The sound of snoring.

Less than one minute read time.

Friday 23 December 

It's Friday 4.40 am, yesterday was ok, just a day of intravenous antibiotics, blood tests, blood pressure and temperatures, all good so far, hoping to go home today.

I really need some SLEEP!!! I am so fed up. The lady they moved who snored the worst got moved because she had an awful cough and they didn't want it spreading, but she was replaced by the loudest snorer ever.

I think in the last three nights I have had in total about five hours sleep...I need to go home, I need to sleep, the ladies are so,so lovely during the day, but at night...The snoring is driving me crazy! I get terrible thoughts, the ear plugs don't work, I've tried my earphones with music playing, still  all I can hear is snoring!!! I don't think I can take much more. Now there are two of them at it. I give up. How dooo they manage to sleep themselves?

Stop this ride....I want to get off!!!

    As I said in a previous comment why do they have you on a ward ? 

    When I got admitted I had a side room sadly was on a ward full of dementia patients and hearing then calling out for their family all night

    . I cried all night  with sadness for them but it made me realise how lucky I am  as I can recover from cancer yes its a rough journey but I can and will recover .

    Them poor people have no chance of recovery .

    Sometimes its takes something like that to make us realise life isn't as bad as it really feels as the moment .

    Fingers crossed you get home today .

  • So true Maria

    Thanks for that it made me think, it's not so bad, hopefully I will be in my own bed tonight and best of all with my daughters on Saturday (shhh, I don't have a plan really, just that teeny one and I've been given permission or go by the chemo nurse if I get home) Things could be much worse. Thanks for the reality check. I'm going to try to embrace the snoring now...maybe I should join in?

    Hugs to you. Xxx

    Sorry if it came across harsh wasn't meant to at all , but I was allowing myself to feel like a cancer victim before I was admitted to hospital and that gave me the kick up the arse I needed .

    Yes join in with  the snoring lady and just take each day as it comes  and don't allow the cancer to take away who you really are .

    Hugs back to you

    Thinking of you xxxx

  • Jm hopefully you will be in your own bed tonight and away from the snoring ladies . You will feel better after a good sleep. The weather up here is worse today than it was yesterday and me and my wife still haven't bought each other a gift for Christmas. I need to give myself a good shake and get out tomorrow as the forecast for this evening isn't any better. I've got logs in and the stove blazing for my wife coming in from work. I hope your wishes for tomorrow are fulfilled. Hugs and best wishes to you and your family.
