In May, my son and his wife gave me a voucher for a posh restaurant in a nice little village not too far away. Unfortunately, the vertigo and chest infections got in the way of me booking up but I've now been free of vertigo for over three weeks and had no chest infection so yesterday we did the deed!
What a lovely lunch we had - a real treat! The sun was shining so we were able to leave the car in the car park after and take a short stroll up the high street. It was hard work and today I found out why - another chest infection has started! Oh well, back on the amoxicillin and prednisilone today but at least I can look back at the day I had my birthday lunch and say it was a lovely day.

Sounds like a perfect day Moy. How fortunate that you managed to enjoy it between infections. I take it the lovely Autumnal sunshine is still shining on the UK. Hope this infection passes quickly and you can get out on the sun again soon.
It's certainly shining in Sussex, Billiejean_2. Yes, it will be nice to get out again - not today, but maybe tomorrow when the pills have kicked in! xx Moy
I'm so glad that you had such a lovely day and that the 'orrible vertigo is staying away.❤️
Moy.How nice for you and hubby to enjoy a 'posh' lunch in nice settings,And also nice to know your Son and his wife gave you such a thoughtful present........................skis and not so posh cat x
Ah, your cat would have enjoyed the decor-lots of wooden fish around on the shelving! He/she would have fitted in just right!! Lol! And yes it was a really thoughtful present and much appreciated. xx Moy
Hi Moy hope you on mend soon infections are a nightmare aren't they just when we think may escape another one for a while they creep Back up on you its so tedious and dare I say it Bloody unfair. I'm pleased you got to have your Belated posh Birthday meal Before it kicked off again Take care love Margaret xxx
Thanks, Margaret. Taking it easy today, but not feeling bad. Spoke too soon about the vertigo as had another attack last night, but it only lasted a couple of hours and I slept for part of that. It meant I cancelled our planned trip out with the family today as I often get the vertigo two days in a row and so decided to let them go out on their own and not have to worry about me. Just as well with this chest, anyway.
Sorry to hear vertigo resurfaced nuisance on top of infection hope it goes soon .Not to Bad today But have been getting terrible shakes tried to mend a hole I made in kaftan which I bought in Egypt many moons ago it still has its vibrant colours and is ideal for hospital use and when I have dreaded sweats But think I made bit of a hash of it hands where shaking that much .Waiting for nurse unsure what time to expect her I do hope I get Lorazapam tomorrow Doctor has put them on prescription for me after intervention from hospice last Tuesday But as yet reads status undefined on line prescription hope this is resolved soon .Breathe easy group of to Lytham tomorrow for 5 days was invited would have Done Frank good to have some social life on a evening But it may have Been to much just at momment take care xxxMargaret
You sound a bit brighter today. Good you have had a go at mending the kaftan even if you're not so happy with the result. Am sure it will be fine! Glad the doc has put the meds on your prescription - just hope you get them now. Lytham might have been nice but, as you say, may be just too much just now. Next time perhaps. Take care. xx Moy
