dear all
Thought you might like this from Nikola:
Hello All
Well I’m back in the asylum! As I know Tracey has told you, my consultant was unhappy that one of the other doctors had allowed me to leave the hospital last weekend and has made it clear that I’m not allowed to even leave the Ward until these babies are born!!!
Today when the postman was coming in through the door, I sneaked out!! It is kept locked and you have to buzz to be let in/out so I had to wait until someone was coming in to get out! Hee hee. I only went and sat outside on the bench and made a few phone calls. I sneaked back in and one of the student midwives saw me and I asked if anyone had noticed I’d gone out and she said only her and she had been watching me out of the window to make sure I was ok…….. She didn’t tell anyone. Bless.
This gives you some idea of what it is like in here! Even when I had sneaked outside someone was watching me…….OMG!!!!
I had a bad day Monday when I found out I was going to be kept prisoner, but I’m ok again now. I’m disappointed but I know it’s for the best and so I’ll just have to grin and bear it!
My mother-in-law has sent me some knitting needles and wool and I’m going to learn how to knit…..who would have thought it!! I’ve gone from business woman of the year to mum-to-be who sits and knits….as if!!! Tracey is keeping the wheels of business running and keeping me up to date on what you are all up to – she is wonderful!!!!!!
Now, what is all this I hear Jackie T – no pre-eclamsia but determined to have some sort of drama to report, you may now have diabetes???? Is this some pathetic attempt to try and outdo me on the drama front – are you trying to compete for sympathy with me??
Traci – thank you for my lovely poem (you do make me laugh!!) I can’t wait to see what the postman has to deliver for me…..how exciting!!! You are kind. Tracey told me your fab news – fingers crossed honey! It would really make my day if you could post some much deserved ++++ve news! You have earned your place on ‘this side’ of the site!!!
Any news from Di? She must have had her c-s by now……..hope everything went ok!
Wibbs – I had my fundus measured today and I’m 38cm!!!!!! I’m not sure if this is the babies or perhaps the amount of stodge and custard I’m ‘forced’ to eat every day!! Hee hee. I’m in a little local hospital called Airedale General Hospital in West Yorkshire – I’d rather be here than at LGI in Leeds which is much bigger and would be awful. At least I now know everyone (and boy do they all know me….!!) I like the idea of a set Nikola Free Campaign! Although I don’t think it would do any good…..
Wibbs, have you heard from Val? If you email her say hi from me!
Hayley – twins???? This is fantastic news, I’m soooooo pleased for you!
Thank you everyone else for all your lovely messages – it really does help to get me through these awfully long and boring days! Dh brings them in each night and I read them when he has gone. Last night the midwives heard me laughing and wondered what I was doing……if only they knew!
Guess what else I’ve thought to do to pass the time……shopping from my bed! At first I thought I wouldn’t be able to order anything without access to the internet, but then I realised I can fill out a form and post it off – so I’m now surrounded by Blooming Marvellous/Jo-Jo brochures and I’m ordering away……hee hee. Dh won’t even know because I’ll have it all sent to the hospital. I’m so devious!!!!
Now, you lot be good. Keep me updated with all your nonsense!
I’m sending you all lots of hugs and love!
Nikola.xxx
Have a nice weekend
Love
Tracey
