quick update

well my dreams of being discharged today been kicked out the ball park , last night my 20 levels crashed again and my BP went crazy and went in the opposite direction and crashed . The doctor said I was stressed out and that needed to be addressed before I could leave . So still here let's see what tomorrow brings .. a sad little Davey today 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

[sassy59]

Thinking of you Dave but best you don’t go home until more stable or you’ll be back in there again. Chin up and try and stay positive. Today or maybe tomorrow. You’re being looked after. Xxxx🤞🏼🥰🤗xxxx

[Hidden in reply to sassy59]

Half the problem is being in here all I'm hearing is the Greek language and may be talking clingon

[sassy59 in reply to Hidden]

They probably are Dave. 😂 Feel better soon. Xx

[Hidden in reply to sassy59]

Nothing would suprise me 😂😂😂

[Pipswhips in reply to Hidden]

All you have you have to say is beam me up scotty and see what happens

[CDPO16]

Best to stay put Dave rather than go home only to be readmitted again. Language aside, you seem to be in good hands.

[Wonderboy6]

Awe, a real bummer for you. You sure don't need this. Take care, daveyboy.

[helenlw7]

Oh Davey, I do feel for you, and I’m sure you’ve been told you’re in the best place. Try and relax, and enjoy having your meals brought to you - and no washing up!

[Suzie42]

Sorry to hear that Dave, I think you must have been yearning for your JD causing your stress levels to rise. Just sit back and think of all those peaceful wonderful sunsets you see and you'll back back out and home as soon as.......easier said than done I know. 🤞🌠

[leo60]

Sorry Daveyboy. What a pain in the a**e being ill is. In my recent stay they told me practically every day that I would go home tomorrow! You will be back before you know it and meanwhile .......... think of all the time you have to pester us 😂😂 you could write us your life story 😱😱 ! Anyway let them look after you until your stress levels go down 😘 xx

[Hidden in reply to leo60]

Their causing half the stress 🤣🤣🤣

[Damon1864 Volunteer]

Sorry to hear you can't go home today but hopefully you can get home tomorrow. Have a good and take care 😊 Bernadette and Jack 🐕 xxxxxx 🌻🌻

[Hidden in reply to Wonderboy6]

Oooooooh yes real food again and obviously my evening tipple which is allowed but been told only one 👍🏼👍🏼😁

[Wonderboy6 in reply to Hidden]

One bottle, is that what you meant. Lol good luck to you mate.

[Wonderboy6 in reply to Wonderboy6]

I would give anything to be able to have a lce cold 🥶 beer 🍺 can't even have one boohoo.

[Hidden in reply to Wonderboy6]

Don't worry buddy I can always describe in great detail the taste etc just tell me when you fancy one I'll oblige 😂😂😂

[Wonderboy6 in reply to Hidden]

Nah thanks, have one, will want another ten

[Hidden in reply to Wonderboy6]

I'm sure I could accommodate your thirst buddy but please stop at ten 😂😂😂

[Wonderboy6 in reply to Hidden]

Haha, nice one, not going down that road again am cronic alcoholic, not touched it since Xmas 98,think I have been an angel. Lol,but a sober one. Haha.

[Hidden in reply to Wonderboy6]

Good man 👍🏼 I hadn't had a drink in sixteen years after years of Guinness and Bushmills 😂 but I have a glass of JD to focus and de-stress but find that not best idea with stress 😬

[Wonderboy6 in reply to Hidden]

All booze is a depressant especially gin. Shame, gin and angostura bitters are beautiful on a sunny day 😎

[Hidden in reply to Wonderboy6]

So is Bushmills no ice just straight but I'm kinda bias 😂😂😂😂 I go for second best JD honey with a couple of ice cubes .

