Better in Health Than Temper?

Robbie was so poorly yesterday, I sent him straight back to bed and there he stayed until early afternoon. He just slept, he didn't even drink his coffee, he was red hot to touch but he said he was freezing. He did get up for a while in the afternoon, but he had the fire full on, it was like the tropical house at the zoo, but he was still cold. All he wanted to do was sleep so he crept back to bed. He insisted that he was well enough to go back to work today despite shivering all night. His usual early morning rush was more of an early morning plod, he dosed himself up and prepared to face the day. He claimed he was feeling better, but he was as miserable as sin and I think it was a real struggle for him to get back to normal this morning.

Feeling Frustrated

Gosh, two posts from Robbie within a week, I don't think I can cope with the shock! He has proved that he isn't just obsessive about trains, he is obsessive about music too, so when he bores you rigid you have a choice of subjects!!

On the subject of being annoying, someone is really getting on my nerves and I just can't escape - because it's me! I am fed up with being so pathetic, as well as the fatigue that comes with the flu, I have very little voice and a cough that is turning me inside out and creating havoc with my asthma. It makes me really scared when I struggle to breathe and not feeling well is really annoying me now, I have far too much to do. Robbie has been so supportive and helpful while I haven't been feeling well, but he is struggling now, he's too hot, then too cold and he's feeling like death warmed up. It was a real struggle for him to go to work this morning, poor old Robbie I hope he will soon be better.

This is Not Funny

Last week I went to have my flu jab and while I was there they offered me another injection, I think it was to protect against pneumonia, I can't remember, but I took both injections anyway. If I get the flu or even just a bad cold I often end up with bronchitis and it always makes my asthma worse, so I try hard to stay well. The nurse put one injection in each arm right at the top close to my shoulder. I always react to the flu jab and within hours both arms were painful, by the following day I felt as if my shoulders were sticking out like an American football player. If anyone touched my arm it was so uncomfortable and it made me want to shout out, I couldn't even lay comfortably in bed. Steadily the discomfort diminished and I was left with a bruise to be proud of, but at least I could forget about it for another year. Then to add insult to injury my breathing started to play up, I started sneezing and now I have a really bad flu type bug, everything aches and I feel dreadful. I know it is just coincidence and nothing to do with the flu jab, but it feels a bit like a sick joke at the moment!
