09-2024 10:06 AM

Very true!

Hopefully no more emergencies occur! For both the animals sake and yours!

tamobhuuta 29-09-2024 10:13 AM

Hugs if wanted Ahimsa.

Can you have hugs Cacoethes or are you too sore to be squisheed?

Cacoethes 29-09-2024 10:15 AM

Bit too sore currently!
Though I think very very gentle hugs would be ok!

tamobhuuta 29-09-2024 10:17 AM

Gentle hugs it is then!

Big sis and Mum will be here soon :)

Cacoethes 29-09-2024 10:17 AM

Thank you!

Hope you have a nice visit :)

tamobhuuta 29-09-2024 10:25 AM

Thanks :)

Cacoethes 29-09-2024 10:52 AM

Can't believe it's not even 11am yet!
Time is going so slowly!

Ahimsa 29-09-2024 10:58 AM

It really really is.

I'm here til 5:30!

Cacoethes 29-09-2024 11:04 AM

Oh nooo! That is a long old day!

I've been up since 2:30am, so long day already!

Ahimsa 29-09-2024 11:16 AM

Eugh that's a rubbish time of day.

It's freezing at work, but I can't put the heating on because the meds have to be at a certain temperature. I am always cold though so may just be me?!

tamobhuuta 29-09-2024 12:10 PM

I had a great time with my mum and sister. They did bring Costa! They stayed longer than their allotted hour because no one needed the room.

one_step_closer 29-09-2024 12:19 PM

Afternoon everyone.

What are you doing to occupy yourself while you're mostly out of action, Beckie?

Sounds difficult, Beth. I hope the rest of your shift is better.

I'm glad you had a nice time with your Mum and sister, Tamo. Plus Costa and extra time with them!

tamobhuuta 29-09-2024 12:30 PM

Hi osc, how are you?

one_step_closer 29-09-2024 12:32 PM

Just trying to deal with lots of stuff. Feeling very alone.

Ahimsa 29-09-2024 12:33 PM

Hope everyone is doing okay.

Tamo, what did you have from Costa?

OSC, do you want to talk?

tamobhuuta 29-09-2024 12:53 PM

Latte and chocolate muffin :)

Cacoethes 29-09-2024 12:55 PM

That sucks beth. Feeling cold is so uncomfortable

Glad you had a good visit tamo!

I'm not really doing a lot.
Managed to nap for about 45 mins on the sofa. It's a corner sofa so I'm propped up in the corner. Got whatever S chooses on the tv. Luckily it's music atm, rather than Korean street food making or breaking up soap ASMR thingy!

Sorry to hear that lindsay. Sending love if wanted <3

Ahimsa 29-09-2024 12:56 PM

I know right! I'm going to take another layer and my hot water bottle back with me after lunch.

How old is S?

tamobhuuta 29-09-2024 01:09 PM

Had to Google asmr.

Cacoethes 29-09-2024 01:14 PM

That sounds like a good plan!

He is 10. But he has very high needs, so non verbal, autism, adhd, global development delay. So he doesn't act like a 10 year old. Have to watch him like a hawk!

Some people love the sound of the ASMR things. It just gives me the rage!

tamobhuuta 29-09-2024 02:35 PM

That's a lot to take on Cacoethes!

I took on the task of shaving my legs.

Cacoethes 29-09-2024 03:04 PM

He's a good kid. Can be quite full on though!

Smooth legs is always a good feeling!

Ahimsa 29-09-2024 03:19 PM

Ooh smoothy smooth!!

2 hours to go! It's been okay so far, touch wood. I've only had to do 5 sympathy cards and none for cats. (I've had shifts where it's been well into double figures)

tamobhuuta 29-09-2024 03:44 PM

I'm glad it's not been too bad :)

I hadn't done my legs since I came into hospital!

Ahimsa 29-09-2024 03:52 PM

Oh I bet that was super satisfying then!

tamobhuuta 29-09-2024 03:53 PM

It took ages! Luckily the nurse supervising had brought some work to do!

Cacoethes 29-09-2024 05:12 PM

I suddenly felt very unwell so L had to call the surgeon. But he's not worried so I'm in bed and gonna watch something on the iPad.

I'm glad it's not been too bad beth. Everything crossed that the next however long goes smoothly!

Very satisfying tamo!

Ahimsa 29-09-2024 05:41 PM

That's reassuring Beckie, at least!

I've just got home!

tamobhuuta 29-09-2024 05:52 PM

I'm glad the surgeon isn't worried, bed sounds good.

Long day Ahimsa?

Very long day, 9 hours of animal A&E.

I'm home for 2 hours and then I read a pub quiz every Tuesday and Sunday, so I'll be leaving my house again and will be back about 10:30pm.

Cacoethes 29-09-2024 05:55 PM

It is!

Have you got any plans for this evening beth?

Thanks tamo
I do not like being in bed during the daytime XD

EDIT: you ninja'd beth! Sounds like an exhausting day and evening!

Ahimsa 29-09-2024 06:02 PM

Very much so. I'm going to try get a nap in if I can.

tamobhuuta 29-09-2024 06:02 PM

I could not do your day Ahimsa!

Staying in bed is frustrating Cacoethes.

Cacoethes 29-09-2024 06:06 PM

Nap sounds like it would be a good idea!

It is! The surgeon said not to do stairs though.
So here I shall stay!

I only work one weekend a month, so its not every Sunday I have both. Tuesdays I always do.

one_step_closer 29-09-2024 06:50 PM

Hope you don't go further crazy being stuck in bed, Beckie.

Still in awe of how much you do, Beth!

not_so_insig 29-09-2024 07:25 PM

Hello all.

tamobhuuta 29-09-2024 07:26 PM

Hi insig and osc, how are you?

not_so_insig 29-09-2024 07:29 PM

I am slightly cold but generally ok. I am hoping my clothes parcel will come tomorrow with hopefully no ransom note.

tamobhuuta 29-09-2024 07:30 PM

A ransom note?

not_so_insig 29-09-2024 07:32 PM

In certain hobby circles parcels which attract a custom fee is known as a ransom note. Basically if you don't pay the fee you don't get your goods. Hence ransom note.
