Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor23 Sept 2015, 4:13 am AEST

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.

Re: Night Shift

Good morning all!

@msbertie @Mazarita my husband also had ibd.

He is on infliximab infusions every 8 weeks. He has 'indeterminate colitis' meaning they're not sure if it's Crohns or ulcerative colitis.

Either way his large bowel is not going to last much longer. He has some nasty bowel scarring and he just can't seem to be in remission.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Angels333,

I remember you saying that your husband had IBD but not so much info before. Really sorry he's going through that. It's so hard when the disease is in the active and acute stages. Must be hard on you caring for him too. Sending best wishes for both of you.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope, @Silenus, good morning.

I'm going off line to spend a bit of time with partner now but will probably be on and off the forum throughout the day. Hope the day treats everyone well.

Re: Night Shift

Good morning @eth

I have a day of tidying up around here. I intend to just potter about doing bits and pieces until there's a slightly better order about the place.

My wayward husband and his mum return from overseas tonight .... so much has happened while they have been away - for the good - and now I have to see how it all goes.

Trying not to overthink it and just stay in the moment. He has been sounding calm and together on the phone these last 3 weeks, and he only intends to stay about four days before taking off interstate again.

D3 turns 18 on Tuesday.

Has the weather cleared up at all for you guys ? It sounded pretty wild in NSW and Qld. How was the top end @eth ?

West coast is very quiet this morning, but overcast and drizzly. Might stay toastie in bed for a while .....

i hope everyone has a nice relaxed day lined up.

💗

Re: Night Shift

@Faith-and-Hope I hope things go smoothly with your husband's return and that you all have a really happy day on Tuesday with D3.

We didn't have any change in the weather at all up here - 35 in the day and ~24 at night. Usually it's much cooler in June but this year we had the hottest May on record ever so who knows what's going to happen??

Re: Night Shift

Morning all🌞
I hope all transitions smoothly @Faith-andHope. Sound like you have another busy week with an 18th thrown in too. I wanted you to know that I edited my heavy post last night and took most of it away. I didn't feel comfortable leaving that info up.

Hi @eth. It's great to hear you've had some lovely social time over the last few days. I didn't mean to be nosey the other day when I thought you were missing. I'm glad it was for a good reason. By the way smoked salmon is one of my fave dishes. It's a bit of a staple in my house💜

I've woken up a little better today, hopefully stay a bit stable again - roll on Monday

Wishing you all a good day. I'm about to head off and take my son to his football match
😊💜
