Good morning all from Glasgow where it is 1°C, I have been coughing non stop since 6am and like you Bella, my nose is streaming.
We have the Duracella Bunny today and I also have to get my hospital bloods done. They are only sixth months overdue!
Fortunately, the hospital have arranged for them to be done at the local hub, rather than have to trail al the way to the hospital in Glasgow.
We had the most awful day yesterday. My darling Dollie was A&E after being found unresponsive on her bedroom floor. She had fallen out of bed, but seemed to be OK. Minutes later, her mum heard a thud, went into her room and found her lying on the floor, eyes wide open and not responding.
She spent a long time in A&E, where she was thoroughly checked over. They could not find anything untoward, everything appeared to be normal and she was quite lucid.
I had just come out of the doctors and missed a call from DS. When I tried to call him back, I couldn't get him. I knew something was wrong, because he never calls during working hours. Eventually I got a message, asking to call him right away. I thought it was to do with his recent medical problems. For the first time in months, I had an angina attack. I thought I was going to faint, due to the shock. I am usually so calm in situations like this, but this knocked me for six.
DS had waited until she was discharged, before calling me, because he knew how upset I would be. Of course, I couldn't wait to see she that was OK. I rushed home to get DH, who already knew and we spent the afternoon with her, to allow DS to catch up on business calls, he had to cancel yesterday
morning. DIL had also had to cancel work appointments, so we said we would look after her, in case she became sleepy and needed to return to hospital.
Thankfully, she cannot remember much and she is used to hospital visits, due to her asthma. She told me that she was quite glad, she didn't have to go to school, because they were having a big writing test and someone from the university was coming to see them work.
It then dawned on me that it was a tutor from university, who was coming to monitor a student teacher. When I heard her name, I realised that she was a former pupil of mine. It is indeed a small world!
I must get a move on, the whirling dervish will be here soon and we need to feed her, dress her, get out to the phlebotomy clinic and pick up prescriptions, which needed ordered.
We will park in Asda and put on her reins , in the hope that the walking will tire her out. However, she has a penchant for sit down protests in the middle of the pavement! It is not going to be a restful day.😂
Hugs to all, who are struggling and sad, including Taichinan, and prayers for all, involved in the terrible plane crash. I will read your posts later, once/if BabyD folks asleep*
Have a good day folks.
