    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.

    Ate some tea last night. Louise had cooked a meal for the kids
    & I had a go as well. Very nice. Stomach was a little
    surprised, I think as it did protest a bit later on, but there was
    no searing gut rot as before. Hopefully that corner has been turned
    & normal service will be resumed as soon as possible. Did wake
    this morning with a great stab of pain, but it soon subsided &
    turned to… hunger. Cautious breakfast. This all does not feel
    right, but it’s noticeably better.
