UK Release Dates Discussion - All Brands Welcome!

I'm needle-phobic too so I can sympathise. Fingers crossed for you. Nice you got some visitors though, that always helps cheer you up when in hospital.
3 or 4 days? Eesh. Could you not ask someone to put a note on your door asking to hold all packages due to being in hospital unable to sign for them? Just a thought so they hopefully don't get sent back or anything.

Don't really want to advertise to potential burglars that there's nobody there, so I think I might have to think of some things my parents need to pick up for me from my house, so that they can pick up any 'while you were out' cards for me

My battery's really low now, so I'm going to have to ask if I can plug my netbook in and charge it up.

Still having to be wheeled to the loo, as they won't let me walk

That's awful to hear that you're unwell. Get well soon we are thinking of you! xx

Hah - yes. Sorry I hadn't even thought of that, silly me. I'm exhausted so excuse the lack of thinking. But hey - nice crafty plan there.

I'm surprised you're allowed it in the hospital tbh - I've never even been allowed my mobile in hospital (not that it's stopped me) but they wouldn't ever allow a laptop or netbook here.

Do they not have anything more they can tell you yet? I think that's one of the worst things about hospital - not having anything to do but not having any answers either. Plus, of course the fact you're now not even allowed to walk. Really do hope you get better soon.

At the moment they're suspecting heart damage or a clot on the lung I'll be having a CT scan later today

That's terrible - I hope the tests come out ok and you get well soon! x

I asked, and was told I could bring my lappy in. I have my mobile with me, but am only switching it on to text my parents, and I turned the volume right down on the ringtone, too. The lady in the bed opposite has her mobile on all the time, and keeps getting texts and calls, and her ringtone is really loud. They're moving her to a different ward tonight, yay!

Apparently they don't have the phones on trolleys now that they used to bring into the ward if you wanted to make a call.

All I know is that I'm going to be on blood thinning drugs (including aspirin) which I've had some of already, and they have now said they are going to give me Beta Blockers, too. As for when the scans will happen, who knows?

 

[rockin]

Rudely awoken by fire alarms at 2.30am. Sounded for half an hour before they finally switched it off, but the lady opposite me slept through it! Apparently someone burnt some microwave popcorn. Nurse made us all a cup of tea, though lol

Oh dear, lol. You sound quite chirpy though. How are you feeling?

Oh no! Sorry to hear you are in hospital... hope you manage to have your scans soon!

 

[anita22]

Thank you hun =)
Hmm...so many pretty things being released and not enough money! So far I've managed to figure out that I want 1, 2 or 3 items from all of these summer collections!:

- MAC Hey Sailor! 5/6 items!
- MAC Reel Sexy 1 Cremesheen Gloss
- Giorgio Armani 2 ETKI
- Chanel 1 Eyeliner
- Dior 3 items
- NARS 3 items
- YSL 2 palettes
- Paul and Joe 1 lipgloss....

...I need to cull some items methinks!

I love spring and summer collections!
I am also having trouble deciding what to buy. I keep changing my mind on what I want from NARS - I really like Ramatuelle eyeshadow trio, but I don't normally wear those colours so it's a bit of a risk if it will work for me or not.

The MAC Extra Dimension shadows finally arrived in Holland, so I bought 3 yesterday. I really hope MAC make this a permanent formula!

Oh dear - so sorry to hear you're ill - I hate hospitals, it reminds me of when I was in hospital and they woke me up at four o'clock to see how I was feeling Hope you feel better soon.

I'm hating the 10pm injections in the tummy, and the blood tests

Let's hope we don't have a repeat of the popcorn incident tonight

 

[rockin]

I'm hopefully going home this evening! Bad news is that I apparently have clots in both lungs. Good news is that they're only small ones. My heart is showing signs of having been under stress due to the lung problem, so I've to take it easy. I also have to have daily injections in my tummy for a while, and I'll be on Warfarin for about 6 months.

 

[Anitacska]

It's good that you're going home. Sorry to hear about the clots. Do you mind me asking what symptoms you've had? It's just that I get these palpitations and sharpish pains on my left, plus a constant dull pain as well both at the front and back. And of course now I'm panicing too. I also just found out that one of the mums in my son's class is going in for a mastectomy tomorrow as she has breast cancer. She's only about 32 and has a 5 year old and a 2 year old. So scary. No wonder I'm bl**dy depressed, hearing about all these scary news is not helping my peace of mind.

Anyway, hope you are going home and you can rest better in your own bed. *hugs*

I'm home

Symptoms, and the reason I went to the doctor, were mainly shortness of breath on exertion (walking) which had got much worse over the past couple of weeks, and I suddenly found myself unable to walk very far without lots of puffing and panting, and my chest (central, just above the boobs) felt tighter at those times, like I imagine asthma might be, and also my diaphragm area, just under the ribcage, got a tight feeling, almost like someone was pulling it inwards. I did get a dull pain through my back and front, roughly central ribcage at times, too. I couldn't even get up to answer the phone without getting out of breath. I was very aware of my heart beating at those times, too, and what I suppose you would call palpitations. Oh, and I got a stitch in my right shoulder and my right side by my waist, too.

If you think you could possibly have the same, do get checked out by your doctor. If you get clots in your lungs and they go untreated, it can be very serious.

 

[Anitacska]

Glad to hear you're home, and hope you feel better soon.

Luckily for me, your symptoms sound a lot worse than mine, I don't get out of breath much unless I'm hurrying, so I think I'm okay. I had a chest x-ray done last week, but I haven't seen my GP about it, and the 24 hour ECG was normal. I know some of my symptoms are also due to anxiety, so trying to get help for that too.

On the topic of make up, I've been going crazy with nail polish buying, I have bought so many lately. I don't even know where I'm going to put them all. Silly me. But I guess it's substituting make up as there haven't been anything new coming out since the beginning of the month, I've ony bought the EL powder and the Shiseido lipstick lately (well since Extra Dimension and Tres Cheek which was a big haul though, so it's not like I've been on a make up no buy, lol).

Good to hear they let you go home! I hate being in a hospital even if its just to visit someone :/

The 'Blush By 3' I won from Sleek finally arrived today. It was postmarked 12th April - what on earth have the Post Office been doing with it all this time?

It's the 'Lace' one, and the peachy colours are beautiful.

Presumably that's why the website was down the other day - not that I was trying to buy anything of course...
