Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

Yep definitely @Former-Member both she and I don't know why I passed AFTER the test. Strange person I am lol.

Oh that sounds interesting. I bet you'd have to be great at report writing for that job

Hi @Former-Member @Shaz51

My AB's were all finished yesterday.

The nurse came this morning, she was concerned about the 2 wound holes that are not healing up.

She said she thinks that I need more time off work (to recover) - that I'm not ready to go back to work next Monday (as scheduled).

I just don't see how I can push heavy wheelchairs for miles (as is the job), & drive 100Km (most days) - when that might give me another wound split, or strain things.

I see the Surgeon tomorrow, for my post-op Review appointment.

I need to ask him some questions, as he doesn't volunteer any information (usually).

I hope you have all had a good day.

Taking a list of questions a sensible option @Adge esp if surgeon not forthcoming with information. Trust appt goes ok.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thanks @Former-Member I may need another antibiotic - as infection is still present, according to nurse.

Hope you heal up soon @Adge.

Hello everyone. Had a day out with our town Garden Club today, including Devonshire Tea (or Coffee) at the first garden we visited. We sat out on the paved area next to the property owners' house, with a beautiful view over their garden of the surrounding hills.

All still very summer-dry. One news headline was saying that the year-to-date rainfall is a record low.

Hi @Shaz51, wanna share this one with me?

I've grabbed one of my "assorted fabrics" boxes and sorted it more or less into fabric types. Sewing is one of my perennial "want to get around to it" things, but maybe if I can get to the point where I know what I have to work with it might actually happen? Here's hoping.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Smc Lovely drinks and fabric ideas.

@Shaz51 Oh dear ..

@Adge Healing takes as long as it takes. It sounds like you def need more time. Utterly stupid if they dont give you certificate as the nurse has confirmed infection. Hugz

I indulged tired headachey feelings and stayed in bed til 12. Have osteo, car trip and choir tonight.

Looking forward to it as we are starting to do some things by memory. I have been lazy and relied on music, but it feels good to sing things ... by heart ...
