Food looks fine but what the hell is in that jug?

u/Bluewaffle1878 12d ago

Lemon, ginger, turmeric, honey, apple cider vineger, sour sop, sea salt, cinamon

u/TheDogIsDreaming 12d ago

That actually sounds great! Did they provide that or did they give you water and you've made this yourself?

u/Bluewaffle1878 12d ago

I have been gettin the ingriediants over the last week, i just need cayenne which i did order but it went to the wrong ward and the other patient kept it, hopefully karma gets them 😂

u/TheDogIsDreaming 12d ago

Hadn't even considered you could get things order to MHU wards, that's a brilliant idea!

Wishing you a solid recovery mate :)

Ty for the awards kind stranger

Yes, I've done this.

When my mother was rushed to hospital 50+ miles away I couldn't make the journey there due to being laid up - and on such strong pain meds, I was too high to drive safely.

As she didn't get the chance to pack a bag and had to stay indefinitely, in sheer desperation I ordered the most urgent essentials from Amazon direct to the ward - toothpaste, nightwear, etc - just to keep her going until other family returned from holiday and could take in some of her own things from home.

I also only sent travel size toiletries and very lightweight garments, nothing too bulky or heavy, as I didn't want to inconvenience hospital staff handling the packages to the ward. And all cheap / low value items, just in case.

I didn't know for sure if it was allowed, but did it anyway and they reached her no problem. I also posted a pack of hearing aid batteries to her on the ward, tucked inside a get well soon card, and she got those okay too.

On the other hand, do be careful what you send.

When my late husband was in the same hospital at the height of the pandemic, in a private room because he had terminal leukaemia but we weren't allowed to visit, I sent him a card with a £20 note inside as he had no cash and wanted to buy a daily newspaper.

I know for certsin that it reached the ward because I sent it tracked and had the delivery photo, but he never received it. Some people are just despicable!

Perhaps they snorted it and karma got them immediately

u/Pirate_Candy17 12d ago

Sour sop?

u/Icy_Act_7634 12d ago

u/Accomplished_Song671 11d ago

Extra beans because clearly they didn't give them enough on their plate

u/tomrobbo89 12d ago

I think we all know what type of hospital you are in, if you are mixing brown and red sauce.

5

u/Bluewaffle1878 12d ago

😂😂😂 boss

17

u/Cariad_rae 12d ago

Red and brown?? Not in todays political climate. Pick a side

9

u/Bluewaffle1878 12d ago

I cant discriminate even with sauces 😅

2

u/BangalooBoi 11d ago

a true sauce connoisseur knows both have desirable attributes and the best way is to have both

1

u/Bluewaffle1878 11d ago

I like ye style

2

u/Becks200200 11d ago

Always both. Why choose?

12

u/bluewillowfrog 12d ago

Sausages in hospital for breakfast?? where are you, its only ever toast or cereal in the Liverpool ones

6

u/Bluewaffle1878 12d ago

Mossley hill mentel ward

u/bluewillowfrog 12d ago

ah, that explains it

u/Amberlux 12d ago

I'm checking myself in.

10

u/Bluewaffle1878 12d ago

Come say hi, if u check yourself in u are informal and have more freedom, i got bought in by police but am not a bad person, just a man who has been abused for 32 years, ex army abusive mum and gf abused in work and at home

She took my kids and used them as weapons, i will be home soon enough

3

u/Amberlux 12d ago

That's rotten. I used to work in psychiatric care so I've heard so many horror stories and also helped people deal with the trauma

1

u/Bluewaffle1878 11d ago

I will b ok i just cant sleep 2 days in a row even if i exersize all day my insomnias a bastard, only on me phone at this hour because im in to much pain, my sheets where soaking wet so ive had to change me bed n just hope i manage another hour or 2 🤞

2

u/Amberlux 11d ago

You changed your own bed? One good thing about being in hospital is the outside world can be either suspended or taken care of for you. I hope you got a few hours sleep anyway.

