Crappy Christmas and New Year.

Sadly Christmas 2017 was utter shite!

It was full of Vomit and the dreaded Lurgy, S had started feeling poorly the week before Christmas then of course it spread to the rest of us within days. We all had mild cold symptoms but the post nasal drip was rotten, full of snot on the chest, coughing up big mouthfuls of slime. We were literally drained of energy and barely made it out of bed on Christmas morning, everyone just felt like crap.

Then S was trying to open presents whilst puking all over the carpet, not great. I didn't even bother making a Christmas dinner, nobody had an appetite so we managed a slice of chicken and about 3 sprouts each and even that was a struggle.

Over the course of the week we were all having bouts of vomiting,the chesty cough kept setting my Asthma off so I was practically glued to my inhaler.We all just couldn't be arsed to do anything,still not eating properly and only R managed to eat a bit of chocolate.
No chocolate at Christmas is unheard of in our house, possibly unheard of any day of the week actually.


Then New Years Day came round and I took a turn for the worst, my Asthma was out of control and 111 wanted to send me an ambulance, decided L could get me to hospital quicker so off we went.
5 hours and a chest x ray later I came home with Antibiotics for a chest infection.
Those AntiBs didn't really help but and gave me the pukes and squirts so off to the docs after a few days to see if I could change them to something else and was given some Steroids.Those seemed to help more but was only for a 7 day course,I have now been put on a preventative inhaler which has been helping.We are now 3 weeks into January and I still have a chesty cough which occasionally makes me sick also that nasal drip but thats starting to clear.Everyone else has been fine for about 2 weeks jammy beggars,I think mine has lasted so long as I have Asthma and 2 Auto Immune diseases.


I'm on the mend now, possibly 85% better which is pretty good and I have a decent level of energy which I need as the house still needs the chores doing and the family won't feed themselves.
Hopefully by the next few weeks I'll be back to 100% which I need to be so I can plan for the gardens to be prepped  ready for the growing season.


I will try to keep up with this blogging lark but no promises 😀
