hello all.
I'm home and up but very weak. Apologies for not reading what has been going on, I hope I am not interuppting one of our good discussions with me post.
Anyway, felt under the weather Mon-Weds last week, but put it down to training quite hard at the gym and a long run Wednesday, started feeling a bit sore throaty Weds night and by Thursday morning I knew I had tonsillitis. (DH took day off, went to Dr who prescribed AB's) Nothing unusual there as I often get tonsillitits. Slept most of thursday and friday, then 5pm teatime couldn't breath properly. Immense pain and so went straight to A+E who put something in my throat to aid breathing, and dripped me up. Bloods came back v.bad so then had to be transferred by ambulance to a London hospital where I then have had over 21 bags of IV antibiotics, 8 shots of anti inflamatories up the arsenal, plus numerous drips for dehydration. Was a shocker.
Also testing for Glandular fever but won't know results until tomorrow. Have to have my tonsils out ASAP (but I am pushing for June as I have my 10k run place confirmed in May and really want to do that) which infuriates me as have always suffered from Tonsillitits and they have always said no to taking them out. Seems you have to be in breathing difficulties before they consider that now days.
Anyway, begged to be let home, I like my creature comforts so got lots of "wacko Jacko" masks to wear around house, although am staying away from kids until they confirm NOT glandular fever.
Am incredibly weak, tired and my body has taken a real hammering. Plus, since friday I have GAINED 8lbs. This despite not eating a damn thing. Surely can't all be water retention.....Must be only person to go into hospital, not eat and put over half a stone on. Gutted about that, really I am.
Anyhow, just wanted to catch up, I will do my best to read, but obviously won't be posting at my usual rate.
