thanks @Faith-and-Hope
No I have only a book. I'm not sure I could knit. But I will get hubby to bring in some pencils with my colouring book.

Hi @BlueBay
That's rough - but necessary - I know - and not at all pleasant
Whether it might be COVID or some other enteric bug they need to protect everyone from that - it's rough on you - I know - and I would hate it too - but who wants to pass such a problem onto other people esp in hospital?
Confusing though - I think you were constipated last week and surely you had something to move it along and bingo - it worked - I get that - what the hell! But here you are
Last week I ate something sus and spat out the second mouthful and thought - "If that upsets my stomach at least I will know what it was" and threw the rest out - and I did get an upset stomach and cancelled my social visit - in good conscience I could not risk passing anything at all onto someone who works in Aged Care. I wouldn't do it. As horrible as it feels I know you are a decent person and when you think of it you will understand and put it behind you
Your mother again - you can't win with her - I know you are assimilating this into your life but it's a bitch. Maybe she suffers from foot-in-mouth disease and can't help herself - I am sure my mother regretted what she said some of the time but I know it hurts
You feel rotten - I know - when I was in hospital last I had very little of my own stuff - toothbrush, comb and a novel - and thank goodness - my phone - yes - I ran up my data playing games and it kept me going. Can you play games on your phone? It might help if you download a few and pass the time
I really care - I can hear you thinking - what's next? Life is no fun at all and imo gastic and intestine pains and that sort of thing is among the worst things
It's okay to feel rotten - just not okay being so isolated - I hear you

I am sorry @BlueBay . I’m in hospital too after surgery on my fractured wrist last night,
I am bracing myself to call my mother but I’m going home soon.
Hope you feel better 💙💙💙

Hi @BlueBay, that sounds really tough. I'm hearing the pain, frustration and invalidation it sounds like you've been experiencing. Please know it's ok to feel that struggle and it's ok to let it out with a cry. It's great to see you reaching out for support here on the Forums as well, and I'm wondering if there's anyone in the offline world you could talk to who might be a little more helpful?
