How are things in your worlds today? The weather appears to have turned into stormy season rather then spring.
I went to bed on Tuesday evening at 9.00pm with a monster of a headche/migraine that was making my eyes sore. I finally woke up yesterday (Thursday) at around 2pm but my head is still sore and I have some blurred vision still. My OH called the GP who came to visit me 3 times apparently. This has never happened before (the sleeping and the GP visit), and I hope it never does again. I was sick 3 times during early hours of wednesday morning and my whole body hurt. It was like flu but withut the cold. GP says he thinks it is viral and R & R is the only fix. They nearly took me to hospital but decided that I was better off at home in my own bed in my darkened bedroom.
My OH actually stepped up and organised the kids and the house; called the GP, regularly updated my mother (they don't really get on usually) and was and still is attending to my every need. The GP told him I am a "complicated lady". I think this has shocked the family into realising that I am not superwoman and can't do it all. He has purchased vitamin suppliments on GP's and mothers orders. I can't have my B12 injections until I recover from this virus.
I managed to take my meds today as I wasn't able to consume anything other than water for last few days. My aches and pains are very noticeable today and I'm taking ages to do anything. Brain is still a bit muddled but improving. My back keeps having spasms and I've had OH rub pain gel into the really sore bits. I am totally knackered and doing nothing.
I've got OH to put my piccy on but it was taken 3 years ago when I was heavier and having a mad moment. I don't like having my piccy taken but when the weather improves I will get some new ones done to show my now 50lb weight loss.
Take care one and all - you never know what is around the corner and life is too precious.
Angie, i so hope your feeling better today. You have put through the wringer haven't you. You must have been bad for the dr to visit so much. Round here your lucky if you can see a dr in a week let alone get them to visit.
I haven't been that clever these past couple of days,my joints mainly and lack of sleep. I have had two kips today already. You must still take it easy for a while to recover before you do anything,
Take care and a speedy recovery.
Sylvi. xx
Thanks Sylvi.
I've had another kip today too - I love my sleep but this was a bit much. My mother is on my case to take a week or two off work next week. I have to have my bloods done on monday so I will book an appointment to see the GP and decide then. It irritates me to be ill and I feel like such a let down to my wotk colleagues. Stange mentality eh? The GP never visits so I guess that they were actually concerned.
I'm sorry to hear your still suffering Sylvi. This disease is not nice and stamps all over you. Sending you a hug from down here in sunny but windy Kent.
Welcome back you did'nt miss much! The weather has been awful. Glad OH stepping up. Not sure what calling you a 'complicated lady ' means? what does he call the rest of his patients 'simple' haha!
Hope week end goes well for you. my daughter is b12 deficient and she sleeps endlessly when she is low.
I thought your pics really nice i hope you feel better soon

Hope you feel better soon, and I agree with Kathy the pic is fine x
Mercy sakes, Angie, That sounds really dreadful, and no wonder every one was concerned. I would be in dire straits if ever I got something like that! I live alone, well, just me and Bridget, my lovely cat. She would stay right with me, but not good for doing much.
By all means, rest, even if you feel like doing something..don't! Loretxx
Thank you very much for the compliments. I had another 12 hours sleep last night and an hours nap during the day. Today I feel much more improved and have been to see my grandad who will be 84 this week. All my family were there and we had a nice meal at a local pub so I have had a good feed. The weather is dire so I am having a duvet afternoon - there is nothing much on the tv either. If my eyes would properly focus I would read a book, but instead I am listening to classical music on my IPOD and dreaming about warmer days and new adventures in my campervan.
Whatever you are up to - I hope you are enjoying it. Whatever your pain levels are today - I send you a hug.
