More visitors/not well again

 Easter weekend went well here with nephew and his girlfriend staying for one night. They booked a hotel in Torquay for the weekend and came back for Sunday night before leaving Monday. While they were in Torquay our son popped down and stayed Saturday night so we definitely weren't lonely over Easter, lol.

I fell asleep on the sofa on Friday afternoon. I never ever sleep in the day unless I'm ill, so I knew I was sickening for something. Sure enough, on Saturday, I was running a temperature and getting stomach pains signalling another infection. It's Easter, so our doctors surgery is closed. The junior doctors are on strike, and it wasn't too bad, so I just dosed up on paracetamol. The last time I had this, the GP sent me to hospital urgent care. The problem was that the 3 lots of IV antibiotics really messed up my whole digestive system for 5 weeks, so I don't want that again. I'm going to make a GP appointment today as they are open as normal now.

Daughter has gone to London to see Hurcules with the granddaughter for 3 days. I think she's planning on visiting us for a few days afterwards. The weather here is nice and sunny atm so hope it lasts for her visit.

Bye for now All the best

Recovering.....

 Have been quite ill this week which was unfortunate as we had both sons staying here. It started with bad stomach pain last weekend so I rang the GP Monday morning. 3 hours later the Dr saw me did blood tests etc and sent me home with antibiotics. Late afternoon he rang again and sent me to hospital! I was so shocked but apparently I needed IV medication. Had 5 ECGs maybe 6 I lost count, probably due to the shock of being sent to hospital lol Weight, more blood, urine tests, and what I think was a dementa test lol. Do you know where you are, what year is it, date of birth, say the months of the year backwards starting with December!!!!!!!! Pleased to say I passed. Off for a chest x-ray, hooked up on a drip all in one hour of arrival. Husband said it's restored his faith in the NHS. It is definately nothing like you see on the news condemming the poor service to patients. Saw 2 consultants, several doctors, nurses and HCAs always there for you, offering drinks, pain relief, checkin...

Quiet Day

 OH has spent almost all day in bed asleep   I've been mainly keeping the dogs company, watching TV and generally having a quiet day. He came downstairs mid-morning, for half an hour, to take his regular tablets and have coffee with me, then back to bed. Came down again at 5pm, had a tin of soup and back upstairs again. Down again at midnight for coffee for 10 minutes. I did keep checking if he's still alive up there every few hours lol. This is typical of OH. If he's ill he wants to be alone ie totally alone. I decided last night to move to the spare bed in the office room as he's coughing quite a lot, plus I don't want to catch it if it's Covid. I went online and I've ordered a pack of 10 Covid tests. It was a good deal - 10 for £9.99 with free delivery. The chemist here was charging £10 for a pack of 5 tests!! Cooked myself cheese omlette and chips for tea as OH didn't want anything more to eat. I found a recipe online for French Apple Cake yesterday ...

Babysitting and Dr Who's kitchen!

 Travelled back to our hometown yesterday and called in to see our eldest son. He's renovating his dining room and it's starting to look very good. Son always strips everything back when decorating, ie new patio doors, walls plastered, new flooring, new skirting board etc. He's definitely a perfectionist. We met DGD on the way to daughter's home riding her bike home from school. DD and her colleagues all meet up in a local pub with their children every Friday, so we spent an hour there before going to DDs home. Its really nice that they are all friends as well as colleagues. Today, Saturday, OH put up a shelf in DGDs bedroom, and then we spent the day visiting relatives. Managed to catch 2 nieces, 2 sisters, sister's boyfriend, and our Brother-in-law. Haven't seen him for months, as he's been staying on and off with his mum and sister since my sister died last year. We took DGD around with us as we're looking after her while DD is away for the weekend. I...
