Anxious about cancelled nurse appointment. Maybe paranoid as well. Not sure

I was due to have my nurse visit me on Monday at my house.

However on Saturday night I came down with a bad sickness bug. Terrible bowel trouble.

Anyway I figured it might be norovirus (the diarrhoea and vomiting bug). I didn’t want my nurse to catch it so I decided to cancel our appointment.

I left a message on the nurses office answer machine on Sunday. I also phoned up the weekend crisis team and asked them to pass the message on.

Thing is I haven’t heard from my nurse since. Have left 2 messages for her to phone me back but no reply.

I am worried I am being ghosted or have been kicked off the nurses list.

I am really worried

They’re probably just busy.

Yeah don’t worry @anon94176359, she’s probably busy.

Phoned the nurses office and spoke to someone else. She says I won’t have been released off the list and that everything is just grand.

But I think they are lying to me.

Rest assured they’re telling you the truth.

If its any consolation - i can leave a message sometimes, and they wont get back to me till after a few days, if they deem it as non-urgent. Alot of the mental health clinics are short staffed these days.

Im sure your nurse is fine with you.
Maybe next time you see her - express your concerns. Im sure they dont want you worrying.
