So over the last week I've been very ill. Friday morning I went back to my doctor who did ECG etc and declared that I had pneumonia. She wanted to admit me to hospital but I don't stay in hospitals. I was born in one - end of! Later that day back at home I took a turn for the worse (I didn't think I could feel any worse). I admitted defeat and a paramedic was dispatched by the doctor. She did the second ECG of the day and told me my temperature was 107°. She gave me some oxygen (it's vile; I mean I know it's essential but.....)
After my first ambulance ride wWe arrived at the hospital and I was loaded on to a wheelchair and admitted for 7 hours of tests. A third ECG (I could have done my own by now), five phials of blood (is this a secret way to get blood donations?!) Naturally the doctor had to look like a young George Clooney whilst I looked like s**t! Unfortunately it was one of the busiest nights of the year, bonfire night. A&E resembled downtown Beirut!
The final verdict was that I do not have phenomena but I do have a viral infection and an upper respiratory infection. I was finally discharged around 9:30pm. I'm now at home again. I'd like to say I'm feeling better but I'm not just yet. I haven't been able to eat for a week. Les is doing a sterling job looking after me, he deserves a medal!
Anyway, thought I'd let you know what's what and I will be back ASAP.
Jeane XO

Hope you're soon back on your feet Jeane. I'm certain you probably do have (and want) phenomena though

Sorry to hear all that Jeane, but glad it wasn't anything tooooooo serious.
You're already small enough not to be able to afford to lose any weight, does Les take you out in his jacket pocket ??
Take care.

Get well soon, Jeane! It must have been the change in the weather. I've just put my pygama top on, to keep warm, and might go up to Tesco's now!

Take care Jeanne - I swear by Bushmills!! 3 ECGs and a trip to hospital tells me that you are characteristically underplaying this. Feet up, girl!
