Monday… I spoke too soon!
Jan 19th 2009PeterGetting My Life Back!
…about feeling good, because the weekend hit me with a norovirus “the vomiting bug” infection! I felt fine on Friday as I drove home, and OK Friday night, but by Saturday lunchtime I was feeling a bit under the weather (very rapid onset) and went for a lie down. I did enjoy a cup of tea – but only the first time – and I spent most of the rest of the weekend in bed. The lack of fluids caused my blood pressure to drop and when I got up, I promptly fainted and bashed my nose – it looks worse than it is. However dietician Rachel’s isotonic drinks recipe came to the rescue and after the first 12 hours I was able to drink something. By Sunday night I could manage some food, and I am back at work this morning – if not feeling 100%, at least a lot better than I was. Most unpleasant!
There is a strange irony to this too! We ‘hot desk’ at work, and I don’t think the occupational health issues are really considered. Computer keyboards and mice must be prime sources for the transfer of infection, so I bought some bactericidal wipes – which I started using last week! I guess it was just one of those things.
Onwards and Upwards!
