Re: not coping

@outlander thinking of you with your very busy and stressful day - I also find it stressful to try and find my way around hospitals. Hoping things go smoothly for you today, and you were able to get a bit of breakfast down.

Re: not coping

thank you @Jacques
I have chronic insomnia that medications even struggle to help with so makes it difficult.
I have an oil diffuser that I use and have like a bedtime routine but I find that I just have to accept that when I sleep I sleep when I don't I don't 🤷‍♀️ i have such a strange body I think 🤦‍♀️😬


Thanks @NatureLover
no breakfast, cant even manage a tea this morning unfortunately.

I have been to the clinic, filled out papers and handed them back in, went across to the hospital and handed those papers in and got the paperwork required for the tests.

I actually have a lot more then just an MRI 😬
I have an MRI, an ultrasound, a doppler test, a blood test and a urine test.

the MRI and ultrasound are booked in for Friday starting at 630am
and then the doppler test starts at 830am on Tuesday

I have the surgical appt on Thursday as well. lots of appointments to try and get through!!!

Re: not coping

Oh gosh, @outlander ...no breakfast or even a cup of tea 😥

Well done for doing those things this morning. Gosh, so many tests, but at least things are moving now for you.

I really hope you can eat later today...will be keeping my fingers crossed.

Re: not coping

im going to make a cup of tea in a min and maybe a piece of toast @NatureLover I don't really have breakfast on a normal basis so its not much different..

there are soooooo many tests and appointments, its a lot to contend with that's for sure.

the first 2 tests are being done on Friday- starting at 630am 😯

I did confirm though that I don't have to pay anything so that's a really good thing. once all the results go back to my specialist he will give me a ring to discuss them.
he has put down on the gastroscopy forms that I need to be made a high priority. its usually within a month but with covid they said there are some delays and might take up to 3 but they are aiming for much sooner. they said if I get really bad/worse then I can come into emergency.

Re: not coping

Thank you @outlander I’ve been thinking about you today too with all you have going on.

ECT and a gastroscopy are similar in a way. You fast from midnight, go in and wait your turn with others then you get a twilight anaesthetic that puts you to sleep quickly and you wake up with no memory and instead of a headache you might have a bit of a sore throat.!Then they give you some food and a drink and someone has to take you home.
