Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Howdy @Meowmy @TAB @Bill16

Hope your days are going well

I spoke with the relevant people at work today about my going into hospital. They were all cool about it (you'd imagine Lifeline would be, but still). Had kinda dragged the chain on it waiting to see when my driver would be back at work, but that looks like a number of weeks at this stage. As my bosses said, I have to look after myself. Alternate arrangements can be made at work as needs be.

Anyway, big load off my mind. Will call hospital this afternoon. Normally takes a couple of weeks to get in.

Re: Night Shift

Hey @Meowmy been making self busy waiting for Dr to call for last hour.

  • did dishes
  • chopped up old veg for birds
  • chopped up sheep hearts snooty cat wouldnt eat and put outside for magpies they love meat lol
  • ok . problem with bloods, only the one thing.heart , cancer etc ok
  • thyroid levels way out of whack.
  • thyroid level is high now, not low.
  • However, the reading for the signal saying send more hormones is also high, so makes no sense
  • so have to do bloods again
  • also have to have ultrasound on thyroid

lucky did not get job would have been sacked by now for having appts once a week lol
