Re: not coping

Good evening @Sans911 and thanks for the advice about adhesive residue. You're not wrong ... its a right pain! Good old KFC wipes have helped. Actually I was just really relieved to remove the dressings and have a nice long shower this arvo. But ever since ... Ive been stuck. 😡 Much better now anyway, but if still tacky in the morning I will give the eucy oil a run. Thanks for that. 💓

How has your day been?

Re: not coping

hoping the wipes help @Emelia8 if not have a look at priceline pharmacy or chemist warehouse or wherever might be close to you. they usually have adhesive removal wipes very cheap like 80cents i think from memory.

i will be discharged. just waiting on medications to take home with me. there isnt much that they can really do. theyve told me that i basically need to give my stomach a rest and to just take small sips of water and a little bit of like chicken soup without the noodles in it for the next 48 hours to help resettle the inflammation. i just have to try and stay hyrdrated. they just topped up the pain relief and anti nauseas in the canula and will take it out when the medications arrive.
they said if i get worse again or i cant keep water down etc then to come back again but there isnt much difference between what i can do at home and whatll happen here.
i havent vomited or had any very severe cramps since the first dose of meds got into my system. its more just feeling quite sick, tired and still crampy but i can breathe without vomiting now.
mum will be coming to pick me up when i send her a msg. no use asking her to come now when im still hooked up to things and still waiting on meds to come first. pop is at her house because he was freaking out when i said i was going to hospital so i rang mum and asked her to come get him

i cant beleieve how sick it made so unintentionally 😞 thank you all for being here with me. i hope to be home soon

Re: not coping

I'm now quite sensitive to those sticky dressings, so I rarely have that issue any more. But my other problem is that I'm quite sensitive to many, many dressings so I have to use non adherent dressings and no tape. This unfortunately means I rarely get a break from wearing a bra, as that's the only thing holding them in.

My day hasn't been too bad. I have a walking group on Wednesday and Friday mornings. That's followed by a coffee & Muffin (breakfast) and lots of chatter and laughs.

Then I drove about half hour to meet my mother at another shopping centre. She lives a couple of hours away so I offer to drive a bit in her direction. I didn't realise she'd run into my aunties so it was lovely to see them too.

Mum and I went shopping and to run some errands, and my aunties went a different way. Then we met all together again for lunch.

And by the time I got home my support worker was only a few minutes behind me. She's really lovely, and I always enjoy time with her, but it often seems to be o go too quickly.

Now I'm relaxing with the cat laying against my leg and the heated blanket on.

Re: not coping

Thanks @Otter and everyone. I'm ok, struggling to keep up with it all. But I'll survive. Thanks 😊
