My Hospital Stay

Re: My Hospital Stay

Re: My Hospital Stay

Oh Wow @utopia

 

You are somewhat off the planet and have a private room - with a view with green outside - that is so good to read 

 

I wish you the best there - that it can become your nest - and you can take the long weekend catching up with yourself until you start the hard work on Tuesday

 

All the best - and it is great you are writing this journal - later when you feel ready you can read it all back to yourself and see how far you manage to get - what you have been through to get this far

 

Well done and so great to hear about that private room

Thank you @Zoe7 beautifully said

Re: My Hospital Stay

Thank you @Owlunar. It will ne an interesting read when I'm better and can look back on this thread. Am thankful the meds knock me out. But so wish I could write as i used to - with ful descriptions. Not simply of objects, but of my feelings and the full story of interacting with others, and my logic brain versus the reality of the world.
But I will get bacj to a good head space and write more like ME.

Re: My Hospital Stay

You will write when you get yourself and your brain and your trauma and your logic sorted out @utopia

 

No need to worry yet - you have been through an horrific time - really bad

 

Have the best night you can - in your own room without someone yakking or snoring

 

My cat snores sometimes - but it's a forgivable little snore - truly - and dreams - I wonder what she dreams about - she has REM and she twitches and mutters and grinds her teeth and flicks her tail sometimes

 

Have the best night you can - I hope your drowsy pills work well tonight

Re: My Hospital Stay

@Owlunar. Lol. Think it might have been snoring myself and disturbing my blankets or pillows. Lol.
Fell asleep at midnight. Woke at 7.30am - right when the smoko courtyard opened. Perfect timing. Think it's going to be a good day.
My love to everyone. ♥♥♥

Re: My Hospital Stay

@utopia,

good morning! So glad that you are going well with the new psychiatrist. And a private room- I love your description of your room- a nun's cell. I remember travelling through Europe and visiting old monasteries, looking at the tiny cells the nuns slept in. I would imagine myself living that life and wondering if I would be comfortable having a tiny room with almost nothing in it.... and I believe I would. Smiley Wink

Not that I'm a nun in other ways!

Glad your brain is taking a rest. It must be very pleasant. I've always enjoyed that feeling of being 'doped-up', but I'm sure it's not for everyone. Guess I'm a bit of a dope-fiend at heart. Smiley Embarassed

Have a good day and enjoy the peace. Write soon. xx

Re: My Hospital Stay

@Sahara. They have big single rooms at this hospital. But there are about 4 that are that nun cell size. And one if the walls looks like old brick that's been rendered or painted. So I'm guessing was once an external wall. So yes - nun cell.
Have you seen the Tiny House Movement? It's been huge in America for over a decade - and here for half that time.
Worth looking at some of the Australian firms that produce these homes. Even better to google a firm from Alaska who have videos of their Tiny Homes and show you some space saving ideas.
Have a good day Sahara

Re: My Hospital Stay

A small private room would suit me better than a large room with all the mod cons and other people @utopia

 

I hope you have a good day and the smoking area was open when you woke up

 

I had a dream years ago - I was searching my unit for a smoke - I searched everywhere - I couldn't find one - and when I woke up I thought - fantastic - I can go up to the shops and get some - then realised I had quit years before - 

 

Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

 

I hope you have that good day and if you are feeling okay feeling spacy - well - after you have been through the spin-drying cycle more than twice - great to have it easy for a while

 

So - now I will have to look up these Tiny Homes - I know they have them in Tokyo - and Russia

 

Have the best day possible
