Bored

[UpOnDown]

I’ve been in hospital for eight days, and still on level 2 obs. Ie someone checking me every 15 minutes, day and night. I know it’s for safety because of the voices, but it’s still difficult. Not much to do here either, and the meds have me feeling sedated

Thanks it’s been ok, bit perturbed to be given an autism questionnaire

Have they hinted at that or mentioned it before?

Do you like reading?
Do you feel comfortable to ask staff for a board game or game of cards?

No they haven’t. I’m listening to audiobooks, which is good

That’s great, especially if you are feeling sedated. What are you listening too? I’ve not been able to get in to any audio books!
Ask about the questionnaire. It’s a bit odd that no one has sat down with you and gone through it (and that they’ve given it at all without discussion!).

Harry Potter mostly and some music. It is odd re the questionnaireq, won’t know til next week

I think that I’m the only person in the world not to have read Harry Potter!
What kind of music are you into?

Is next week ward round?

I like all sorts. Ward round is next week. How about you re music?

I love lots of music but really love Nirvana and Eric Clapton at the moment!
Hope your ward round goes well. It might be a good place to mention your boredom if you feel able to.

That makes two people who have never read Harry Potter.
Best wishes for ward round next week.

Thanks both. Going to ask if I can talk to the medics.

I hope the meds are starting to help and you’re feeling better.
Any cooking today?

No cooking, but smoothie making. Highly tempted to go to bed really early.

@cakeandchampagne yay! I’m not such a loser after all!
@UpOnDown hope you get to speak to a medic. Going to bed early if you are sedated and bored makes sense but do make sure staff know why you are in bed early.

Not yet maybe tomorrow. Lots of people sleep at odd times here.

Tell them you wrote down the smoothie and pancake recipes and you’re ready to go home.
I hope things went okay for you today.

Thanks
