The Stomach update: I ate no tea last night. Did not feel so bad
yesterday, but coming home took a turn for the worse. Hunger &
griping pain all together, a general feeling of unsteadiness. For
example, walking home, I was worried that people might think I had
been drinking, as I kept losing my equilibrium; a little stumble,
speeding up walking & slowing down as I determined that I would
maintain my normal walking pace, but had to concentrate to do so.
Tea was pancakes for the kids, which, seeing as was a feature of
the last tea I ate before this bug got ahold of me, it was not
something I felt I could partake. Nipped out after the kids were
asleep to get some chocolate milk, & stock up on Lucozade &
water. Louise had a bad night too; no tea (to speak of) & bad
tum. All the more worrying for Louise as she is pregnant.
I was determined last week if this continued, that I would make a
Doctor’s appointment, but I feel pensive about it now. I shall have
to see if I can ‘remember’ to do it during the day today. Louise is
going for a scan next Thursday (I have booked that day off work
well in advance) so she feels that would be the best time to rise
the matter if it still persist with her.
I am getting exceedingly bored with being ill. There was scant
novelty there anyway, & I distinctly dislike any sort of
gripes, pains & aches in the 1st place.
