ok so to bring you upto date.
Its been a week since my last post and upto a certain point not a lot has happened. Up until Friday night the week had been a 'normal' week consisting of a few days in, a couple of days out, walking the dog, talking with friends, surfing the net, playing xbox and watching dvd's.
We took my mum home on the 28th. She really enjoyed her holiday and now she wants to move up here so we are spending a fair amount of time looking for a flat for her.
There is a new shop opened in our town centre called Thats Entertainment and its a very erm....addictive store. They sell cd's, dvd's and games and the majority of them are what is known as 'replay' or 'second-hand'. Now they are all guaranteed and are quality items. They do have some new stock but these as you would expect are higher in price. The second hand stuff varies in price from 99p each to 6 for £5. Some of the dvd's are 3 for £5. Some are 2.99 each etc. They are actually online and if you are looking for some of the older cd's and dvd's then i would highly recommend them.
I managed to pick up the Rambo trilogy on Blu-Ray for £10 and they were new !!
Also got Run Fatboy Run on Blur-Ray for £3
Picked up a lot more from there and got some real good bargains.
Havent had the best of the weather for the last week and there has been intermittent sunshine, severely heavy rain, gale force winds and even some thunder and lightning (welcome to English summer.........lol)
ok so thats the normal stuff out of the way.
As i have mentioned in a previous post i have not been too well lately and the spates of dizziness and vomiting three times a day came to a head Friday night. Early in the evening i started to get a headache and me being me waited a couple of hours to see if it would go of its own accord. At round about the same time i also started to get a burning sensation in my chest which i again left for a couple of hours. At about 10.00pm I decided that enough was enough and took a couple of chewable Rennie for the burning. At 11.40pm my headache hadnt gone so i took a couple of soluble co-codamol. We sat down to watch Surgical Spirit and as I was sitting there the burning sensation seemed to be easing and my headache slowly fading. We went to bed at about 2.00am and I tried to lie down. On my side it was agony so i tried to sleep on my back. That was even worse. I tried to hold on for as long as possible but in the end Deb called for an ambulance for me. She had wanted to straight away but i wanted to see if it would go of its own accord. By this time i felt like my chest was on fire and that may stomach was caving in. My first though was that i had a perforated ulcer. Anyway an ambulance came and i was taken to the Victoria Hospital where i remained for 13 hours. I was x-rayed, injected, drip fed and had various tests. The good news it was not my heart. They thought it might have been Pancreatitis (but i think this has now been ruled out). I have got to go for something called a Gastroscopy but it is looking more and more likely that it is in fact an ulcer. I will keep you up to date.
I am now on medication and have to take things even more easier than before. Deb has been amazing and says no matter what it is we will get through it together. We got home yesterday at just after 3.30pm and other than returning to the hospital at 7.30 to fetch my medication we did little else. We watched a movie at about 9.30pm (eight legged freaks) and after it had finished at 11.00pm we turned in for the night as we were both worn out. I cant believe it but we actually slept for over 12 hours (tired isnt the word).
