Feeling so ill, and going abroad on a hen do on Friday…

What the hell do I do?

I’ve spent the last couple of days coughing my guts up with a very dry, slightly mucusy cough - it feels like I have a frog in my throat. My lower chest feels pretty tight compared to usual. I also keep swinging from a raging temperature to being freezing cold, my wee is almost black (even though I’m trying to drink more) and my lower back in particular is killing me but everything aches.

A Covid test and pregnancy test have both been negative.

I’m waiting for a callback from 111 because I’m struggling to cope now but I’m scared they are going to say I can’t fly.

I’ve not told the hen party or Bride about this at this point in case I unnecessarily worry them, but even then I don’t know how I’m meant to go abroad when I feel like this, and be expected to partake in what will likely be heavy amounts of drinking. I only know the Bride and her Mum, with several other ladies coming. Would they even want me to join when we are expected to share beds too?

The other side of this is likely losing a large amount of money (I do have travel insurance but it’s a large villa booked in someone else’s name), I’ve also got my name on the collection for a Boots parcel past security!

Please can someone stop me panicking and advise if this is the sort of thing a GP would do? (Stop you flying)

Thanks for thinking of me!

I’m still here, 16 hours in and with very little sleep. They are admitting because my blood pressure is consistently low, pulse rate high and the pain isn’t subsiding even with pain relief.

They have said I definitely have pyelonephritis, a CT has uncovered some tiny kidney stones, but my bloods have indicated a massive infection and they are concerned they are missing something.

I definitely won’t be going on the hen do and they all know now. They have been incredibly gracious and lovely about it too x

Are you on IV antibiotics and fluids?
I hope at a minimum that you are ….
Drink LOTS !!!

I’m still in hospital so it was never going to happen anyway!

They have thankfully been incredibly lovely, I’m just gutted I won’t be there with them 🥺

next thing to sort is the travel insurance now…

Hope you’re on the mend and out of hospital soon OP. Glad your fellow hens were understanding.