[Hidden in reply to Wonderboy6]

Didn't say one glass or one bottle though 😂😂

[Alberta56]

What a heavy bummer. I hope it doesn't take too long to get you stable. xxx

[Hidden in reply to Alberta56]

Things going in right direction just keep stress down 👍🏼👍🏼

[SORRELHIPPO]

I may be teaching granny to suck eggs, but I can lower my BP/stress with frequent meditation, also when I am in hospital, it does help me to "tune out" on what Is going on around me. Hope you are out soon.

[Hidden in reply to SORRELHIPPO]

I struggle to stay focused on anything for more than five minutes. Music usually helps me but certain music. .

[Solily]

Please try to relax !! You will be back home soon enjoying your beautiful sunsets. I will be thinking of you and sending positive vibes your way.

[Hidden in reply to Solily]

Thank you I'm going to need them 🤞🤞🤞🤞

[johnderby]

Hard luck Davey. I know its really difficult when they tell you that you can go home and then the plans change because of your health. Keep strong matey. John

[Hidden in reply to johnderby]

Cheers , just waiting for my discharge papers to get signed and I'm out of here 😁👍🏼

[garshe]

Wishing you a speedy recovery Dave. You are in the best place. Sending Welsh cwtches xxSheila 💕👍

[Hidden in reply to garshe]

So sorry to hear that, Dave. Hoping you will stabilise again very soon and be able to go home.

[Hidden in reply to Ergendl]

Got cleared to leave so just awaiting discharge papers and taxi 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😁😁😁

[Biofreak]

Do yourself a playlist of your favourite music on your phone. Have you got some headphones with you, perhaps not or you would probably tuning all the talking out 😄. Reading helps me relax. Trouble is I read about a chapter then can't keep my eyes open 💤. Hope you're discharged as soon as possible.

[Hidden in reply to Biofreak]

I'm going home in two hours. Got the all clear just waiting for my discharge papers and then a taxi home 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[Biofreak in reply to Hidden]

Great Davey. I know I don't have to tell you to take it easy 😄

Forgone conclusion really but still have two birthday cakes to make .

[Hidden in reply to Biofreak]

I'm escaping but I've got over a thousand songs on my phone just didn't have my headphones 🤣🤣

[Loopylorre]

Oh dear! Hope your better soon & can be discharged, hopefully they’ll sort you out soon & you’ll be home again, take care 😊👍🏻

[Hidden in reply to Loopylorre]

Be home today and I'm a happy chicken

[Pipswhips]

Sorry about your bad news but i find that hospitals do stress you out anyhow. I never had swollen ankles until i was in hospital and i wa delayed going home because they wanted me to see the cardiologist i told thetes nothing wrong with my heart last check i had at gp surgery the said i had about a 3% chance of having a heart attack. The swollen ankles is because ive pumped with load of fluid not as mobile as i am at home it just gone down to my ankles but soon as i got home and got more mobile it vanished.

[Hidden in reply to Pipswhips]

Home is always the best place to recoupe

[Otto11]

Glad they are letting you home it’s not a lot of fun being in hospital but unfortunately nessesary at times 🙁Take care & try to relax once home x

[Hidden in reply to Otto11]

Definitely going to get a decent meal

[Otto11 in reply to Hidden]

Definitely! I was in hospital in Cyprus a few years ago & the food was 🤔 can’t think of a word for it

Breakfast! The only drink of the whole day!

[Otto11 in reply to Hidden]

Grim is a good word! I kept calling hubby to bring me a Costa coffee & a muffin. Oh & fruit.

And lunch!

[Hidden in reply to Otto11]

I was eating nothing but lentil soup and a rusk . The coffee tasted like old socks and powdery . Back home now so decent food and drink 🙂🙂

[Hidden in reply to Otto11]

Glad someone as experienced what I have been subjected to 😂😂😂😂

[Otto11 in reply to Hidden]

Definitely an experience!!

