Good morning @BlueBay 🌻💖
Sounds like you found yourself nice and settled there yesterday upon arrival at the hospital. 👍
How was your first night there?
Have any of your required tests been scheduled yet?
Now that you're there Bluebay, I hope you stay as long as you can. Please dont rush to get home or back to work. You have some potentially serious health and medication issues to work through first.
Very relieved for you that this time you do not have the added financial burden and concerns when not working. Thank goodness for Centrelink! 🌷
So good to hear you spoke to Little A on facetime. Keep doing that. Who looks after Jersey when you are not at home? 🐶
Catch up again later Blue.

Hi @Emelia8
I chatted online with a Sane counsellor. I was emotional. But I had a really good sleep.
They did an ECG last night at 9.30 when I was almost asleep. The test showed my heart rate very slow. Nit sure what that means. Hopefully today I'll see the physician who saw me the other day.
This time it's strange. It's like I don't want to be here. I know I'll stay for the tests and stay fir a week. See how I am after that and depending on results if tests.
hope you are ok. I'm sorry I'm not following many posts. xxxxx

I'm not doing great. I feel so closed in my room. Can't go anywhere. There are groups but even thst is limited.
I spebt a lot of yesterday sleeping. I can't read my book as I can't concentrate.
I had chest pains last night so they called another high nurse who was rude towards me and said I was fine. I kniw Whst I'm feeling. So the nurse called my psych and physician and decided to give me a med to relax and sleep. I had a really good sleep.
this mirning I've already seen the physician he was here early. He's calling in a cardiologist to see me snd do the echo. I had blood tests this morning.
A nurse is taking 4 patients out for a walk in car park. I'll go.
I have a phone session with my own psychologist. It's been two months since last saw her.
better go. I'll let you guys know how I go.
love to all

Morning @BlueBay ... nice to hear from you. And I'm glad you are getting some of those tests done, which you need.
Enjoy your walk, and I hope your psych phone session goes well. Does she know you are in hospital? So good to hear that you got a good sleep. Very important. Look forward to hearing more from you later.
