Letting people know where I've been for the last few days. On Wednesday I got really sick really fast. Cutting a long story short I ended up being admitted to hospital, I didn't want to but my brother called an ambulance and the paramedics advised I should go in, and the casualty people admitted me when I got there. Temp too high, blood pressure too low, heart rate too fast, just a load of toos.

It was a good thing that I did stay though as I just got worse. I had terrible vertigo to the extent that the room would roll when my eyes were open and each time I moved it felt like my body was spinning out of control. I spent Wed night hooked up to drips and blood pressure monitors and it really wasn't a good scene.

After that it was just a case of IV antibiotics and fluids and shoved in bed until I could actually move again. I had a bed with sides and everything, which was good because man, I needed those rails to get the leverage to even move an inch. After that though I was moved to a ward where you couldn't lie on your bed during the day, which seems silly to me, but what do I know? Half six in the morning the nurses would come in shouting, time to wake up ladies, then you'd have to get in your chair so the beds could be made, then stayed in your chair all day. I'm just glad the other ladies in the ward were so nice, because man, it was boring when I actually felt well enough to notice. Not helped that they'd done my drip so the tube snaked through the fingers of my right hand so I had no way of holding a book open.

But, I'm out now. I had a scare when they weren't going to let me out because my temp was still up and blood pressure down, but in the end I was let free and have pretty much cabbaged on the couch ever since.

I know James mailed a few of you, but I think he only contacted people he could remember at the time, so I know I've left a lot of people hanging, and I'm sorry for that.

Anyway, that's where I've been. Nowhere exciting I'm afraid.

Good god!! That doesn't sound good at all. I hope you'll be much better soon, dear!!! *hugs tight* *keeps fingers crossed*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I'm feeling much better today, thank you so much.

*hugs back*

[vaudevilles.livejournal.com]

Oh sweetheart! What complete sucktasticness. I'm glad you're out (and that you got made to go in) and hope that you are feeling much much better.

*hugs the Terri gently*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I have to admit, I was pissed when they made me go in at first, but I cringe to think what would have happened if they hadn't.

*hugs back*

[myorangecrush.livejournal.com]

Oh goodness!

Do they know what caused it?

Keep to the sofa and feel better soon, honey!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

They say it was a double attack of a UTI and viral infection. One got hold and while my defenses were down the other attacked too.

The sofa is my best friend right now. I haven't watched so much tv in ages.

Thanks, honey.

[simply-fly-away.livejournal.com]

Oh, Terri. Look after you, love. *hugs*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I will.

Thanks, Charlie. *hugs back*

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

Eeeek! I didn't know at all, I thought you were just busy with "ordinary" things. I'm so relieved to hear that you're better again!! What was the cause? Just a general (very bad) infection? You better take good care of yourself, do you hear! We don't want any lingering problems to crop up later. *looks stern* *sends many, many virtual Chris hugs and strengthening thoughts*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

They say it was a combination of a UTI and viral infection. Which are bad enough of their own but combined for double the misery.

I am taking care of myself though, lots of lounging around and pill taking at the moment. Which to be honest is pretty much all I feel up to. I always know I'm really sick when I don't want to get online, and it wasn't until this morning that I wanted to spend time on here.

Thanks so much for the Chris hugs and thoughts, they're very much welcome.

*fusses over you*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thats just what I need. Thank you.

[seiyaharris.livejournal.com]

Dude, and I was worried I might have mumps! Pales in comaprison **hugs you** Take care hon, you make sure you let thoe boys wait on you hand and foot!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Mumps is nasty, I would have been worried too. How are you btw? You were sick when I last read the flist.

My boys have headed off to a Scout event, but they've been looking after me so I have no complaints in that direction at all.

*hugs back* Thanks, Becca.

