Hello all,

Im so sorry I didnt see you all sunday........lol I've had a
nightmare week!

I woke up sunday morning got all ready for the walk and everything,
however my boyfriend, Danny, had been throwing up most of the night,
we went to a BBQ the day before and thought maybe he'd eaten a dodgy
sausage, so we were both knackered, despite that danny said he'd drop
me off so we got the kids in the car and headed over to coggeshall,
we were running late, found the car park eventually but you had all
gone! We drove about a bit to see if we could see you, but had no
luck, then on the way home I started to get a sore throat and my
glands on my neck really swelled, well the rest of the day I got much
worse, my temp shot up to 40 and I had to go to bed, by the evening
NHS Direct called out an ambulance because I couldnt get my temp
down, they gave me something and told me to go to the docs in the
morning, danny was still very ill aswell.

We were both rough monday, I went to the docs and they said I had
tonsilitus, so went home with medication, tuesday, I rested and danny
seemed ok with the sickness but got a pain in his side, which got
worse throughout the day. Wednesday morning I was up at 4am and
couldnt breathe, my glands had swelled so much my throat was closing
up, I took some medication and went back to bed, later I woke up and
was worse I tried to take a paracetamol to get my temperature down
and got it stuck in my throat, called NHS direct, they adivised for
the next half hour what to do to get this pill unstuck, it was scary,
then they told me to go back to the doctor, so I made an appointment
for the morning, danny was throwing up again, and his pain got worse
so he made an apointment aswell.

I went to the docs they took one look at me and told me I had
Glandular Fever and Tonsilitus, was given double dosage of 3
different liquid medicines, Danny went to the docs in the afternoon,
he had an appendicitus!! So he was whisked off to the hospital and
had his appendix removed thursday night, he was discharged Friday
evening, we are both now recovering and looking after eachother,
however I'm playing nurse too, you can just imagine what it was
like...... me like death warmed up, danny shouting out in pain and a
3 year old and 4 month old in the background......what a week!
Thing is I've had glandular fever before but it was never like this
and I thought you can only get it once! I still feel rough and now my
eyes look like I've been punched.

Ahum... however I WILL be coming to the next walk so help me god! x
