Sorry for not being here for the last few days but Hospital beckoned.

I woke up on Sunday morning feeling so cold that I was shaking so violently it woke my wife who checked my temperature and called the ambulance.

They arrived eventually and gave me a couple of paracetamol to reduce the temp which worked because I was I bit more warm although speaking gibberish (more than normal) and they took me to the ambulance, hooked me up to the IV Fluids and off we went with the Blues and nana nana.

That is one thing about getting in by ambulance you do get seen quicker.

I had an X-Ray and diagnosed with the dreaded pneumonia (again). I went to ACU and after a few hours (or Days) I was sent up to the ward for general medicine.

I spent at least four days on that ward.

The strange thing is that as I was staying in longer the worse my cough has gotten, although I still cant bring anything up

Just thought I would let you all know why the sudden disappearance plus I missed easter sunday.

Very tired now so off to bed I go.

Take great care and kindest regards

Terry

here we go again

I hope you are on the mend now.

Cos you missed Easter here's a Happy Easter and an egg for you . Aww now I can't find the symbols on my phone.

Ahh well its the thought that counts so pretend you see an egg ... lol

Take care, I was admitted into hospital a couple if years back with a partially collapsed lung due to pneumonia. I had no cough or any other symptoms except the pain and difficulty breathing. You have my sympathy. Now that said get back to work and post your usual funnies :) I have missed them!

Seriously though, take care if yourself and get well soon. Big hugs xx