[domanivalia.livejournal.com]

I was wondering about you. ♥ I missed you! ♥ I'm so sorry you were sick!!! ♥ *huggles tiiiiiiight*

Uhm, on another note, lol at the phrase cabbaged on the couch because we say "couch potatoe" for the same kind of thing. Hehehe

Thanks for all the love, honey. It's much needed and appreciated.

LOL. I was totally a cabbage these last few days ;)

[msktrnanny.livejournal.com]

Scary! I'm so glad you're ok! :clings:

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It was scary, on Wednesday night I felt so helpless. It's a feeling I'd hate to revisit.

*clings to you*

[ephemera.livejournal.com]

I am *so glad* to see this post!

You poor bunny - that sounds like no fun *at all*. Do you know what caused it, or ??

*loves on you gently*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I know you've been worried and I'd do anything to change that.

They decided that I'd picked up a viral infection that combined with a UTI. It seems I'm just that special that I can get both at once. Or more likely one took hold and while defences were down the other kicked in too.

Love you, XXX

[ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com]

eeeep!!! was it--- flu or what? *hugs carefully* I'm so happy you're out now. *smooches*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

They think it was a combination of an UTI and a viral infection. Bad enough on their own but in combination they really knocked me off my feet. But, I am out and feeling much better.

*mwah* Thanks, honey.

[claire.livejournal.com]

Eek! Hope you're OK now!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I'm on the mend, which is great.

Thank you.

[tara]

Yikes, that's not good at all, sweetie. I'm glad you're feeling a bit better now and that you've escaped from the ward of boredom. *hugs*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I'm feeling much better, thank you. *hugs back*

[nopseud]

{hugs tight}

It's good to see you back, babe, and I'm glad you're feeling better.

R. says hi!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Tell R back, though he's probably gone now.

I'm feeling much better thankfully. I always know if I don't want to eat and don't want to get online, I really am sick ;)

Thanks for keeping in touch with James btw. He'd come in and tell me what people were saying :)

*hugs back*

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

Oh, Terri. Honey. *hugs you tight* I'm glad you're doing/feeling better! *smishes you* How scary for you, and for James and Corey. I hope everyone's okay after all that.

*hugs you some more*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I'm feeling much better now. Not 100% yet but well on the way.

*hugs back* Thank you.

[bayouskye.livejournal.com]

HOly crap! Do they have any idea what caused it all to happen in the first place? I'm so glad you're well enough to be back at home again. Make sure you keep taking it easy!

*hugs*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

They think it was a combination of a viral infection and a UTI. Getting one then while my defenses were down the other kicked in too. Which sucked a lot. But I am feeling much better now, and no worries. I'm totally taking it easy.

Thanks, honey.

*hugs back*

[daisydust.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you're feeling better! You've been missed.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, honey.

[frayen.livejournal.com]

Oh hun! Glad your out now. I hope you feel better soon!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I'm feeling much better. Thank you :)

[rikes]

Meep! Feel better soon, honey. Hospitals suck because they're so boring.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Hospitals really are boring. I was so glad to get out of there.

Thanks, honey.

[pensnest]

Yike! I'm very glad to know you are better enough to be back home, you look after yourself, now! *hugs*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty much spending most of my time watching tv right now, with a little net time thrown in. A few days and I'll be as right as rain. *hugs back*

Thank you.

[soul4poetry.livejournal.com]

I knew there had to be something wrong because it's not like you to go that long without posting. I'm glad you're better now! :D *hugs*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I always know I'm really sick when I can't get online *g*

Thanks, honey. *hugs back*

[justinsgayhero.livejournal.com]

That sounded pretty scary, glad your doing better Terri. Take care of yourself hon.*hugs*.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It really was scary.

Thank you. *hugs back*

[trumpeterofdoom.livejournal.com]

Eek! Oh my goodness.I hope you're feeling much better now. Get well soon!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I'm getting there. Spending time lounging and watching tv. I think it's pretty much all I've done for two days now.

[stellamira]

Huh. Not a nice experience, I guess. I'm glad you're back home and better.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It wasn't at all.

Thank you :)
