Re: I've had my chest x-ray
I felt so dizzy during my shower today; I was scared of falling as I can't support my body weight very well - I'm only 11 St - but my muscles have wasted away a bit from constant sitting and lying on the bed in hospital.On a positive note, a headache I had a few hours ago has gone; I'm mostly tired now.

I am glad you slept well, it makes all the difference. x

Re: I've had my chest x-ray
Yes, waking up at 7 was what I did in hospital. Breakfast was about 7:45 and they always made me a cup of coffee in the interim.I know something is wrong with me when my sleep is disturbed. I've had a couple of micronaps <5 minutes this afternoon.
Reading the hospital's letter to my doctor this afternoon, I was surprised that my stay was from the 5th of February 'til the 22nd; I hadn't realised that it was quite that long. I seem to have lost some clothes along the way - a pair of jeans and a nice top...oh well, they're only clothes, my health is what matters. I also discovered that I gave £2000 not £1000 to the cancer charity but at least it's for a good cause and I'm not broke yet.
The bit which states whats wrong with me lists recurring Hodgkins Lymphoma, pancytopenia, mania based on my Bi-Polar and a urinary tract infection which can make you very ill if untreated.
It's a surprise that I do sleep well having all that although the hospital stay did me a lot of good. And I've got another longer stay to come starting on Wednesday. My PIP stops if I'm in hospital for more than a month; I'd been using that money for taxis and coffees while away from home. The hospital has a shop that does great coffee and it's not extortionately priced. I've discovered that my bank card is essential in hospital as well as my mobile phone plus charger and around £10 in cash.

Your PIP does indeed stop if you're an 'in-patient' for more than 1 month, but repeated shorter stays are not counted, so if you are re-admitted, the clock starts running all over again.
