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.

There are both male and female drs at this clinic @Catcakes, and we will need both .....

I am personally more comfortable with female doctors, but didn’t want to wait for the next available apt on Friday. It was a good first contact.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Heyo peoples.

I'll check into the sick bay too. Heavy cold, and I'm tired as all else.

Daughter had an emergency department night two nights ago. She was taken in by ambulance and went home by taxi. We were "on call" in case there were no options for getting her home, so the phone was beside my pillow and rang several times through the wee hours. Her credit eventually ran low, and she was finding it all pretty distressing, so I rang her back and spent maybe an hour talking with her while she waited... and maybe I got too cold with the change in the weather coming through, so here I am in bed feeling crummy.

And I was hoping with the weather being cooler, I might get a bit done around the house and garden. Sigh.

Yes please, a Chai Latte would be lovely @Faith-and-Hope

That sounds like good work you've been doing at your Mum's @Shaz51

Despite having a nasty infection, & soreness...

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Might glance out window occasionally @Adge how about you?

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I'm okay, just very tired thanks @Former-Member

That was @Shaz51 with the nasty infection.

The Dr reckons I now have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (for the past 2 years) - directly caused by my bowel surgeries.

He never said anything about what to do about it. So I shall have to do some research on it, when I'm able.

I've been managing it myself for the past few years, with no recognition or diagnosis from Drs.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I might do the same @Former-Member A glance out the window or door might do it...

Staying up later is not really an option for me.
