The Not Happy Thread

I finally cashed in my prescription that I got from my Consultant at CAMHS, and was only given a week's worth of sleeping tablets, not a month. Apparently I have to take it to my GP so they can sign off on them or something to give me more of them. WTF?

 

I'm very sorry for the loss of your cat. I know what it is like to have no choice but to assist them until their last breath. Sorry about your loss.

 

Thanks, @flawed personality. Unfortunately, I also have important family and work commitments here. If it was purely up to me, I would be over there already.

 

Oh, shit. Keep us posted on what happens, when you can? All the best to you AND your Dad.

 

Waiting to board a plane. It's bad.

 

I'm sorry, Mark.

 

Sorry to hear that.

 

*hugs*

 

I love dogs, but the owners of the house I'm currently sharing have two that bark incessantly, at everything. Noisy little yappy barks for a minimum of an hour every time:
The owners leave the house
Anyone walks past the house
There is any noise on the road outside the house (motorbikes usually)
They see something in the garden
No reason at all.

It's really driving me insane as I can do nothing about it, and the owners refuse to.

 

You totally have my sympathy. I've lived in a similar situation a few times in my life, and it's not fun..

 

Some thoughts and prays with you!

 

The other day, I got the gooified remains of a wastelander on my Advance Power Armor, took an hour to clean it up.. Still, can't beat a good ol'fashion plasma rifle.

 

Another friend and former coworker dead from a motorcycle accident. That's the second this year. Couple of others last year. I fear I'm starting to get numb to it. I dont want to lose more.

 

That sucks.

 

Went down on my streetbike thrice, a hit-and-run, a freeway lane-changer, and one that was my own damn fault. Three strikes, I'm out. Never ridden since. I still remember, thirty years later, the feeling of accepting 'this' as your last moment. Blessed be. I still miss riding, but just... no. My mother and my (then) wife were the reason I stopped. My son is the reason I still don't. I'm sorry you have to go through this.

 

Always wanted to ride, but because of family and my track record for freak accidents, I doubt I ever will. It's okay though. Thanks.

 

Leaving the UK tomorrow at 8, so it'll be an early morning and a full day of travels.

Also nervous over my new job which I start on Thursday.

 

Thanks, @jannert . The worst is the waiting. My dad's risky procedure has been delayed until this morning because he wasn't strong enough yesterday to handle it. To top it off, there's a doctor's strike on from today so I'm really hoping that won't impact on the quality of care he's getting. At least I got to see him yesterday. It's not fun seeing how frail he is now.

 

I was really scared for you when I saw you'd replied to this thread—before I read it. I'm glad that so far, so good. But yeah, I know. (Believe me, I know.) Waiting is horrible.

And doctor's strike? Shit. Mind you, they wouldn't attempt a risky procedure if there weren't enough hands on deck to do the job properly. I suspect that lifesaving operations are unaffected by strikes anyway. It would just be elective surgery, etc, that would be affected, wouldn't it? This feels a bit like 'perfect storm' though.

All the very best to you and your family for today.

 

It's spring, so every time I mosey out to my storage shed and look at the bike that's been sitting there for far too many years, I think that I should spend a few bucks and a little time and get it running again. I may be past the age where I can ride safely, but as long as I don't take anyone with me, it's as good a way to go as any. Far better to check out doing something you enjoy, than to expire in a hospital bed.

Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba....

I don't want to post spoilers but did anyone watch the latest episode of GoT?
I'm seriously not happy with that!

 

Thanks @jannert . The procedure itself went well. They were worried his heart might stop and he has a DNR (do not resuscitate) in place so that would have been it. Unfortunately, he then proceeded to rip off the dressings and pull at the lines in post op, meaning they had to go back in again to fix the damage he did. Now they've got someone actively watching him to prevent him doing it again. Hopefully, he'll settle down now.
