Bad night, easy day.

16 Replies

I spent last night at A&E with my Son. Got home at 4.35AM this morning. He will be OK hopefully and the staff at the Medway couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Thank goodness for our NHS.

Had a few very fretful hours sleep and have decided that today I need to do what my body wants, not what it needs. Selfish I know but I cannot do my steps or even think to eat healthy so it's back to normal tomorrow. Hope everyone has a good day xx

I'm really sorry to hear that Bobbivee, but very relieved that he's going to be fine! What a horrible time you've had!

I don't blame you for taking a rest day, to soothe your jangled nerves. Tomorrow is another day :)

Take care of yourselves :)

Thank you. I must say that a few months ago I would have pigged out with all the sweet stuff in sight, but since I've been on this board I've been a lot more sensible and even just posting things makes me feel better. Tomorrow is another day as Scarlet often said.

A problem shared, is a problem halved and we can offer far more empathy and support than a packet of biscuits can :)

Another Gone With the Wind fan! Terrific! :)

Hi I hope your son is getting better it's awful when you have to go to A & E an anxious wait and lack of sleep. Do whatever you have to do to help you through the day and look after your son.

The classics are the best you've gotta love em!

So sorry to hear about your son. I hope he is ok.

As for yourself, I think you have every right to step off the wagon, so to speak, for a day at least. I still turn to food in times of stress...and these kind of events (hopefully) don't arise very often! Take care. x

Thanks xx

I think you need to do what you need to do and the fact that you have decided to do what your body wants for 24 hours and then get back on the healthy eating I think is fine - Hope your son is ok and wishing you and him all the best x x

Hope you son recovers soon. You are quite right to do as your body demands. You must need the rest. Enjoy it.
