The Challenges of Mental Health Wellbeing

[Sans911]

Thanks @Snowie. I know you are doing the absolute best you can do right now but please try to take care of that sweet, hurt person in you. I understand that you are just trying to wipe out the pain you are feeling, but you are hurting the one person who matters the most--YOU. No one matters matters more than you do right now (and beyond this point in time). Just try to think of the sad, hurt person inside of you, and how you might treat her if she was your best friend & you only wanted to make things better. She's deserves love. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Most of the staff including Drs, nurses, cleaners, food handlers have been very respect and nice to me. I've not told anyone I'm a nurse as I want to be treated as a patient, not as a nurse who is a patient. Hope that makes sense @outlander. I've been as independent as I usually am to give the nurses a break from caring for me. I refused some medication tonight which I thought might bring the wrath of the Dr on me, but I was pleasantly surprised that the nurse supported my decision & we agreed on a plan for going forward instead. I'm looking forward to the weekend in hospital as there's less staff around.

How much forward has your dental surgery come forward?

Im glad to hear most of the staff have been respectful nice supportive and caring sis. You deserve that ❤
Yes wanting to be treated as a patient rather than a nurse whose a patient does make sense. Hopefully youll be able to get abit better sleep over the weekend with less staff around.

Are you in a shared room or private?

Its been moved up more then a month. Only have 4 now rather than 11 So having to get things organised much quicker now.

Oh wow @outlander that's a lot. But better for you to get it over and done with. Your physical health has suffered so much so hopefully by that getting even a little better things might improve in your mental health. I know one of the nurses said to me that I looked really depressed on Wednesday. And I was because I felt like rubbish and wondered what I was putting myself through this for. I actually was impressed she noticed my mood. Dealing with physical health issues is mentally challenging as you well know. I'm in a single room atm as I've had to have the room heated to help with my circulation in my grafted tissues. If the circulation goes, the tissue loses oxygen and dies. I would have to go back for further surgery. I've had to have a heated blanket on top of me for 4 days but it's off now thank goodness. I'm very grateful to have a single room in a public hospital.

Yes its both good and bad. I just want it over and done with but also dont at the same time. @Sans911

The nurse sounds very observant and im glad she did notice. Its understandable you felt like rubbish and was questioning things. I would say thats pretty normal but I'm glad you pulled through that.
Wow a heated blanket along with heated room. Hopefully you werent too hot but sounds like they had things under control. Definently dont want the tissues to die! 😬
How long are you in hospital for? Id imagine recovery is slower so would need a little while there...

Its good you have your own room too.

[outlander]

Ill be back when i can theres a firw on a nerby property. Going to help them get thir horses out

[Sans911]

The heated blanket was set at 43 degrees right near my face @outlander! I was roasting! I've been told I might be home by Monday but nothing is official yet. How I go over the weekend will determine when I can go home.

Hearing you on the wanting it done but not done front. I think that's how I have felt about all the surgeries I've had, but especially this one. It's been quite daunting.

[outlander]

Sorry @Sans911 hopefully im not keeping you up..

[outlander]

That is way to hot for me. No wonder you were cooking!
Hopefully youll be well enough to go home but not to much of a rush. Need you to be well first 💜

Yeah its very daunting and now very stressful too @Sans911 

[Sans911]

Definitely not lil Sis @outlander. I asked the nurse for a Milo tonight but had to wait until after shift change. I'm enjoying it very much. I actually thought you had gone to sleep. 😴

[outlander]

No i wrote a quick post about 40 min ago. Was helping evacuate horses from a fire. They are safe now and the fireys have it under control. The actual owners are still there watching so have come  home. I can watch from my house. If it gets  worse il go see if they need a hand again. 

Sorry  thats the 2nd post i forgot  to tag you in 😖 @Sans911  bit scattered
