feeling rough.

Remember the other day I said I was germ dodging well I did not manage it.

Wednesday night I was feeling a bit off and was dozing off early. Thursday morning I was awoken very early by my tummy. Now we live in a Victorian house with a traditional layout where the bathroom is downstairs. 99% of the time this is not a problem. When your tummy wakes you up and demands to be instantly taken to the toilet it is.

After being unwell for a few hours I phoned the office to say I would not be in and eventually made it back to bed. I stayed in bed all day and all night. Sleeping, dreaming, sweating. My temperature was pretty high at times and at 1lpm last night I was led in bed with the window open and flakes of snow coming through in an attempt to cool down. (as well as having water and paracetamol) There is not much you can say about laying in bed. I did not have the tv or radio in as noise was very irritating.

This morning I was still feeling rough and sick. phoned into work again. then stayed in bed till 12.00. Then I got up, had more tablets and laid on the sofa. At 2pm I had some food. 2 slices of toast. the first thing I had eaten in 42 hours. now for anyone who knows me I eat a lot of food so going 42 hours is shocking.

I know we never want to get ill but. I missed 1 training day, 1 catch up day, an evening at the theatre and tonight LSP and I were doing some photography for free for an event. so LSP has to go on her own.

I am so glad that the girls are not small anymore, I cannot remember how we coped when they were little and one of us was ill, we certainly could not go to bed for the day!

So that is it, the sum total of my 2 days. feeling rough and sleeping. next time I hope my colleagues can keep their germs to themselves!

Have a happy weekend everyone.
