Re: not coping

Oh ok @outlander just over a week to go. I really hope this is a positive for you. Pain relief, in some way, or any way, would help I think.

I hope so too @Maggie its been long enough now. There has been many times i should have gone or could have gone to the ed but at this point just going to hold out as every other test that are first options have already been done so just holding out now. Im overthinking things as usual though 🤦‍♀️ so ive put big brother on and trying to crochet more of this bloody blanket that seems never ending

Re: not coping

Not at all @outlander. I really struggled to get up his morning, and only got up and showered just before support worker came at 11am. After he left at 1pm I went to get bloods taken, and then to the supermarket. By the time I got home, I only had time to send a quick email before heading out for my walk. so I am doing some of it now, hoping to finish feedback on my mh project that I am involved in.

Tomorrow I am quite busy again until mid afternoon, then I have to start my prep drink for my procedure on Thursday. That means spending quite a bit of time in the bathroom/Toilet!!

Re: not coping

I am a Catergory 1 patient @outlander because of my prior history of cancer. I guess you call that a positive lol. My GP isn't concerned about that, more looking for a potential source of minute bllod loss as a cause of my anemia. I honestly don't think they will find anything or very little.

They actually wanted me to have the procedure last week! I am going to a smaller, local hospital and my support worker will take me to the hospital and bring me home which I am very grateful for since this is often something I have to arrange myself. And it's a day she doesn't normally work.

Usually I get an Uber there and back or public transport to the hospital, and I often have fights with the nursing staff because you are always supposed to have someone collect you. I have felt quite sad that I have to go to hospital alone, and make my own way home, especially when I see most other people come with one or more people. Even when I had SA/SH/SI I often drove myself or got an Uber to ED.

Yes today and tonight are getting away from me, as did yesterday. Now I am have lost my mojo a bit as I have forgotten a few key things I wanted to give feedback on from the meeting yesterday. Hopefully, I might be prompted by the work tonight.
