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.

I am glad there was no fire alarm @utopia - down side for you though- no firemen lol
Don't worry at all about being 'out of the loop' - you are number 1 and you need to take care of you first 
I know I'm number 2 (that really doesn't sound right lol) but you know what I mean - and we'll catch up when we can 
I have no doubt you are keeping everyone on their toes in there - would expect nothing less from you my beautiful cocky friend 
I hope everything is ok with the ecg and you get your meds sorted.
Always thinking of you and sending you huge hugs and all my love

Have a good rest tonight @utopia - have spent all day looking for more cockatoo pics 😆 Not really, I went out with my best friend for lunch. She just messaged me this morning to see if I was free. Love those spur of the moment things.

@utopia All the best when you leave hospital next week. You do sound really good, you seem to be more confident and have more clarity about things. I can tell by the way you are expressing yourself.However, it is great to hear you can see the improvements within yourself.
I know in the past you've not had the support when you left hospital, I am glad this is not the case. I actually going back into hospital sometime soon, I am waiting to hear back from the clinical team. I think I will be going in Monday week or sometime that week.
