Re: I've had my chest x-ray

I lost my vaper in my house a day or two before I was brought in last week and never got around to replacing it. Then,once admitted couldn't buy a new one if I'd wanted to. So I am completely nicotine free now and don't miss it. It was a very low dose of nicotine I was on anyway.

The strangest thing is I dont remember being admitted to hospital or what I thought once I realised where I was.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Well done on giving up Dreamy.
No, I guess you were very confused, but at least you are in the right place Dreamy. Sleep well if you can. Good Night. x

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

I did sleep well - I generally do in hospital. There's something comforting about having others around. I don't know what I'll do when I leave.

It occurred to me today that most of us have routines and our days are very similar whether we live alone or not.I used to like my independence, but I've lost that now.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

I can understand that, you are thinking logically now. Being alone when you are distressed is unbearable.

Glad you slept well. X
You will need extra care if and when you go home. Think about how you would implement that Dreamy.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Perhaps someone coming round each day would be a start. I couldn't imagine being home alone.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Yes I think that would be a good start.
Increase the care if and when you need it Dreamy.
Better that than thoughts of the hospice yet.
The hospital social worker should discuss this with you, before you are discharged.
Not a sure how this works in Scotland.
But ask. X

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Today I've to have a blood transfusion this afternoon. Not too happy with that but they say I'm a little anaemic.

Also had 2 psychiatrists in, checking on my memory and other cognitive areas.

Yesterday I made my final donations to the Maggis centre - you can look them up. So I've paid out £2k in donations so far and that's money the state won't see. I truly believe that is the best charity I could give to.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

You will feel better for the blood transfusion Dreamy.
I am guessing the psychiatric assessments were to see if you can make rational decisions.

I am glad you are happy with your donations Dreamy, as I know that is important to you.

Any decisions about discharge yet?

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

No, I'll be in here for a while - better than lots of little stays.plus,I'll have lots of chemo coming up and I think they'll keep me in rather than have me turn up at 9pm for appointments.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

I agree with that, 9 pm that is late?????
