Something’s not right

My Mosaic

My Mosaic

My Mosaic

I like mosaic art, I’ve never actually done any, but it intrigued me. Made up of hundreds of tiny pieces of stone, glass and ceramic. If you look at it close up it doesn’t really look like anything special, if anything it looks like a mess. But if you take a step back and view the whole picture- it’s a master piece. I guess it’s kind of like life. So many tiny parts, some messy if we look just at the one part. Some day i guess I’d hope that the mess of my life will at some point look half decent.

So here is part of my mosaic, bits and pieces kept tidy together 🙂

tagging you @Emelia8 cause you asked 🙂

I'm sorry you don't have anyone else to rely on @Bow

But I guess getting out of there is something you can strive for.

Doing blah. Nurse on this arvo urg.

Re: My Mosaic

The dietitian came around this morning, for me to be able to go home I have to be 100% of my meal plan. Which I haven’t been able to do yet. Dinner is the only real struggle. So they are gonna drop my overnight NG fed and move dessert to supper. But she also wants to add cheese and crackers to afternoon tea (which I did not get this arvo) and if I can do all that then I can go home tomorrow. How does that add up? Unless they plan to discharge me after dinner tomorrow night??
As much as I wanna go home, and am desperate to get out of here and NEED to be home by Friday, this feels rushed. And feels like they are setting me up to fail.

It does all sound a bit rushed @Bow and I hope they don’t release you if you’re not well enough.

Sending lots of love 🩵🩵🩵

Re: My Mosaic

Aww @Bow that's such a tough spot, sounds like you've got very conflicting needs at the moment - need for the higher level of care vs. need to get home to look after things while your mum is away. You could potentially express this to your team, about feeling like you're being set up to fail? You could also see how you go over the next few days, sometimes a lot can change in a very short time. Maybe let them know Friday is your goal, and tomorrow night feels way too soon?

Re: My Mosaic

Starting food again has been very rushed @Eve7 it’s been very overwhelming considering my intake prior. They definitely want my bed though. The gastro dr has been trying to push me out for a week.

@Bow 😍😭🤗💜

(That crying emoji is happy crying btw)

It's really so nice!! You have such a steady and skilled hand darlin, you never cease to amaze! Now I got two things I gotta get my butt over to Officeworks to print off 😉

Yeah definitely have a chat to your CM darlin, at the very least you could start working on a plan for supporting your transition back home. I can imagine it feels pretty crappy to feel like you're being pushed out 😞

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow, I’m sorry to hear it’s been hard with your ED. I hope the chat with your CM proves to be useful. Sending you lots of love and hugs, hon 💖🫂

Re: My Mosaic

Unfortunately I’m pretty use to the feeling of being pushed out of my bed on a medical ward @Jynx I’ve had enough medical admissions for my ED over the years where medical Drs have no idea about EDs and I’m stuck under their care while I start eating again. Where I am constantly reminded by them that I am only in this bed cause mental health won’t take me with an NG tube. It’s so very frustrating!
