    That is some itinerary..... can't be helped and hopefully you are improving Rubin! Turn your heater up and cat nap in the afternoon with a "Do Not Disturb" notice on your room door..😋

    Haha I think you might be right! Probably having a well-deserved cat nap 😄 I’m sure Rubin will pop back on soon with an update 🙂

    Sorry I had a really weird and scary moment, like I was perfectly fine one min and next I felt really weak and spacey, my whole body was shaking and kept having chest pain and felt tired. Nurses checked blood pressure and heart rate and were elevated and they did an ECG which I don't know result of as its still with doctors. After that I fell asleep for 2 hours.

    I don't have a clue what that was, was it an anxiety attack or random panic attack I don't know, but I feel okay again now.

    Thanks for your messages.

    That must have been a horrible experience. I’m glad the nurses checked you over and that you’re feeling okay again now. Try not to worry until you get the ECG results — it could have been a one-off or anxiety-related. Just rest and look after yourself.

    Yeah the night staff nurse (as they switched staff when I was asleep) said it was most likely an anxiety attack as i'm fine again. I doubt it was anything serious as i'm sure doctors would tell me something by now. I'll just mention it tomorrow at ward round with consultant but not had one like that for years if it was. maybe all the stress of everything lately? Thanks for checking in though appreciated.

    Thank you very much @rubin16

    I feel like i really need that at the moment

    Going back to being emotional again

    Sorry

    Don't ever be sorry for being emotional, you're bound to be after what you've gone through. Crying is a good release, and we all need to cry sometimes just to let out all the built up stress and trauma, never feel ashamed about that.

    If I could stop all the hurt in the world I would in an instant, but i'll be there always for those that are hurting.

    Take care of yourself.

    I thought anxiety, lack of nourishment and not being well Rubin, you've had a dizzy or light headed spell. You can get chest pain with anxiety too. Though you were checked out and if something was wrong you would have been told by now. The ECG was a good thing, your heart may have thrown a few harmless wobbly beats as you are not well… I get palpitations and they don't bother me either.

    Yeah that would make alot of sense, i'm also being forced to be social, being touched continually etc so could be part sensory overload. It was just scary as literally came from no where. but i'm not worried now, if it was anything serious i'm sure i'd hear / see them do something.

    Thanks.

    Great news guys, I really wanted to try abit of food this morning so nurse suggested half a small bowl of Rice Crispys with a tiny bit of milk and so far i've kept it down, my pain is slightly improving too. Just spoke with doctors they said if I manage to slowly start eating again they can remove the NG tube on Monday, and if things are better from then perhaps look at going home later next week. I can't wait to go home.
