Another update!

[lizzziep]

I’ve now spoken to the senior clinical nurse, she went through all my symptoms and concluded as I feel so much better this afternoon, and have kept the toast I had earlier down, plus the spleen pain wasn’t going up into my shoulder she said it’s most likely I have had a virus. Apparently this is rife in this area at the moment, goodness knows how/where I’ve picked it up from as I try not to mix much. She is going to phone me before she goes home and again in the morning, with instructions if I deteriorate to phone an ambulance.

So I feel a lot better for speaking to her, my fuzzy head has gone and I’ve had some soup!

I should have been going out for a meal tomorrow for my birthday but I’m putting off being a year older for another few days.

Thank you for everyone’s advice, concern and good wishes.

Eat little and often now and Fingers crossed your on the mend! Have a doggy cuddle with the furry medicine and put off being a year older

Thank you. Yes, I’m having toast again for tea 😟 at least I can keep it down now. I might decide not to have a birthday this year 😁

[Spanelmad in reply to lizzziep]

Are you able to.take replacement salts ? Might help with the fuzzy head feeling

[lizzziep in reply to Spanelmad]

Yes, I'll get my husband to pick some up tomorrow.

So glad you got the senior clinical nurse eventually and she sounds knowledgeable, thorough and caring. Glad also it doesn't seem to be your spleen but nasty enough. You mentioned in another post keeping an overnight bag to hand. I have one now. It's reassuring to know I would have the basics to hand as when you're very unwell it's difficult to remember things - don't forget a spare telephone charger! Happy birthday tomorrow and hope you can celebrate it properly soon.

[lizzziep in reply to DJK12]

Thank you. Good reminder about the charger!

[Hopetohelp]

glad you have got that sorted. What a difference it makes to talk to somebody who knows what they’re talking about and how much confidence it can give you! Happy birthday for tomorrow. glad all turned out well.

Good that you have spoken to the senior CNS - a virus can be anywhere at any time.... postpone the birthday celebs for a couple of days ... I'm sure all will be well very soon...Take care and Many Happy Returns! Sue

That's more positive news for you. Don't overdo it and take care of yourself as you recover.

Happy Birthday 🎈

Glad to hear you spoke to someone in a senior position and your mind has been put to rest. Hoping you can manage something more than toast and soup to celebrate your birthday.

Have a great day!

[lizzziep in reply to mhos61]

Thank you. I could stick a candle in the toast! Not the full amount that would require the fire brigade on standby!

pleased to hear your feeling better, hopefully a passing virus, happy birthday👍

[lizzziep in reply to ainslie]

Thank you ☺️

Happy Birthday! I hope you start feeling better. That pesky virus has made its way here as well.

[lizzziep in reply to Mtnlife]

Oh dear! 😞 I’m feeling a lot better than I was thank you. The trouble with these diseases is you never know when they’re going to go off at a tangent and cause something else or if it’s something a “normal “ person can get!

A friend brought me a piece of cake for my birthday but I really don’t fancy it - which is very unlike me! My husband thinks it needs eating sooner rather than later and has selflessly volunteered his services to do that!

Good job, Lizziep! Your instincts were right as expected and your peace of mind is returning having had the senior staff response. Best wishes your forward progress continues. This should be a happy birthday after all.
