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.

migraine

 Today, I have truly done nothing. 


This morning I awoke to a sharp pain in the head and thought to myself, oh no....Then there is the decision of am I well enough to go to work? As I gave the dogs their breakfast and was throwing up at the smell of their dogfood I thought that I should stay home. 


I hate migraine's. It is not just the pain, its the hypersensitivity that goes along with it. I am over sensitive to smell, noise and light.


I went back to bed and put a pillow over my face! its the only way I can cut out the light to my eye's. There I stayed. I have slept most of the day and had some very crazy dreams along the way. 


Even to light from my laptop hurts and it has taken forever to write this. 


The sensitivity to noise feels like the volume has been turned up on the world and each sound jar's through my brain. I have had a day of no TV and no radio. Food makes me feel ill and I have eaten a hot cross bun and 2 slices of toast all day. I have just finished my 2nd slice, whilst my family tuck into sweet and sour chicken. We are all eating in the dark to help my eye's.


I will stay up for a bit but then back to bed again and hope this shifts for tomorrow!


Why am I blogging this? I think its because blogging has become part of my daily routine. 


I don't have time to be ill, there are so many things I should be doing, I have finally found a suitable free pattern for the bunny for my niece! I just need to start it as Easter is fast approaching. 

Happy Tuesday everyone!
