I am alive … just.

Thank you for the get well messages both on the blog and those I have spoken to privately, its hugely appreciated.  I have spent the last four days relatively comatose in bed in between looking after my son who got sick as well. We both caught a virus which can only be described as fucking evil.

This is the first time I have been this ill in years and I was nearly beside myself because I was having real trouble dealing with the little one being so sick myself.  I have had lovely offers of help from friends but the virus is so harsh it was best to keep eveyone away.

First two days were hot and cold sweats, shivering, drenched and barely able to stay awake, then it moved on to expelling every ounce of food or water we ingested out both ends for days, today is the first day after five days of no food I have been able to eat something without it coming back out.

My son has bounced back well, and me well, I am very weak, I have major backache, prolly from lying down too much lol and can’t take any painkillers because of the damage the vomiting has done to my tummy, taking painkillers will only cause me to be violently ill again. So it’s baby steps now and recuperating slowly.

I am still very tired and have not alot of energy so the blog will still be on a wee holiday until I get back to some form of normal.