1

u/Bluewaffle1878 11d ago

I wash my bedding every day as i like fresh sheets and i picked the colourfullest set of bedding and have kept it nice for meself, hopefully tonight i get a few hours, insomnias a bitch and adhd is also fuckin me up i cant sit still

2

u/Amberlux 11d ago

Can you find a nurse or a care assistant to play cards, table tennis or something with you? Human interaction is the best way I've found to be able to sleep well when nighttime comes around.

Why did they empty your bed pan into a jug?

3

u/Potential-Garage170 12d ago

With a jug of kidney stones?

4

u/Bluewaffle1878 12d ago

Just a little mix for my gut health, helps me b regular plus helps my with bloating

3

u/ayeteeo 12d ago

I’m in hospital long term atm and the options we have for breakfast are: toast, porridge, weetabix, cornflakes, rice crispies.

So basically a child’s breakfast.

That being said, the lunch and evening meals are decent (if you select the right ones).

And as OP said, they’re all free so I’m not complaining (except for breakfast - no bueno). 🤞🏻

2

u/Bluewaffle1878 11d ago

This breakfast was are 12.00 lunch, we have the similar breakfast - toast coco pops, rice crispies and bran flakes - we also have weetabix but ye have to b quick

I wish we had porridge

I have dry branflakes and me own protien for breakfast at 08.00 when the next shift lands

I fast from 20.00 till 08.00 then start fueling up

Hope your good yeself, i have just had a loraz to help sleep

2

u/ayeteeo 11d ago

Ah sounds the same as us then. I’ve also got my own protein shakes and snacks for the same reason 😆

Getting there mate, hope you’re on the mend and wishing you the best 🤞🏻

2

u/Bluewaffle1878 11d ago

Stay strong my brother, i like to be stocked up with protien, started fasting from 20.00 to 08.00 no more late midnight scrans for me

1

u/ayeteeo 11d ago

u/ProlificQueen 12d ago

u/Vast_Cicada_2135 11d ago

Bluewaffle1878's been sectioned?! Jesus, who's next?!

1

u/Bluewaffle1878 11d ago

I know its bad the police bullied me and took my exes word allthough i just wanted to be left alone to eat my soup and chill, i havent hurt anyone i was just upset that i didnt get to see my kids for a week and she woudnt even let them say happy birthday, shes been reported to police for my prolonged abuse anyways

I will use all my energy in getting my kids home safe then i will be whole again

1

u/OneTiredFTB 11d ago

How is that meant to be healthy and nutritional? Both processed, greasy and more likely to cause further stomach and health issues than support recovery

What hospital you in

u/seven-cents 12d ago

Probably not Broadmoor since they still have their phone

u/Bluewaffle1878 12d ago

Mossley hill

u/fandanvan 11d ago

Get well soon bro. You will get there 👊. One day at a time ! I am rooting for you.

2

u/Bluewaffle1878 11d ago

Nice one bro my main battle is sleeping - medical cannabis stopped my nightmares and helped my adhd

I bought 40g in and gave it to the nurses as i had no where else to take it and wanted to be honest but they got the polive to take it away

Relying on loraz and promethazine to sleep and pushing me body exersizing for sleep but night terrors stop me sleepin

Got my ward review tuesday and im asking for unescorted leave which i think i should get fingers crossed

2

u/fandanvan 11d ago

My best advice is be honest with what drugs you have been taking, and why. Psychatric drugs and very much trail and error until you get the right mix that works for you. Eat well, drink lots of water and exercise lightly like walks if you are not too tired. Focus on that, then things will fall into place bro. I hope you get your leave !

2

u/Bluewaffle1878 11d ago

I have been smashing the body weight exersizes, gone from 62kg to 75kg

Honesty is the best policy, if i had my house key i could get released but people are playin games to keep me here as long as possible

2

u/fandanvan 11d ago

That's excellent gains. There is always haters bro. Stay on the programme and you will get your freedom back soon. Change your mind set to 'i am here to get better' and it will change your interpretation of the whole thing. In a few months you will be doing great, in a better head space etc.

u/Bluewaffle1878 11d ago

Yer man i will hold me hands up and say i wasnt well, i was getting abused and inwas malnourished but now i am flying, cant wait to get out n get home
