Sick Day.

I have spent most of today lying around. When I got home last night I had a temperature of 102 and the cold I'd been nursing sinse last Monday had moved to my chest leaving me with an extremely sore throat and a violent cough. During the course of today my temp has gone back to normal so I guess that means I'm getting better. I feel very drained and my throat is still a bit rough.

I've not really been with it as to what's been happening around here today, usually the dogs tend to come and go as they please but I suddenly realised I hadn't seen Tippy in a while so I went to find her. She hasn't been very well for a while now and has virtually stopped eating. Now I can't get her to stand up or even drink some milk so its not looking so good. I've put her on her bed by the side of mine. Its quite upsetting.

Visiting.

Today I am at my parents. Me and Tom are here by ourselves as Vicki and her friend along with my parents have gone to the RHS show at Tatton Park. Because Vicki can't drive yet they have all gone by coach from here. Its a days excursion put on by a coach tour company local to this area which is why me and Tom are here, we brought Vicki.

I am a bit under the weather at the moment suffering a cold. I want to lay down but when I do my head just becomes completely congested so I alternate between walking round aching and lying down trying to rest. Now I think it has gone on my chest also so every now and then I have to find time for a bout of coughing. The only good side to that is that its not the cough that carries you off but the coffin they carry you off in.

Kimmie Asked.

Kimmie has asked how Vicki is getting on so I thought it was time to give you an update.

I am pleased to say that she is doing well and is getting about doing things, more than she should be doing I think but you can only say so much. She has had several visitors so there has been plenty of talking going on so the world should be just about perfect by the time they've all finished putting to rights.

New Glasses

Vicki has to have some new glasses so because she can't drive for a few weeks I've combine a shopping trip to the garden centre with a visit to the opticians.

Run Round.

This morning we had to go down to the doctors because when they discharged Vicki from hospital they did give her some things that she needs so this meant either going back to the hospital which is a 50 mile round trip or they said to go down to the doctors so we went to the doctors as I don't think its good for her to be riding round in the car for hours on end.

As it turned out it was all a waste of time anyway. After being passed back and forth from one department to another they decided they didn't have what she needed so we came back empty handed and she is going to try and manage without.

Other than that everything is going okay so far.

Waiting Room.

At the moment me and Vicki are in the hospital waiting room watching golf while we wait for Vicki to go to the operating theatre.

Thank You.

Thanks for your best wishes. For those that don't know Vicki is going in hospital tomorrow to have her gallstones removed. She expects to be in over night.

That Sort Of Person.

To me, being the sort of person who can worry about nothing for weeks on end, having someone you know who is in hospital is all consuming to the point of leaving one exhausted. Tomorrow Vicki goes in for her operation.

Visitors.

Tonight we had four ladies from church round to dinner. I think everyone seemed to have a good time. As usual Vicki put on a good meal so everyone was pretty stuffed by the end.
