DAY 101 - 16th November, Saturday
Keri woke up this afternoon to find that after nearly a week on ten minute observation she's been put back to hourly which she's extremely grateful for! She's been pretty well behaved today but has struggled. The staff have put her observation level down due to the fact she's on so many different medications she's too tired to do anything, except this evening she's been struggling really badly.
Her mum and her mum's partner visited today and they had a few games of Jenga. Stupid game in my opinion. Taking out bricks from a tower and the one who knocks it over loses? I don't get it. Who comes up with this stuff? Keri seemed distracted anyway. Considering all her medication she was very still and steady handed! Bonus. Normally she's restless and shaky so I suppose her Jenga skills have improved too!
The staff even let her out into the car park for about 20 minutes to play with Amos. She spent a while throwing him his tennis ball and getting lots of kisses. The amount of stamina that dog has is unbelievable and he's only a little Jack Russell! Apparently if you throw his tennis ball he can carry on doing that for hours without stopping. It definitely tired Keri out! It's the most exercise she's had all week and her body feels drained in general anyway.
Once they left Keri had to lie down for a bit because she felt quite dizzy and tired. She almost fell asleep but ended up staring at the ceiling in a drug induced stupor. That went on for a while before she started chain smoking again. She spoke a lot to the staff and said she was struggling. She even asked them whether she had her escorted leave back but got told that she's not allowed any leave until tomorrow, as long as there's no self-harm incidents. She's not getting any leave tomorrow. She's taken all her medication early to try to sleep early which means she's going to wake up early in the morning. That's going to mean she's going to need stitches by tomorrow afternoon when the afternoon shift starts at 1.30pm. That means that she won't be allowed out. The staff think positive reinforcement is a good thing, but Keri's not getting any pleasure out of anything! So telling her that the staff will take her out to do something she 'enjoys' tomorrow if she doesn't self-harm isn't going to work!
Either way it's been quite quiet and again she's still getting along with Bitch really well! It's creeping me out. Keri's tolerance level is quite low so any slip of the tongue is going to land Keri in seclusion for Sally deciding to get physically violent. She's extremely restless.
