The other thing that might cause a discharge delay is if they’re looking at funding or placement in a specialist unit. Maybe ask the doctor in your ward round what needs to change in order for discharge to be possible?
Thanks Emma. X
I have ward round tomorrow so I’ll ask
That nurse always seems to be annoyed with me for some reason
I did hurt myself yesterday when the voices were bad which is why she’s not talking to me now
I need to go to a&e in a bit so now all the staff are going to be annoyed with me
Which is why I told the doctor the pain isn’t too bad but she didn’t believe me and is sending me to a&e anyway
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
I took ear defenders to one of my admissions because the ward was noisy and overwhelming. It really helped. You can get them for like £10-20 on Amazon or cheaper on eBay but watch out for postage
Thank you both <3
I will definitely get some of those when I get paid
That's a really good idea
My wrist isn't great
I have to have a cast on above the elbow for some reason
Have a fracture clinic appointment in a week.
Hopefully they'll take it off then

I’m ok I suppose. Though I had ward round today and still no leave. So it looks like I’m going to be here for Christmas.which is depressing.
Even if I get leave for Christmas Day, I have no way of getting to my mums. So I’m stuck here
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
I did. They said I neee to not have any more incidents and speak to the psychologist.
Which should be easy. But it's not.
I'm happy to speak to the psychologist and as long as the voices stay quiet (which they are at the moment) then I will be ok.
I said no to the specialist facility. I don't want to be somewhere else for a year, far away from Jasmine. Too far to go there for the day and come back like I do now.
Plus they don't take people on CTOs and I apparently would have to be on a CTO.
My.mum won't pick me up tamo.
It's too far
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
Yep. A taxi just would not be possible.
Ward round was mostly ok.
I can't remember what he said about going to my room during the day though.
And I can have fresh air breaks (aka going out the front with the smokers) 4 times a day. Which I don't really want to do but I suppose I have to build trust and show that I'm not going to abscond.

If a taxi dropped you off at a halfway point and your mum picked you up from there would that be possible? Sorry to labour this point I'm just feeling frustrated for you that you can't get home!
What day does your leave start?
You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you wish to make.
That's such a shame. But keep focusing on getting better and hopefully you can have a celebration with your family when you're home. I know it's not the same but work with the staff and hopefully you'll be home soon. What would you do with the leave instead?
I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.
Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.
I can't do anything else with the leave. It is just to go to my mum's. Would be 6 hours.
Apparently the matron is going to ring my mum tomorrow with the verdict on transport. I am not hopeful.

I have good news!
I can go home for Christmas. My mum is picking me up in the morning and the ward are picking me up at 5pm.
So I'm very happy.
And I've just been for my first fresh air break (I say fresh air but it was actually rather smoky air) and didn't run away even though I really wanted to.
Though I can't be in my room during the day still.
They said I need to be incident free for a long time. The nurse tried to fight my corner but the doctors said no.
So that sucks.
I've tried so hard to be incident free for as long as I have been and it feels like it's not being recognised.
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
