AWAKE.........

Hi AP7

Tried to send you a message this morning but no wifi.  I'm sorry to hear you're back in hospital.  Hopefully your test will come back clear but they seem to be doing a good job of keeping you safe until they can sort out the problem you were admitted with.

Hi Galligirl

I hope all goes well on Monday.

.. hope you get that negative swab result soon... then get sorted.

...  

... how are you?

What rubbishy info about the missing swabs ... everything now feels poorly thought out and managed... this government has a lot to answer for. It’s not surprising Covidiots are acting as they are ... our top role models don’t inspire confidence ...should I mention Dominic Cummings? As for bumbling BoJo @*#@ I do like Professor Van Tam though. 

I had my mammogram last Friday .. said results would take 2-3 weeks.

Been going grey since teens .. au naturelle for a few decades now but keep meaning to ‘do something’ with it ...green maybe  

still on with the walking, yoga, hiit and trying to resist buying too many ice cream lollies ... may fail tomorrow !!!

Sorry your mystery illness is back , and even more sorry uou are on a covid ward. We shall have to get the escape team ready, all in PPE, what a nightmare!! Take care and big hugs xxxx

Thinking of you all, dear fruit loops, hope you’re steadily improving  and really hope thy eh get you off that Covid Ward soon !

i darent open up about how I feel about all this miss-management, you’d never hear the end. Just say that in my opinion we need another Guy Fawkes! The whole b****y lot should go! 

Night night dear fruit loops, sleep well and stay safe.....

Is anyone awake? I’m having the most horrible night. Been really tired all day, tried to have an early night, ended up having a stupid row with DH. Really upset me, and here I am unable to sleep. I’m so sick of feeling ill all the time, putting on a brave face, and carrying on as normal.I just want to be able to do things I enjoy, without having to plan like a military operation.The bladder problem is becoming an enormous obstacle. If I go for a walk in the morning i have a huge embarrassing accident, so have to come home to ho the the loo. Better in the afternoon, but I’m still restricted. It disturbs my sleep, and even more my afternoon rest, so no wonder I’m tired. The Letrozole adds to the fatigue of course. I’m weepy, angry, oversensitive and low. I’m doing everything I can to get better, EMDR, counselling, homeopathy, mindfulness meditation.(I’ve got PTSD) I’ts helping but I still get this. Usually I can cope with the bladder sx when I know when the next Botox is, but with Covid it is going to be a vey long time, I find the hot weather exhausting snd have to drink a lot, so it’s a vicious circle.

All my other symptoms are making themselves felt tonight , as they do. Nausea, abdo pain, muscle joint and ligament pain from letrozole. Dry mouthdry eyes, needing drops throughout the night. And when i can’t sleep, despair. Is it always going to be like this. Can I have a good day and night once in a while?

Sorry for the rant, and you if you have been listening xxx

seaspirit44......sorry you have had such a bad 24 hours. Hoping you are asleep by now. I have been up a while but because it's hot I watered my plants before picking up.

I can only imagine how distressing all your complications are and as for the bladder.......I only have minor difficulties compared to you particularly in the mornings when I have no warning of needing the toilet until it's almost too late( and sometimes I can't get there quick enough.) Thank fully most times a leak pad is sufficient. So I can sympathise a small part with the stress you must feel. I am assuming you have tried incontinence knickers for going out.....just for the added confidence of knowing you have some back up. I don't know how uncomfortable they are but my Dad wore the male version for a year or so. In the end he had a catheter which although requires a permanent bag and to me looks fairly unpleasant, he himself found the knowledge he wasn't restricted to finding bathrooms, liberating. But he is an old man and you still want some normality in your life so probably far too early to consider.

Drinking lots of water and going to the toilet more often is a myth. If you drink plenty you stay hydrated everywhere and are therefore less tired too. My aunt made that mistake and drank so little she damaged her liver. You actually don't need the toilet more as your bladder empties more efficiently when you go.

I expect your DH understands that life can be difficult for you.Hopefully things will feel easier today. I hope you hear soon that your treatment can be continued. Covid19 has so much to answer for........

Anyway, as I said .....hoping you're having some sleep now. Don't worry about the rant. Writing everything down will have helped clear your thoughts, I'm sure. I'm sending you some flowers from my garden which are looking lovely in the early sunlight.

Take care. Thinking of you.

Thank you Lacomtekp,so kind. Love the flowers. I did sleep a bit till 6. Wide awake now resting and reading. Hopefully will be a better day xx
