I havent been feeling very well since I got out. A mixture of things I think. And my sleep has gone backwards again too. Something to do with not feeling safe I think. Thought I had got through all that, but it seems I was wrong. Medications can only do so much.
I see my oncologist this Thursday for another regular breast cancer check-up. Hopefully all okay. I don't have scans for another couple of months.
Speaking of scans, I am still waiting to get in for an MRI for my lumbar spine. Because I have had spinal surgery, I need to have an injection of GAD dye into the veins, which requires a doctor to be present. Still waiting.
It has been a beautiful autumn day here today. And I have shut myself up in the house and done nothing. What a waste.
And I am also finding myself slipping back into bad habits which saw me return to hospital last time. I see a psychologist this Saturday, someone that has been arranged for me through DVA. Maybe she can turn things around for me.
Im actually really annoyed and baffled with the MH unit. When I was discharged, you can only get some meds at the last minute, basically as you are walking out the door. I discovered when I got home that they had sent me home with a large amount of meds, that I neither wanted nor needed. I could have asked my GP for another script if or when I needed one when I ran out. But now I have this huge stash that I don't know what to do with. One of the reasons I ended up in the MH ward last time was because a helpline was concerned I had a supply of such meds and could take too many. And now I have an even bigger supply! Hmmm ... gotta wonder who's thinking there?
