My Mosaic

Hospitals are heaps noisy eh @Snowie and literally right outside my room is a nurses station! Thankfully they let me close my door overnight so I really didn’t hear much.

do you have much planned for today?

thanks @Birdofparadise8 im not sure how long I’ll be in for. Dietitian and I agreed to an ng yesterday but Dr said no, not yet. See how I go over the weekend. Refeeding is then a slow process… 😩

Yeah, I saw the post about that. Are you able to ask for a second opinion from another doctor?

Oh yeah, I've heard about that when researching it. It can be harmful if you get too much nutrition too quickly. Do you get to see the same dietitian as the one when you're outpatient.

It's called refeeding syndrome. @Bow

Will D be able to come and see you?

Least the door closed blocked out most of the noise @Bow

Hopefully your dietitian and gp can get back on to the same page.

Haven't got a lot planned for today. Have a friends 18th Birthday tonight. That will mean socailising 😔😔

Nah I don’t think so @Birdofparadise8 just gotta wait around I guess. My blood sugars are starting to be effected now, so maybe he will agree to it sooner.

yeah refeeding syndrome. So slow. Just feels like a waste of a couple of days over the weekend having to wait. Frustrating that it’s something that I agreed to. Not an easy decision.

no I see a private dietitian. But the hospital dietitian asked for my dietitian details cause she wanted to speak with her. I often contact my dietitian while in here… if things aren’t working or something, she’s a good sounding board and will give me tips and suggestions. She is really good like that.

mum and my D will come in tomorrow.

what are you up to today?

Oh socialising is probably the last thing you feel like doing @Snowie! Will you have to stay long?

it’s the hospital dietitian and the gastro dr I have been admitted under that aren’t agreeing. I find the dietitians here have more understanding of eating disorders and the dr don’t know much at all.

Ah, okay, that's annoying. I hope the doctor listens to you when you see them next.

Yes, it would be hard. Having an NG tube wouldn't be fun.

Okay, well, at least you've got more support then.

That's good to hear. I'm sure D will like that.

I will meet a group of girls at the botanical gardens today. It's the second time we are meeting. I met them through a girl's brunch thing two weeks ago. @Bow

Hopefully not too long @Bow

Will leave and let the young one's party on!!

Sometimes I think doctors have a hard time at taking other professionals suggestions. It can become a great barrier.

I’ve had a pretty shitty day. Been curled up in bed crying. The dr I am admitted under came around early this morning and said my potassium is fine and I could go home. I was like what the hell??

TW: Eating disorder

He left, they talked outside my door for a bit, mentioning mh.
As much as I don’t wanna be in here and hate it, I am not ready to go home. If I go home I will just be back in a few days worse.
So I have no idea what is going on.

I am so angry and upset.

Oh @Bow

I’m so sorry that has happened.
It’s so unfair that the doctor said those thing to you.

It is understandable that you are angry and upset @Bow You have every right to be. Sometimes it feels like we are just a number instead of a person.

Is there any way you can get in touch with your support team? Perhaps they might be able to talk to the doctor.

Sitting in this space with you 💗💗
