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 🙂

Hey @Bow,

Hard work but worth it if you can increase the oral intake. I have sooooooo much hope for you so you can go home 💛

Seen the doctor this morning, aiming to be home by Wednesday! Something to look forward to.

Also seen the dietitian this afternoon and she has put together a plan to increase my oral intake over the weekend. It’s a lot. A real lot. But I need to do it so I can get out of here.


Hi @Bow , sounds like the scheduled amount is a bit alarming...good luck with it, I know you're highly motivated to go home by Wednesday 🙂 👍💜

Thanks @NatureLover @tyme @Former-Member @Captain24 @hanami

im feeling really irritable today, not entirely sure why, my room mate is certainly getting on my nerves though, I have to bite my tongue a lot . Hopefully the visit from my mum and daughter helps a bit.

My NG feeds have been reduced as of today too. No feeds during the day, just overnight, which is nice.

Hey @Bow ,

I want to acknowledge how brave it is for you to go through what you are currently going through. It takes a lot of strength to want to recover and get better, and even more strength to allow others to help you - even if it is not pleasant for the time being.

You are an inspiration @Bow . Please take care.

I'm here sitting with you, tyme

Re: My Mosaic

I’m frustrated with myself tonight. I couldn’t eat all my dinner for the second night in a row, which means I had to have a bolus feed, which means a set back. I can’t go home while still having bolus feeds. In all honesty it has been a big jump in my oral intake over the weekend, so no real surprise that I have struggled with the increase. But it’s still frustrating.

i had a quiet day today. No visitors. I watched a whole series on Netflix. Had a nap. Read some of my book. Now I’m ready for bed. It would be nice if tonight was my last night here… but I doubt it will be.

thank you @tyme for your kind words, I really appreciate them.
thanks also to you @Eve7 @Snowie

Re: My Mosaic

There will always be a few set backs @Bow . That's natural. I also have setbacks, but I do not let the setbacks pull me down so I cannot get up. I am determined to stay on the winning track.

I know you can too.

Re: My Mosaic

Setbacks lead to comebacks @Bow

Walking this path with you 💜
