In my life this week…
No more side effects!
I’ve had a real scare with
my health this last week. Last week I commented that I seemed to be feeling
worse and was having problems with my legs, and as the weekend progressed into
this week, my health deteriorated further. I got to a point where I couldn’t
sit or stand, was sweating bucket loads, felt too sick and dizzy to eat or
drink and could not keep my body from shaking. Scared was definitely an
understatement. On Monday I decided to ring the doctors, who told me they had
no appointments. After much ringing and begging I managed to see a doctor on
Monday afternoon, who decided to take me off a new medication I was trying, and
thankfully after a few days I was feeling much more human again. It’s crazy how
a few little tablets can make you so unwell, but I certainly won’t be taking
this medication again in a hurry! This photo, with my brother, his fiancé and
my sister was taken on the first day I felt able to stand up again.
Air con
I’ve been melting in the
heat this week, especially up in my bedroom. Because my room is up in the
attic, it seems to get a lot hotter than the rest of the house, and the Velux
windows can act like a green house. Thankfully, a few years ago my Dad bought me
an air conditioning unit, so this week it’s been back up in my room cooling me
down. I’d be lost without it and it’s meant I can get on with blogging and
other bits and bobs in my bedroom, which is great. The only downside is that it’s
so noisy, so I’m just using it sparingly.
Old friends
This week I’ve had the
opportunity to catch up with a couple of old friends, which has been lovely.
One of them was my friend Katrina, who I met when we were at college together
but she actually only lives down the road from me! We used to do everything
together – shopping, cinema, meals out, trips to London, but then a couple of
years ago she was offered an amazing job over in Dubai. I’ve really missed having
her around, so it’s been lovely catching up with her while she’s back to the
summer. We’ve so far managed a trip to Costa, and this week a mooch around a
local garden centre and a drink in the café, and we’re hoping to see each other
a few more times before she heads back to Dubai for September. We’ve also been
chatting about having a girly holiday to Cornwall next summer, which I’m
already getting excited about, as long as I can get my health a bit more
stable.
What has grabbed your attention this
week? I love hearing about people’s new discoveries and you may end up sharing
something that makes it onto my list next week!
