Still ommmmmmmmmmming!
Ha... what more could a girl need; laptop, camera card reader and zzzz potion. I can’t even remember you taking that photo
That is so me a?
So sorry to have been AWOL " I can’t recall being this poorly for a long time (2 yrs ago actually). I got home from work yesterday and went rapidly downhill in the space of a couple hours. Basically, the main prob was a headhurt, but I also became photophobic and high temp " felt like my head was in a vice. G came over and called the doctor in (I’d pretty much gone off into no.idea.what’s.going.on.lalalala land) Doc apparently did all the obvious tests (for some nasties) and then filled me full of morphine, co prox and zzzzz potion in one taking
Knocked out. Fer sure. ‘Til 3am when it started up again.
However, I am feeling MUCH better this evening, still a little unwell but not proper pooly " relatively human at least and have slept for the most part. District Nurse came today (no McT-she was not on a bicycle)" I didn't actually see her coz I had a pillow over my head coz she turned the lights on, but if there had been any real problem they would have rung me by now. So, I'm alright me - just a whus with a fever, very ughy cold sweats (pleasant a?) and shivers(nasty) " have a wee bit of a voice now and thanks to the pain killers, my head hurt is bearable. (not so yesterday). Thanku for all your concerns, I would have got online if I could, but I simply couldn’t focus at all and pretty much kept my eyes closed for the last 24 hours - was completely out of it " kinda scary feeling when you’ve no idea what’s going on and S-boy had got a little panicky. I don’t even remember seeing the doctor last night, know he was there but... prolly best forgotten anyhoo.
Briefly spoke (squeaked) to Tulip " hoping Sgirl is well on the road to recovery too " she has been so, so poorly. Now we just have to hope and pray that Fboy doesn’t get it... and Tulip of course. Tulip, glad we spoke today. I’m so sorry I couldn’t talk yesterday, I could hear S-boy talking to you, I just couldn’t focus or understand what was happening. Glad you spoke to G tho. Do drop the kids off with me tomorrow if you do decide to go to work " I really am heaps better and it would be no problem at all to have them. I promise.
Now, strange thing... my mom came over to take little fella to school, came back, picked up phone and pressed a button “missed call”. She was trying to phone G to find out if he was coming over (no no, he didn’t stay, bless him, he really doesn’t do “sick folk” not at all " quite right too, don’t want him to get this " anyhooo... mom being mom (technically challenged as her daughter is) pressed ‘last missed call’.... and apparently, there was Bazza was on the end. I could hear some kind of conversation going on " but was unaware of what she had done, as was she as she wittered down the phone to poor Bazza " I think she felt a bit of a doofus too, especially as she had discussed my medical history with the Harbour Master " who must have been tittering away up in London thinking “who the heck is talking down the phone, are they all barking mad in Devon” (you can’t get a word in edge wise with Mom " ohhh, there’s another similarity " that’s the only two tho). Hey ho. Apols Bazza for the confusion " but yay, my mom realises I am not quite so mad and the people online aren’t imaginary friends in my head. How weird that she called your number. Silver linings.

Mamaverb, Verbaby, Daddyverb...never far from my thoughts....need her to KNOW THAT! <3
She does Mis... she really does...
Managed to squeak to MaMaVerby too " felt dreadful for not calling her yesterday " Eby picked up the phone and it was lovely to hear his voice, tho... we had a language barrier so weren’t able to have a conversation really, did chuckle a little at trying to comprehend one another, and my voice is only just audible. So, I rang back a little later and spoke to MaMaverby.
Their little boy’s lung has collapsed. Now, I know that doesn’t sound too good, but this is not rare with a premie who has been and is being ventilated " keeping hopes and positivity going around the world " he’s fighting to keep going " bless that little boy. They are upping the parameters of the ventilator to help him and from what I understood, the doctors are
confident that they can get the lung to reinflate by external massage. So, nothing invasive just yet... MaMaVerby continues to ask for everyones, prayers, wishes, hopes and posivibes and thanks everyone for what they are doing.
She did sound a tad stronger today, still exhausted and ever anxious with her little boy struggling so much - but she did her little laugh down the phone too when I asked her to go and hug her hubby as soon as she put the phone down to make up for not being able to talk with him properly. Love her, she’s a sweetheart.
It’s very much a day at a time for their little boy but doctors can do the most incredible things these days, yep, I would say that medical science and docs perform miracles every day (of course that makes no sense in written words, science = miracle, but hey ho), so, keeping very positive here for VerbyBaby and his Mom and Dad.

<Daniel Craig with a tad of Pierce Brosnan methinks> 
sitting near the waters edge in the South West of England " I heard that him and his wife were just wonderful folk whom the neighbours liked very much " one day I hope to meet them both in person. Kitties send their love McT hahahaha! Love to you both. Thanku " that pic made me smile big. X
OK.... so wishing I could respond to each and everyone’s posts " but I don’t think I can get my head together enough just yet.
Thanks all for thinking of us " definitely turned the corner, much much much better than yesterday, will be right as rain in no time. Just hoping S-girl will get better soon.
Thank you.
<Oh, something happened at work yesterday which was simply amazing. It involved a boid. Will yabber tomorrow about it, can’t think now. As for work... well, HeadT is obligated to do the “capability” crahhhhhp... haven’t even opened the envelope. It’s still in the car. Hey ho>
ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Lovin' y'all.
G'nite crew. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
! - made her smile!) She is still on tablets and weak. She can just about stand some light but not really bright lights as this hurts her head too much. They wanted to take her to hospital yesterday but she wouldn't have it! They thought she had meningitis! Izzie's work is being less than helpful and are threatening to get rid of her, nice eh! She is bloody good at what she does and it is just not right. Ok she has been off but she more than makes up for it. They don't know a good worker when they see one! 
Take care of yourself and don't overdo it, stay in bed until everything thing is working fine, otherwise you'll join our other two unnamed ladies, who have a habit of harming themselves of late.
