Tbh nurse said she was starting my feed soon, and that was over an hour ago. But don't want to sleep and be woken again.

Point taken, you may as well wait. You could sleep but not get off again after. I don't sleep well in hospital, usually watching films to late into the night....

I'm pretty much the same, I just watch some youtube till i'm due my very latest painkiller and then try sleep as long as possible. Normally its 4 hours then I wake up in agony again, but nurses and doctors are smart and learnt this so they have a painkiller timed at 5:30am.
I'm in high hopes today thanks, I managed some lunch (Half small bowl of soup, and abit of mash potato with gravy) and kept it down, I did get really painful stomach ache afterwards for a few hours. but i'm going to keep having something now and slowly get my body used to food again. I just want to get well and go home, i'm starting to get overloaded now and I think thats why I had that anxiety attack yesterday.

Good they have sorted the painkillers as you need sleep for recovery. Good you have high hopes that you are in the mend too! Keep at it and hopefully not there much longer. It can get to you in hospital after a while but with me and my condition I was glad to be there. Food's good at my hospital, they had a well known chef turn up and he did the recipes for the meals. There is not one I don"t like, get well looked after. I tell them I'm coming back for a week of TLC....Try and stay calm mate, watch a film or something, the time will pass!

Thanks Trevor, I actually don't mind the food either and rather enjoy it. Its far improved when I was younger staying in hospital, food back then was ๐คข. They use a seperate company for meals and usually come round with an ipad/tablet day before and take your order, so far i've not disliked anything.
The nurse has just put my feed on, it now runs for 10 hours and I've got some IV Paracetamol going, so when this is done i'll be off to try sleep. Thanks again for asking how I was doing, i'll catch you tomorrow.
Night.

Hope you had a good night.

As I said previously, I currently have an issue with one of my legs and lying on my bed, so like you I may sleep during the day for a few hours then do something on my tablet (this forum etc) then have another doze. That's why I could be on here in the middle of the night.
Hope you are feeling better!

ahh I see, I'm sorry to hear that, that sounds uncomfortable. I'm feeling abit better each day now so finally making progress. Doctor and Dietician are pleased, they say if I handle and tolerate food I can get the NG removed Monday, and if my pain keeps improving they will look at possibly getting me home sometime next week.
I've also managed to walk abit and get some fresh air, it causes me alot of pain and I can only walk slow, but its start and trying to do abit each day now to build myself up. I do need painkillers still when back, but atleast i'm not collapsing or getting stuck downstairs.
Abit of progress each day now, and finally moving in the right direction.
I hope your leg eases abit so you manage to get some rest, nothing worst than being in pain but being tired and wanting to sleep.
Take care.

Thanks Rubin. Great you are on the mend, keep it up! If you have lost some unwanted weight, don't put it back on, you'll be better of without it! I know you said you had lost weight.
The leg pain is going, like your stomach is improving so is my leg!

I was rather chunky last month, now i'm quite slim and apart from being ill its one good thing to take away from this experience.
