😫. Have a good (uninterrupted) sleep tonight in the side room! Hope everything gets sorted soon and that there is a forcefield around you killing off any bugs that dare to even look at you 😋. Sleep tight x

No chance on all the steroid going around my body that's what the nurse said I bet u don't get lot of sleep with the steroids and the hydro no chance might get few hours if lucky but thanks anyway take care

I spend my time 'drifting' when I'm like that, eyes shut, ears plugged into some kind of noise (music/audiobook/white noise etc) and just try to focus on the sound not the situation (tho I know others who meditate like this so...). I don't slept but I find it a good imitator cause I have a focus for one of my senses but the others can 'switch off' if you like, but am still awake (if that makes sense?)

Gets me through steroid/med insomnia (and also when I'm too tired to sleep if you understand) and how I managed 4 days on the trot with a total of about 10 hrs sleep (though it did freak out the nurses who would come in and assume I was asleep til they turned around and I was sat up wide awake 😂). I did completely crash the day I got home (like 10-12 hrs with only a few v short awakenings) now my bodies back to keeping me awake cause of meds/symptoms I think 😒. Always nice when a nurse is positive tho 😅.

Thinking of you, and hope things start to go your way soon x

Hope you get some sleep. In what world does anyone put someone with severe asthma on a ward where there is flu to begin with. I would have been hysterical.

I guess you will have to be on the ball so to speak, as I guess no one in surgical will have a clue about asthma meds and dosing etc.

thinking of you. Hope things get better soon
