OK, so maybe I’m exaggerating a little, but only a little.
I came down with a perfectly revolting flu-ey bug, at the
end of last week – mercifully the hearing I had, which was listed as a two day
fully contested hearing, settled on the morning on the first day, and equally
mercifully I had opted to travel in by train, as there isn’t much parking near
the court which we were in, so I didn’t have to drive.
I was sneezing and coughing away as we waited, and realised
when I got up to speak that the room was revolving gently around me, so as soon
as we were done, I went home, and went to bed. I pretty much stayed there,
except for brief forays down to the sofa, until Monday. Which I can’t help
feeling was a bit of a waste of a weekend.
I was particularly disappointed as it meant I missed a trip
to the cinema to see the National Theatre Live broadcast of ‘Timon of Athens’, had to cancel a dinner
with my elderly cousin, and (worst of all, because unlike the others I can’t
rearrange it) missed Thea Gilmore’s performance in Bristol on Monday evening. It’s
a damn shame – it’s about 2 years since she last played locally, and I was
really looking forward to seeing her again.
I am not feeling much better – still have an impressive
hacking cough, but it is improving, and I managed a half day at work on
Tuesday, and full days since then.
Today I had to take Tybalt to the vet to have bloods taken –
he has been losing weight again, and not eating well, which is a worry. I took him
to the vet 2 weeks ago, because I was worried about him. He turned out to be
running a slight temperature, so he was given antibiotics and painkillers, and
his review (for his thyroid problem) brought forward from January to today.
He did not enjoy his visit to the vet. He has been subjected
to the indignity of being weighed, and listened to, and having bloods taken,
and his results should be available on Monday.
I am really hoping that this is something which can be
treated by tweaking his meds, and not the effect of new, and different medical
problems.
