Back in the wars

I've been home sick all day.



It started yesterday, with the strange feeling that usually heralds the onset of cramps. I managed to mostly stave them off during the working day, but by 7pm they were so bad I actually paid the money to use CityLink and get home faster. I spent all of last evening crashed on the couch, with occasional mad dashes to the loo.

At 10pm I realised I could no longer stand up and fell into bed.

Some time this morning (I think 1amish) I began the cycle of cramps, sweating, dash to loo, back to bed. This has continued for most of the day. I looked so bad this morning that Dean actually took a flex day to look after me. I wasn't actually as bad as I looked (I think) but it was a nice gesture. And he cleaned the bumper marks off the car.

On the up side I have managed to finally see Spinal Tap (with frequent loo breaks) and almost finish my cross-stitch Christmas Angel decoration. I have never managed to finish a cross-stitch anything before in my life, so I'm pretty chuffed.

Now if my tummy would just decide that it's happy and leave me alone all would be well. And we so need softer toilet paper for these occasions.. *sigh*

poor you :-( Sympathy flying your way...and the usual advice...lots of water, ginger and if you're doubled over with cramps that feel better with pressure there's a homeopathic remedy called 'arg.nit' [which I think stands for argent nitriculum??] that works wonders fer me when I'm like that, if you give it a go, get it in a 30 potency [or rather get someone else to get it for you]
sorry, illness brings out the voice of experience in me and I tend to start wittering advice! Hope you feel better soon.

Feeling better although not 100% today, fortunately.

Now I'm just staggering around like a newborn foal trying to work out what my legs do, not having done much other than dash up the hallway for the past 2 days.

Soccer tonight's going to be.. interesting.
