Morning oops Afternoon (just noticed the time)
We are continuing to have fun here - not.
Started feeling rough on Friday afternoon and kept berating myself for being crap/lazy and not getting everything ready for our double party day on Saturday. Had to stand and bake all evening to get the cakes dh had promised them read and felt worse and worse as the night went on. Sick, dizzy, backache and abdo pain. Finally went to the toilet just before bed only to find I was passing blood!
Dosed myself up with ibuprofen and paracetamol put a jug of water in the fridge for more drinks overnight and took a glass up with me, then crawled off to bed, but text Mum to ask if she's take me to the out of hours doc in the morning.
Sooo, woke in the night in a lot of pain, temperature etc got up early spoke to the triage doc who said to come straight down there.
and .. I have a flipping kidney infection! Aaaargh! When will it ever end? Actually its my own fault as I was having niggly signs of a uti for a couple of weeks and just kept telling myself if I drank lots and went to the toilet regularly I'd be fine - apparently I was wrong.
It feels horrible, best way I can describe it is like a back labour with lots of cramping in my lower back and abdomen, plus a fair amount of nausea.
Didn't want to spoil anyones day, so still got everyone sorted and went to the parties. Boys had a fantastic time so it was worth going. But between the parties we couldn't find anywhere to go and get some food. Went to find a pub with some of our closest friends only to find they are all closed till 6 o'clock (weird). Ended up getting soaked to the skin three times in half an hour (cue lovely frizzy curly fringe) traipsing round from carparks to locked doors and I didn't have a coat with me.
Finally found a really nice little pub with lovely 'alternative' type people managing it and they couldn't have done more to be accomodating. The pub was pretty small and there were 4 adults and 5 chidren in our group. They also had a lovely real fire on the go so we stayed and had a really nice meal and some drinks before heading back to the second party (a bit late ) which was being held in a cold, draughty and pretty uncomfortable community centre. Managed to hang in there until 9.00 when the bouncy castle was dismantled and the boys were ready to drop and then made our excuses and drove the hour and a half home before collapsing on the sofa feeling too poorly to go upstairs to bed.
Upshot of it is that I am much worse today and stuck in bed on my own - again! I also seem to be having a reaction to the antibiotics and am covered in a pinpricky itchy rash which just adds to the overall glamorous look of someone who is very green and has such big black bags on her eyes that she looks like she has been punched in the face - lovely.
Sorry to come on and grump, am just feeling very sorry for myself today.
Oh - fringe is generally ok now I have got used to it, and it hides my wrinkles, which is a distinct bonus.
Tea - you are by no means an imposter, I was just thinking how you have fitted in beautifully straight away. Sorry to hear about your relationship problems, feel free to rant/vent etc on here, we're pretty good listeners y'know.