[Hidden in reply to Otto11]

Something not wanting to repeat . Brilliant doctors but you wouldn't want the food just eat the box it comes in 😂😂 mind you the lentil soup was fantastic but yet again not every day 😂😂

[Hidden]

Oh Daveyboy. As has been said, you are being well looked after, they just want to be sure you will be fully recovered before you return home. Shouldn’t be too long now. All the best.😀

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I've just got home. Had to wait longer for the taxi as it's a public holiday here for the festival of Santa Maria

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Glad you’re finally home. Look after yourself now. 😀

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I'll certainly try 👍🏼👍🏼

[Walkwalkwalk]

Well Davey being home will have a lot of positives for you but please be careful not to overdo it. Remember that there are people around that have already offered help. All your friends here are happy for you and that you are so much better.

Take care. Enjoy the sunset.

Grace

[Hidden in reply to Walkwalkwalk]

I will do I'm going to have a good meal and sit outside for some fresh air

[Izb1]

So glad to hear you are home Dave and enjoying the freedom that brings, although there is nothing like your own bed. I am sure you have enjoyed a good coffee at your local, take it easy now and rest up a little x

[Hidden in reply to Izb1]

I'm not moving anywhere at moment I'm settling in with a coffee and a roll 🙂😂

[dunnellon]

Glad to hear you're home! Enjoy the fresh air and fresh coffee! Not the 'stinky old socks' kind!😂

[Hidden in reply to dunnellon]

I've already had three mugs of coffee from my perculator some nice Jacobs caramel. And got a lamb stew out of the freezer that I made a few weeks ago. Had a good siesta on my bed and just watching a little Jurassic park dominion 😁😁😁

[Thepainterswife in reply to Hidden]

That sounds so good ! This is why we have the bad times so the good times seem more amazing 😃

[Hidden in reply to Thepainterswife]

Well after what I had explained today before discharge I'm better off at home to digest it looks like lots worse to come in a few months. But I'm ok with it

[Thepainterswife in reply to Hidden]

Our Gp came to visit last week not requested by us but by a district nurse who had called the previous day . We were surprised to see him and quite shocked when he proceeded to tell us how sick my husband is and basically that he hasn’t long left , symptoms will get worse etc etc He completed a DNR form and asked did Geoff want to spend his last days at home or in hospital? When the doc left Geoff got up , washed up and has been more active than usual ever since - no way is he going without a fight 😂 Stay positive and keep going 👍

[Hidden in reply to Thepainterswife]

I know where you are coming from doctors here are extremely direct which I like ! Ok the way they word things are little to be desired but that's a language barrier issue . I'm. Ready for what to expect coming but there's certain things I seriously need to do but these are the problem to solve then I can move forward. My thoughts are with your husband and yourself may all our journeys be peaceful. 🙏🙏

[Greenthorn in reply to Thepainterswife]

Santa Maria, well done Geoff. Do not go kindly into that good night but wash the dishes till they're bright.

[Hidden in reply to Greenthorn]

😹😹😹

[Thepainterswife in reply to Greenthorn]

Brilliant Greenthorn 😂🤣 Geoff loves it . Whenever my daughter rings to get an update on her dad she asks “ is he still washing up ?” It’s our technical assessment of his condition - if he feels well enough to wash up he knows he’s fine and completely ignores all other opinions 😂

[dunnellon]

Sounds comfy for sure! Enjoy your homecoming, Davey! Wishing you sweet dreams tonight in your own bed and without all the fussing that goes on in hospitals during the night. I had one nurse last time I was there, called her the vampire, woke me up every night around 3am to take a couple vials of blood. WTH!

[Hidden in reply to dunnellon]

I know that one it's like they go out the door and drink it 😂😂 for me it was the 24hour god channel and not hearing English voices mind you not having a view didn't help either . So tonight mosquitos or not I'm sleeping outside under my stars . 👍🏼👍🏼

[dunnellon]

👍

[corriena]

Oh dear try and relax i hope you are home very soon

[Hidden in reply to corriena]

I'm home sat outside under my stars where I belong 👍🏼

[corriena in reply to Hidden]

Happy news good to hear 🌠😊
