Time for an update! So, I haven’t blogged properly for about a month now but thankfully I am on the mend finally – this chest infection business is not fun.
I’m on a second round of antibiotics after the first didn’t do the job, and hopefully these will kick it once and for all. I’ve had a chest X-ray done this week as well so they are ruling out the possibility of it being something more serious. Along with a bad cough my infection has caused me to have a mild fever a lot of the time, general aches & pains, wheezing and a very fuzzy confused head.
My current antibiotics have pretty much turned me into a zombie though; I’m sleeping like a log and waking up exhausted. My stomach isn’t too happy about them and my head isn’t good as I’m dehydrated and tired. At least my chest infection seems to be improving.
Whine, whine, whine.
I’m really frustrated, can you tell? It’s messing with work, blogging, housework and looking after the kids.
We’ve also unfortunately had a death in the family – not entirely unexpected, but still sad – so we’ve been dealing with that; all the bits like childcare and suitable clothes for the funeral, as well as talking to the children about it. Georgie is just about old enough to understand a little, but Lydia didn’t get it at all.
I finish my current course of antibiotics this weekend, and then we are at the funeral on Tuesday, so hopefully by this time next week things should be getting back to normal. It is the girls’ last day at school today and the half term holiday next week, so I’m hoping I will be well enough to do some fun things with them next week.
Ok, I’m done whining. But what else are blogs for if not to give you a place to whine, rant or vent occasionally!?
Normal service to be resumed soon – I hope!
When you’ve been so poorly it does make you feel low. I really hope that you start to improve now and manage to fit in some fun with the girls next week. I’m sorry to hear about your loss, sending a gently hug x
I’m not surprised you’re feeling grumpy, what a rotten time. Hope you start to pick up soon. *hugs*
I’m glad you are feeling a bit better…
So sorry for your loss. Thinking of you x
