Just letting you all know I'm not doing well today and might not be around for a few days. I expect to bounce back, and might be fine later, but if I'm like this tomorrow will have to see someone urgently as I'm pretty dehydrated and am failing to resolve at home.

take care xwho is home with you?

This afternoon a friend picked me up to take me to his house to watch Stardust. They have a cinema room in a converted hayloft. Th at was lovely. What was not so good was him staring into my eyes, and asking me to take my glasses off and asking me to see my GP as he thinks I have Jaundice.He is an Ophthalmic vet so I am not his usual species but he is worth listening too.

"What was not so good was him staring into my eyes, and asking me to take my glasses off " At that point I thought he was propositioning you, and it wasn't your glasses he was asking you to take off!

Hmm, just admitting defeat making me feel a bit better, sometimes it works like that huh?

I'm managing to hold down some sips of water so might be ok after all. I cannot do ice cubes, but have FINALLY felt up to risking electrolytes. If I can rehydrate I'll be fine. Hydration is vital on my meds / with my neuro condition.


RP is here tonight spirit ( fir had to phone to explain where electrolytes were as I decided things were bad enough for me not to risk going down stairs...) and talking too much makes me hurl. Tomorrow afternoon RP is off for six days on something pre arranged so fir and I will sort something out. For the day I might be able to call on a friend who works from home to dog sit. If I'm like this I will need regydration help and an anti emetic, but hopefully it can be acheive quickly, it don't know if they do that in community hospitals? Less worried that it would be a few days than I was earlier,. Because I'm not hydrated everything is playing up a bit . Ironically, I'm well rested as it only started this morning, after a great nights sleep, and I've just done that and doze all day.

I had another cup of tea.....

Don't think I got that job I went to the interview for, feel slightly gutted as it felt like it went really well, even if the hours were slightly scary...oh well.

Bummer. Never mind. There'll be another one. Keep going - not that you would ever do anything else!

Postman's just been - and left the gate unlatched again, first I knew was when I heard it flapping and banging about. Annoying as I had to get up and go out to close it - but even more so in that if I were away or out it'd have remained flapping all day and/or all week - annoying and a potential security risk as an open gate's more inviting than a closed one.

Can you fit a spring to it that will close it automatically?
Or grab the postman next time he comes and ask him about it?
Or complain to the post office?

Hope you feel better soon dear LiR. Hugs from Liverpool.

And also from... well, you know where I live.

Glad your later post says you are feeling a bit better. Well done for looking after yourself and seeking appropriate help.

Here's something for Nikkster's shopping basket this week, and next week, and the one after: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2926078/Yummy-yucky-Marmite-Easter-egg-Treat-hit-supermarket-shelves-week-alongside-plain-chocolate-Pot-Noodle-egg.html

Ooh... I've seen Marmite chocolate for sale, but not actually tried it. Although if I had to choose between marmite on toast or some chocolate every day of the month except one I'd choose the marmite (other yeast extract-based spreads are available). No contest.

Crivens LIR! Get well soon.

I'm starting my new job today.:) I got hardly any sleep last night.

1] I could do - and will do - once I get a little handyman to do these odd jobs. Although I could probably rig something up myself with a couple of hooks screwed onto the gate and fence, with some knicker elastic to pull it shut. Still annoying though.

2] He's close to retirement, a portly, huffing/puffing/stooping sort. Seems rude to really. He's chirpy enough.

3] It's not that important that I'd make a complaint about something so trivial in the bigger scale of things in life.

There's this if you can cope with screwing in 4 screws:

Could you have picked up an actual vomiting bug? DS vomited pretty much non-stop for 24 hours earlier this week.

Plenty of things like that going round, lir. Hope you're feeling better soon.
Vibes to you and to Spirit as well.

Opthalmic vet's not a job I'd heard of before. I did once wonder if there were such things as veterinary pharmacists. Still don't know.

And this on the same page as marmite chocolate. This is very much a vocabulary-expanding thread.:cool:
