How are you doing? Are you resting? Pain? Brain power? And your birds, how are they doing?

sally @sallywatson.bsky.social · 17/01/2025

The ID appointment was rescheduled. I went on Monday. The Dr refused to wear a respirator. When asked if he was refusing to accommodate my immune status, he told me I was safe, standing there with a beard and a blue baggy. I left, which is what I had planned to do if he refused. Still shocked 😳.

hey Julie, I've been thinking of you, everytime I see a plant, or a bird or a flower. My new very kitsch plant cushions remind me of you.

i feel like a splinter the system does not want, a foreign body, that's slowly being pushed out, so it can be discarded

sally @sallywatson.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

i have sent a message ahead, stating that i will only see a dr who wears a respirator, so who knows? but i'm sure i'll need consolation after that event ❤️‍🩹 thank you Julie

i'm so relieved you've come safely out the other side, and while you may not be "better enough", somethi ng is happening

sally @sallywatson.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

omg Julie, fantastic that you've done this

sally @sallywatson.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

just writing this little bit makes me want to cry, it is so profoundly traumatizing

sally @sallywatson.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

this denial has happened before: i was in hospital getting IV flucloxacillin when Haematology withdrew the drug without my consent and very much against my wishes, i returned to hospital days later with a CRP of 200 (sepsis territory)

sally @sallywatson.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

i spent the last 4 months of 2023 hobbling (hip pain) from hospital to GP trying to get treatment for bilateral cellulitis, the infection upregulated the pain from my hip joints - the hospital (haematology) refused to treat me and denied cellulitis

sally @sallywatson.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

thank god you wrote this and i read it, i was about to burst into tears because i could find my emergency supply of flucloxacillin and i can barely move (it's terrifying), but whew found it

Noor, than god you're here

120

sally @sallywatson.bsky.social · 15/11/2024

they just trample all over me with impunity, and i've been living in a kind of hiatus, with a load of dying plants - I can't walk pretty much, days where i can't get to the bathroom, much less feed myself, and the pain is bad

100

sally @sallywatson.bsky.social · 15/11/2024

there's heaps more, but i can n longer complain, because my complaints are not acknowledged (unlawful), and i have to have an additional person in the room, ostensibly a "chaperone", but no-one will tell me why - informed consent, which is required by the NZ Medical Council

sally @sallywatson.bsky.social · 15/11/2024

here's an eg i went to a pre admission planning session the dr said "sallly, i know you like people to wear masks, but i want to take mine off so you can see my face" things went downhill from there as the dr attempted to cajole me into ceding consent, i didn't, but i felt sullied and violated

sally @sallywatson.bsky.social · 15/11/2024

it's all going very badly, but thank you i need a hip replacement, but ... risk f infection despite countless letters, nott a finger has been lifted

As I slept overnight I see $100 has gone into the go fund me of Abdul Rahman and his mother @noorhassan.bsky.social - I know many Americans get paid on Fridays and many of you are getting paid for the 3rd time this month. Put some of that into this GoFundMe for a family of 7!

oh Julie, I'm sleeping too ... I have advanced Femoral Head Avascular Necrosis in both femoral heads, with at the last MRI, 3 subchondral fractures and 1 insufficiency fracture I am at odds with the Hospital for their ongoing substandard care and refusal to respond to my complaints.

“There is a prolonged communications blackout across the Gaza strip that started on Thursday night and has continued over the past 48 hours,” the UNRWA said on Saturday. “Once again, Gazans find themselves completely isolated – cut off from their loved ones and from the rest of the world.”

Julie, you're a gem 💎 I'm not better, and it all just gets worse and worse. How are you faring?

sally @sallywatson.bsky.social · 06/12/2023

I got distracted, first by Gaza, then by becoming ill with an infection, and then I was embarrassed, guilty, filled with remorse, and very sorry I let you down by not responding so I apologise, hope we can still be Bsky friends 🌿

sally @sallywatson.bsky.social · 06/12/2023

i was trying to think of some way to respond to your extraordinarily difficult project, i absolutely think that if your judgement, or your intuition says not ready, then go with that, trust it.
