Far and Away

Ditto @Zoe7 ^^^^

@Snowie ❄️

However @Adge that is not the meaning according to our Community Guidelines where many of the Mental Health 'speak' acronyms and abbreviations are listed - so whilst there may be a 'dictionary' definition, there is also a mental health 'speak' definition ...and if you google it, it will also come up with a psychiatrist or psychologist ...depends where you look for meanings I suppose 👍

I did Google it @Zoe7 Virtually all the listings were as above.

The point is that Abbreviation are easily misunderstood - As they can have many different meanings.

That's why I used Full Words, unless I am certain that people know exactly what I mean - which they may not know, anyway.

I wasn't being personal - not aimed at you at all.

Someone else was using pdoc term - totally unaware that the abbreviation is not Self-Explanatory (not clear).

Adge

I didn't take that personaly at all @Adge and totally get that abbreviations can mean different things in different spheres and for different people. It took me a while also to understand some of the terms used on here - some are still confusing as the guidelines say one thing for some but there are other medical terms for them also (which are not in our guidelines and should be - but that is another issue altogether). Just highlighting that our guidelines do state what many of the abbreviations mean from a mental health perspective - probably know those guidelines too well lol

Sending understanding hugs my sister xoxo @Zoe7

Hope the vet rings early in the morning xx

Hugs @Snowie , @Faith-and-Hope , @Adge @@

Yes I hope the Vet rings you soon too @Zoe7

Maybe I should read those inexplicable Guidelines again....

Adge

I agree @Adge the guidelines are not at all user friendly and many parts are somewhat 'hidden' in amongst it all. Goodluck

How has your day been?

Have to go and get set up for my sleep study - needs to be done before 10pm so better get to it.

Oh you're having a Sleep Study @Zoe7 I hope you do get some sleep.

I had to sleep over-night at the hospital Sleep Clinic, for my Sleep Studies.

I had several.

I was all covered in wires (stuck to me), could not turn over because of the wires - Did not sleep.

I can barely sleep at all in hospital beds, without the wires.

I hope it's more pleasant, for you.

I had a very bad Zombie-Like day, today - Totally exhausted/ Zonked.

Brain was not online.

Then picked up, started to feel half-normal by evening - Just a few hours before Bedtime.

Not very useful (that).

Adge

Afternoon all @Adge @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7 @Shaz51

Hoping your day is going well.

@Zoe7 hoping the sleep study went ok last night hun and you have heard about Cat.

Love and hugs to all

💜💜

@Adge The wires were okay - did not notice them at all once I was asleep but my little finger thing came off and I did not know until I woke up - they don't think it will affect the results too much but may need to do it all again Have to wait a couple of weeks now to find out.

@Faith-and-Hope @Snowie @Shaz51 @Bow and anyone else passing through...

Finally have Cat's results back and she is doing really well.Her intestine is looking normal (yea) and all her blood and urine tests were okay. They did show she was slightly anaemic but the vet is putting that down to the sedation. We don't need to do another ultrasound in the immediate future and follow up blood tests now 3 months rather than monthly. Have to keep up the meds for her as normal and continue to have faith in my little girl the fighter as well as the meds continuing to work. So really good news for my little sweetheart and really relieved from me.

The course was actually really good. It was a refresher course I needed to do to keep my accreditation up for 3 years but the group was small and the instructor was lovely so whilst sitting in front of the computer for 4 hours was long, it was also quite enjoyable. I still have to do my final test once the link comes through then it is all done.

Having a rest now before I tackle a few things I need to do today then will take the evening off for myself ...the couch, tv, Toby and I are going to be very well acquainted this evening
