Well the tea party for my wonderful cousin went off with a bang, she was totally gobsmacked, never expecting any sort of shin dig. The card that I got her was a sister card because in my eyes she is my sister and this made her cry, quite an achievement as she is not the emotional type at all. So gifts given, food eaten, candles blown out with assistance from my young son and a good ending to a good day.
Saturday and like most others woke to howling winds and torrential rain, so glad I did not have to go out. Daughter and cousin decided to brave it and go shopping (mad as march hares) so off they trotted, as my cousin doesnt drive and I'm not allowed to at the moment this meant walking to the bus stop which is not too far but with the amount of rain they were soaked before they even got on the bus. Had a quiet day mooching around with my son, watching disney then put disney on the pc for him and he was away. Mega impressed with his co-ordination skills and it kept him amused for a few hours. Daughter and cousin managed to stay out about 4 hours and were red and wet when they came back but loaded down with bags. I had bought some boneless kippers the day before and fancied them as afternoon snack so cooked them off for me and hubby and cousin, but by the time they were ready I was feeling sick so I just had the brown bread and passed on the kippers, couldnt shift the sicky feeling so went to lie down about 5ish and stayed there for the rest of the night.
Sunday and the weather has much improved, managed to get a few loads of washing done. Hubby popped out shopping and with my cousin being here took the opportunity to have a long soak in the bath. felt a bit better once this was done but sad as my cousin was going back home later and my emotions are all over the place at the moment so knew I was going to get upset. Hubby cooked a lovely meal for us all and then all too soon it was time for my cousin to leave. Hugs and kisses and promises if I needed her I would ring immediately and lots and lots of tears ( crying even as Im typing this...what is wrong with me Im normally so together) and off she went. As usual she had left behind a little pressie hunt, she leaves pressies for everyone all over the place, like I said she doesnt really do emotion so thats her way of dealing with it. There were little gifts in cupboards and under pillows but cheered the kids up no end. Watched the X factor still feeling sicky and then had a crap nights sleep, tossing and turning all night with real jumpy legs and my mind running wild with thoughts of this sickness must be something bad, I have of course in the light of day realised that it is most probably a side effect of the antibiotics that I am still on but everything seems worse in the dark.
Monday and woke feeling tired, not suprising after the night I had had. Still feeling a bit sicky but not as bad and I only have a few more days of antibiotics to go and hopefully the results of my op will be in on thursday so will have a clear picture of what is going on as Im sure this not knowing is not helping, to long to blow it all out of propotion and paint an even darker picture but Im sure you understand what I mean. Sorry if this thread seems a bit bitty today just hate feeling ucky.
take care love Terri xxx
