Finally Home 😔 missed you all

46 Replies

I’m finally home from 3 weeks in hospital.

I was put in isolation with only nurses and docs who dressed like beekeepers as company. I was allowed no visitors to protect me from outside germs 😢

I can honestly say I went through every part of my brain in that time...

4 blank beige walls with peeling off paint

The ceiling with the flickering lights

Window with the carpark as a view .. “oh thats nice” you must be thinking “at least you were able to people watch”... no! All I saw were loads and loads of visitors for others ... visitors that I wasn’t allowed

It’s the loneliest I’ve ever felt in my life ... I think I analysed my whole life twice over.

Internet hardly worked so I couldn’t even come here 😭

So when I say I missed every single human on here! I REALLY MEAN IT! 💕 I was thinking of you all in my low points... and I hope you’re all doing okay x

Aww thanks x how are you doing?

Omg I had no idea you’ve been in the hospital so long! I’ve been wondering about you. I’m so glad you’re okay! Love you & sending you hugs! I’m so glad you’re feeling better now!!! Xoxoxo

in reply to

Oh gosh tell me about it !!! Felt like it was never ending!!

All family and friends are calling and wanting to come see me now but tbh after being isolated for so long it’s overwhelming me a little....I just want to spend a week or so with my husband because they hardly allowed him to visit too x kinda ease back into the real world...hope fam and friends don’t think I’m too rude x they probably will 🙄 lol

in reply to

I would totally suggest easing back into it! Omg! Bless your heart. I hope you’re feeling good. Did you say you have pneumonia??? I get that at least once a year. I’m so sorry you went through that. I’ve had asthma & bronchitis since I was a baby. My daddy has COPD, so I completely understand the pain you have with your lungs!!! Enjoy your home, tellie, talking to us & spending time with your hubby!!!! I love you!!! I’m glad you’re okay now!!!! Xoxoxo

in reply to

Yeah pneumonia and bronchitis are my besties forever!!!! Love them 🙄

Oh I’m for sure enjoying Netflix at the moment!

Love you lots x did you have a good meal last night x

Welcome back home. How are you doing?

in reply toMichael8072

Hey Michael

I’m on the mend thanks. I thinking I’m struggling mentally a little bit as I was isolated and now all of a sudden there’s a lot of attention from friends and family which is so so lovely but I’m feeling a tad overwhelmed lol

I can understand that. Going from seeing no one to alot can be overwhelming. Hope you've been able to rest and ease back into everything.

Welcome back!

I missed you, hadn’t realised you where in hospital 😞

I’m so glad you are home and back...

I’m sure if you explain to family and friends that’ your overwhelmed and just need some time to adjust they will understand...

I’m hapoy you are back !

❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹 xxx

in reply to

It’s okay I wasn’t able to post about it due to the low internet there ! X

Yeah I have explained and they haven’t come today so that’s great x

Hoe are you? 💕

in reply to

Oh that’s good, you need some time to adjust 😊

I’ve not been great..had really bad anxiety with a couple of things ...had a new bathroom fitted which is lovely, but having workmen around was not great for me, it finished now 😊 thank goodness.and hopefully all will be sorted out over the next couple of weeks ..which should help me get back on track....

Sometimes you feel you just want some peace..

It is so lovely to have you around again ..and to hear your out of hospital...🌹🌹🌹

Xx

in reply to

Yeah definitely need time to adjust even walking around doing stuff for myself seems strange I think I got used to the 5 star hotel experience you know 😉 lol

Oh I know the workmen feeling... I’m so glad it’s finished mow x are you happy with the bathroom? X hope it was worth it! Hehe

Yes I remember last year we had builders in ever room including gardens too I used to go for a walk just to catch my breath!

♥️

in reply to

Hiya.

Bathroom is lovely thank you..

Seems a lot going on for me, you know those times it’s one thing after the other..😞

I’ve had to have pest control out. Could hear something in roof space..And since they came yesterday, I’ve had no sleep...noise in the roof space was freaking me out ..

I think tiredness really affects our mental health soooo much.

Hope I can get some sleep tonight..pest control back in a few days to see what’s what ...

You take care of yourself..

Every good wish 🌺🌺🌺 x

bridder01 in reply to

Hey, we watered them, we didn't say we'd clean up after them lol

in reply tobridder01

Loool hmm okay okay I’ll let you guys off (makes note never to let you all housesit again! 😋😋😋) 😂

bridder01 in reply to

If you want a good housesitter, that runs into money. I charge 10 cents a minute (25 cents on weekends) and an extra 50 cents for caring for plants/animals. Otherwise, what do you expect? lol :-P

in reply tobridder01

My GOODNESS! how can you charge for friendship!!!!

Make it 5 PENCE ! 🇬🇧

bridder01 in reply to

Hey, don't blame me on the poor rate of exchange lol. Think of all the hours of sleep I lose by tending house. Those holes in my eyelids aren't going to check themselves, you know lol :-P

in reply tobridder01

Haha well look you signed the friendship contract and all this comes along with it!!! 🤷🏻‍♀️ can’t back out now!

While you went for your op (btw how are you recovering?!!) I cleaned your house! Stocked your fridge! Heck I even changed the batteries in the clock that stopped!!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄

What hospital does isolation like that? That is terrible. I am glad you are out, but worried if hospitals in my area would ever do something like that. It is scary because isolation has been proven to worsen an illness. I am really glad you are out!

in reply todore13

Unfortunately I do have to do that sometime because I was born with bad lungs and on top of that I do have an immune system problem too.. so in order to keep me protected while I’m in such a fragile position they do it x I understand why they do but gosh 😢 it’s brutal! X

Thanks 🙏🏼 I’m glad too!

Want2BHappy3 in reply to

You told us your story, but I didn't read the reason WHY???

in reply toWant2BHappy3

Oh I’m sorry. It’s because I was born with a lung condition and I have an immune system condition and then I caught pneumonia and bronchitis!

But I’m on the mend now x

Hiya how are you today, lovely? ❤️

in reply toStarrlight

I’m not 100% but my consultant was very eager to get me out of that place as there were so many more germs in there for me to catch!

Resting up x

How are you doing now? X

Oh that's awful. I can kinda relate but not for 3 weeks. When I had the brain bleed I was in ICU for 8 days. They wouldn't let me out of bed except to use the bathroom. After 4 days I was able to walk around the unit but only with a staff member. I was allowed visitors though.

in reply toaaronm

Aw I’m so sorry you had to go through that ☹️

My bathroom was within my room too x

I’m really glad you got out after 8 days but to be honest even one day seems like a month in there x

How are you and your family doing?

aaronm in reply to

The cold and flu virus has been terrorizing us for a little over a week and its getting really annoying. The baby and 17 year old are going back to the doctor today. My wife and 3 year old are sick too.

in reply toaaronm

Oh gosh it’s so bad this year isn’t it ? That’s how I ended up in hospital because all my parents and siblings had it ... my husband caught it and then some girls in class had it so I just had no chance lol !

It’s really awful though.. ginger and lemon tea with honey helped a lot try it x
