Another Week Off

[debris4spike]

So it looks like the doctor was right ... well, now I am hoping that he is!

I have been signed off for another week - so that will then be the 3 weeks done.  However if I am not beginning to feel a lot better by the end of the week (3 weeks since I started this) I have to go back to the doctors and have blod tests and x-rays. I am just so thankful that I had the flu jab, at least that has helped me fight off the flu infection and I haven't ended up in hospital.

When I phoned work this morning to let them know I had to listen to the switchboard speach that due to high flu infection rate then people are being requested not to visit their family if they can.  So I found it amusing to hear all the warnings about the infectuion I am working with.

On a fun note, as I am so weak Jiffy's walks have been slower than normal, and he has been lovely at waiting for me to catch up ... seems funny as for some time it has been me waiting for him!  One day last week I actually sat on a wall and he came hurtling over and sat infront of me ... he was so, so sweet.

Oh well - hope everyone else has avoided the bugs.
Take care x

Oh, no. Three weeks: I hope you don't have to blood tests and x-rays and that your body heals of its own accord. Blessings, Ju.

Thanks

I seem to have managed to catch a virus most winters - just so frustrating though, as I have loads of things I would like to be doing. But I am being a good girl and resting as much as I can.

I'm so sorry you're still feeling poorly.

[debris4spike]

Aw, thank you x

Oh Deborah, I'm sorry you're so poorly, I do hope you feel better soon xx

[debris4spike]

Thanks very much - however, thinking back, I think last year was the only year the bugs didn't manage to sneak up on me.

There is some nasty crap going around here as well. Luckily, I stay home a lot! ha!

Feel better soon, please?

[debris4spike]

Working in a hospital is a great way to bump into bugs!!! However, I do like my job. Hope you manage to continue to avoid them

Thanks

I'm still at home this week, too. Thursday we'll see about next week too or not. *sigh*
At last I feel better now, day after day. I hope that will be the case for you, too.

And guess what, I fell behind LJ again. But I'll try again :)

[debris4spike]

I have really managed to keep up with LJ over the last couple of weeks (YAY), but I do hope once I am back at work I hope that I can keep up with it

Hope you are soon back on your feet again!

Another week off sounds absolutely required and sensible. I hope that you manage to turn a corner soon and feel you have more energy though as it must feel really depressing to feel so wrung out. I hope you're managing to eat well. My grandma would swear by drinks of bovril if you felt like that - I used to manage some marmite to boost my B vitamins :)

[debris4spike]

Hadn't thought about Marmite - I used to drink that a lot (sorry to your gran, but didn't even like the smell of Bovril!) Seeing as I still don't like the taste of tea, maybe that would be a good change

Thanks
