I took these photos for my Grandma, who I think is under the belief I'm in a 1950s style nut house. I wasn't aware of this, but my Mother and Grandma are both concerned about a few days I'll have without Mum's presence in Edinburgh and a week in Manchester when Mum will be traversing Italy. Mum brought it up in a meeting the two of us had with my doctor on Wednesday night; thankfully he was on my side and said that I'm an adult quite capable of roaming around Edinburgh as I desire, he just encouraged me to answer people's text messages to assure them all's well - that I'll do so long as they're not every 20 minutes!
A bed, not a trolley with straps to tie me down!
Some things I've made whilst here. I know the koala is very Australiana, but it's for my (other) Grandma and she'll love it.
Ensuite, you may notice the lack of shower curtain; some people don't like that, but I always leave them open, so I'm quite happy to go without.
The rest of the bathroom.
I was unable to take photos of the dining room or the two tea/coffee spaces due to not really being allowed to take photos in here and there's the possibility of capturing other patients.
So as you may guess from the photos, I'm
still in hospital and undergoing TMS, it has definitely worked a lot on my
mood, but my anxiety is troubling me every afternoon and evening as my meds are
wearing off. I take the next batch at 8pm. I don't know how often people come
in for maintenance and for how long. I think it's monthly and for a few days,
but it differs according to peoples' needs. I hope when I get back from the
trip I can relax for a week or so at home before having to come in here for a
top up, it may even be a full session since I will have gone eight weeks
without any. I'm going home on Thursday, bringing my days at home for the year
up to 21, it'll reach 33 if I make it to the trip without needing to come back.
Then 6 weeks away!
