Update - antibiotics finished on Sunday, and my coughing was improved but I felt dreadful still. I've no energy and my chest still rattles. Into week 7 and it's really getting me down. Had bloods done and a chest x-ray on Wednesday. Bloods back - I'm low in iron, which I guess explains the lethargy. Hoping to see doctor again soon as I'm going on holiday in 2 weeks and was hoping to dive. Can't do scuba with a chest like this.
The other night I couldn't get to sleep, lying listening to Mark deep breathe, and getting really annoyed. He's out as soon as his head hits the pillow, which is probably due to his aphantasia (if you missed my blog about it a couple of years ago Google will explain). I'm the complete opposite to Mark my head just never shuts up. The constant chatter and conversations even at night, I feel it would be just plain rude to fall asleep in the middle!
We don't usually watch a programme called Poor Holiday, Rich Holiday but I noticed this week they were in Alps d'Huez which is the very first resort we skied in, and where Mark and BiL went this year. It was cool to see but quite how they spent thousands is a bit 'why??'. Skiing isn't cheap but really? Then my sister told me about one set in Lisbon which is where the four of us went last year. I recognised some of it, but it's a big place. It was definitely one of my best holidays ever - and I like to holiday!
Surgery rang last night to say I'm also low in folic acid. Which also adds to the lethargy. So happy there's a reason for my knackered-ness! And low folic acid makes you irritable too. Wow, explains my very low threshold for idiots and low tolerance to just about everything and everyone this past week or two. Maybe I'm not just a grumpy old woman after all (hum, maybe just a little). I'm getting to see a doctor this afternoon about my chest. Please let them fix me!
Last night my two Karen's from Newcastle arrived. We're going to have a great weekend. Bring on the gin and snacks. Whoop whoop. Now where first? A castle then the beach I think. Maybe takeaway for supper. Then chocolate. Great fun.
Have a great week and I'll see you Friday.
The picture above - my neighbour gave me Biscoff biscuits which are just delicious. My BiL got me some from France where you can get them covered in chocolate, so I made my own. Delicious Biscoff but just a touch more delicious. Though, full disclosure, more chocolate is needed. Next time though.
Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing that it doesn't go in a fruit salad.
