Re: not coping

apparently gp's can do the referral but it costs money but if you go to a specialist and they refer you it doesn't cost you anything. fingers crossed that is correct. I will ring them first thing since they open at 730am and ask them and book in.

will keep my fingers crossed they are good nurses on tonight 🤞

Re: not coping

Been watching BBT @outlander

Watching The Day After Tomorrow at the moment. I don't think it finishes till 11:30 so that will keep me occupied for awhile.

Laptop almost out of power so have to charge it at the nurses station so will switch to my phone.

Re: not coping

And early night sounds like a good idea @outlander ... you have a very big day ahead of you tomorrow.

Once you get through tomorrow .. the rest will be a breeze!

Hope you are able to get all necessary paperwork done, and appointments made to suit. I know it seems very overwhelming right now .. with so much happening and all so quickly now. But its a good thing Li'l One, and the first step towards sorting out your physical health issues.

Really hope everything goes well tomorrow. You probably wont get much chance to update us until evening. So please dont feel any pressure to do so. But I will be looking forward to hearing how everything went, when you are able to settle down from your long day.

Make sure you try to have something for breakfast. Perhaps good old toast with vegemite? Always a good fall back option here. In fact thats probably what I will be having. Hubby has an early appointment tomorrow, so we will be heading out soon after an earlyish breakfast.

Good night @Snowie ... I hope things are not as bad as you seem to think right now, regarding sleep. Fingers crossed you get good rest, if not proper sleep.

Sherry 😊🌺💤

Re: not coping

Ive been sleeping abit but not till very late/early morning @Snowie but a few hrs is better then nothing.
Im having another night of not being able to regulate body temp-even though my body externally is normal if i lay still to long it feels like i have a high temp and start sweating (i dont i checked) its very annoying.
So.. im going to listen to music, chat here and play phone games for now.

Are you settling in for a long night too? Do you think you could try for some sleep soon?

Re: not coping

Thanks @Former-Member it is overwhelming but its also the response ive been waiting for. Was getting tired of being brushed off and told to wait.

Im nervous about going to all the hospitals esp on my own. I can go to appts there but running around trying to find where i should be makes me nervous.

I cant have vegemite as it sets the reflux off so maybe just a piece of toast with butter might be ok. Ill see how i feel i guess.

I hope hubbys appt goes well or has answers for you both too.
