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.

@PeppyPatti My self care, atm could be being couch potato fully resting, could be reading, could be trying to make greeting cards, could be trying to sort and tidy my place

moved to this unit almost 2 years ago with full intention of fully dealing with contents of one packing box at a time, regardless how long it took. That didn’t fully work. Single car garage and one bedroom have become my junk rooms.


@TAB my veins go hiding when comes to blood tests and hospitals, it sucks. I’m 3rd generation like it and some in next 2 generations the same. My heart goes out to you.

Physio worked on both shoulder blades yesterday, quite sore this morning 🙁. Had hoped to get some house work done plus do bit more card making, so much for those thoughts. Cold and overcast this morning. Time for small electric blanket on the couch after deciding what dvd to watch

hi @Meowmy @plasmo @Mazarita

hope everyone has a good day. Any plans anyone?

Re: Night Shift

yeah, a lot of people who do it dont seem to make much effort trying to get a vein compared to some really good people had in kalgoorlie where they had done it all day every day for decades. @Former-Member um I never used to have a problem but am obese now and heart problems. does not help . sometimes they get first time if make effort to hydrate (need to start day before have found out and keep warm. have been covered in bruises when in hosp from all the 'misses' then you get all the excuses as to why its me not them. funny how same people are the ones that consisitently cannot do it tho lol. somepeople can get cannula in first go, while had others have 4 attempts just for blood test before they gaveup.was at part time place w one person so had to walk away. there was no competent back up. the other thing is people who are not confident will stuff up best say3 spots andwhen they give up someone else can walk in and get 4th best spot first go .. all v. boring.I hate it.
