So my brother came to stay in our garden last week , lots of distancing etc and it was lovely that he, after suffering severe mental health problems last year, felt well enough to do the 4 and a half hour drive.
Wd had a beautiful hot day in the garden and bbq . Next morning woke up and he had chest pain, looked like a heart attack ( hes 54 but my dad died of a sudden one at 62 , and 4 if my uncles.)
So I called the paramedics, hubby ran for the local defib until they arrived and he had a huge temperature. So worrying about covid etc !
Anyway long story short it's a septic gall bladder , iv antibiotics for 5 days in hospital and just got out yesterday . He had a good night and drove back to glasgow to get treated more there in a few weeks.
We were booked to come to a farmers fielding the middle of nowhere in our caravan, so again after rushing etc , we are here. Lots of plans for walking but ....I'm flaring ...who would have guessed.....doh!!!

Glad that your brother is better, hopefully you’ll recover from your flare quickly now you can de stress and gaze at the beautiful view. I hope that the rain stays away up there over the weekend.
Sorry to hear this and wishing your brother a speedy recovery and that you recover soon from your flare. Hope you have a restful time away and time to de stress. A lovely photo x
Gosh that must have scary. Good to know that he's on the way to recovery though. Hope that a peaceful time in a lovely place will help you to relax and your flare will subside quickly.
Hope all goes well with your brother & that your flare will subside so you can enjoy your break,( truly jealous of you for the caravan, we had to give up ours a while back, Miss it badly!) stress mixed with heat humidity is a horrible combination for people like us! All the very best. X
Only just see this E. The best laid plans eh? Really pleased your brother is on the mend but what a to do. Such a worry. Well, hopefully your flare will subside with the peace of the countryside. It looks beautiful, similar to a print bought my h for Christmas, North Pennines. Rest now, hope the weather keeps up so you can walk as far as you're able & breathe that country air. x
Oh goodness! Glad your brother is ok now but it’s not surprising you’re having a flare after all that. Hopefully it won’t be too long until you can get your caravan to that farmers field in the middle of nowhere - the middle of nowhere is the perfect place to be at the moment.
How awful for you all. I'm so glad your brother is on the mend and wish him a quick recovery. Not surprised by your flaring but hope the peace and tranquility work their magic.
Poor you...what a worrying time you’ve had of it. Thankfully your brother was with you, not home alone. Fortunately (Thanks to you and hubby) he was treated promptly and is now recovering...and hurrah...you are on a break in stunning peaceful countryside where you can put that horrid time behind you and concentrate on you! Lots of deep fresh air breaths, lots of doing nothing much, lots of quality time with your OH. Wishing you all the best, a very speedy end to that flare and a very happy break. Take care, Sue.
I’ve just gone through something similar with my dad he’s 60, it was his heart that was cause for concern but lots of complications & it turned out it was sepsis too from gold bladder.
He ended up having a heart attack, two weeks in hospital & we finally got him home, but still long way to go till he’s back to his normal self.
Oh no, they are not fun when they happen. I must admit mine tend to be hard and fast x but at stages regular when I've doing too much .... I never learn. But this time it was stress !
What a week! Glad your brother is well enough to go home. What a shock that was for all of you. No doubt the stress of it all has caused the flare. Hope it subsides soon.
