My Hospital Stay

My Hospital Stay

So I arrived here at midday today.
Feeling a bit lost. Everything is so ... strange.
Not sure what to do now.
Starting to get a bit anxious. A bit teary. Trying hard not to think, or to feel.
Wishing I had a bourbon or some chips or junk food. Something to keep me busy and not feeling.

Re: My Hospital Stay

Wow, what great news about the Old Bugger, @utopia!

He will be seething.

They must have been looking for an excuse to get rid of him at the other hospital, or things would not have moved along so quickly. The must have confronted him over the complaint and he agreed to step down quietly. That's my guess, anyway.

Sorry to hear about the hassle with centerlink... you have to wonder why they would not accept your medical certificate exemption when you are in hospital? I don't understand centerlink and I am glad that I don't have to deal with them. It must be very stressful.

Part 3
Day 22 - Thursday
Thanks @Former-Member & @Sahara.
Celebrate the wins when they come.
I think the reason the Professor of Psychiatry at the public hospital - came to do my assessment personally - was because he saw the Old Buggers name written. Sounds like they were keeping a watch on him from afar. And maybe my issue was the final straw of many.
Will be interesting to see if the old Private Clinic - contacts me, now that my written complaint has gone in.
Anyway.
Woke up this morning with a spring in my step. Feeling ready to go home. Not anxious about it anymore.
Think the big cry I had with the psychiatrist helped. And knowing that she is trying to get me a permanent psychiatrist. And that she believes I can push through this shite period of my life & keep getting stronger and build some resilience to the stressors of dealing with these 'companies' (W/C & C/L) - who are not people - so cannot be reasoned with like individuals.
Oh, other good news.
My psychologist had a cancelation - so I get to see him late tomorrow, when I arrive home.
As @Faith-and-Hope would say :
tick tick tick.
So I'm feeling more positive. ♥♥♥♥

Glad that you're feeling quite good today @utopia. Seems like you're building up strength and it's great that the psychiatrist is trying to help set up supports for you, and that you're seeing your psychologist tomorrow. Good work in continuing to push through all the tough stuff.
