Bit of a strange subject title for a tiling forum, but that’s what I’ve had for the past 10 days.
It all started with the shivers last Saturday week. Midnight and bedtime, I could not get rested. I was wrapped up in clothes, dressing gown and duvet and I was absolutely freezing.
Sunday morning I woke to the worlds biggest hangover. Crushing head, eyes feeling like rocks. I managed a small bowl of ready brek and back to bed with some headache tablets.
This carried on till Wednesday when I called my Doctor with my symptoms. He got me round to the surgery straight away and started me on a course of antibiotics for a urine infection.
So, from Sunday to Wednesday I had only eaten 2 small bowls of cerial and 4 slices of toast.
By Thursday I was worse so I rang the new NHS Direct. I told the operator I was eating Anadins like Smarties. She said what’s Anadin !!!!! She also asked me to turn the lights off and turn them back on again……..do your eyes hurt?............It was 14:00 in the afternoon!!!
Straight to A&E and spent a night being hooked up to a drip, and giving loads of blood/urine for testing purposes. Chucked out of bed the following afternoon, then sat in the waiting room for 4 hours for my discharge papers and meds. I was feeling worse coming out of hospital than I had going in.
Back home Friday night and back to bed fully topped up with pain killers and antibiotics and fluids.
I have now emerged on Tuesday morning feeling a little bit better and now feel that I am on the mend.
This infection really knocked the stuffing out of me. I was not able to do anything except sleep and feel totally sick. I’ve lost 7llbs but I’m sure that will pile on again within the next few days.
I turned down one new job and had to pass on 2 other jobs I had booked in.
In my whole working career this infection has literally brought me to my knees for 2 weeks (as I won’t be working the rest of the week). Plus I have to go back to the hospital on Friday for tests.
Why did’t I go to the hospital earlier?.........because I Googled my symptoms and it said I had a ‘virus’ !!!!!!! Ummmmmm
