Very Tired

First full day at home and struggling a bit. Still have headaches and some problems with my vision, these will improve over the next few weeks, I was also warned that I would be very tired and again that is going to take some weeks to improve and I have been sighed off work until at least the 4th Jan. So jobs know take a little longer than usual.

A little ill

Been in the Royal United Hospital again. This time turned out to be a little serious. I had a problem with my ears for a while and last weekend we were due to visit both sets of parents and my Sister. We made it to mine on the Saturday but I was a little unwell with a severe Headache. We made it home but Sunday the Headache got to the point where an emergency doctors visit was required, they thought I had perforated eardrum.Prescribed Antibiotics and sent me home.Monday arrived and rapidly became very unwell with headache,sore neck and sickness. I also became very confused and speaking rubbish. Fiona rang for a Doctor and the next I knew was that I was being taken to the park where an Air Ambulance was waiting! I missed out on a ride as I was too confused and agitated. So it was a blue light job to the RUH where it was discovered I was suffering from a form of Meningitis. I spent until Wednesday in a fairly confused state until the Antibiotics cut in. I am now home where I have to take things very easy for a few weeks.

That's Britain

That's Britain is a new BBC programme which give us the chance to sound off about things we love and hate. the first two programmes have had a couple a things I have a personnel interest in. The first was on bringing back Bus Conductors. it seems a lot of people would like to see them back. Their reasons seem to revolve around unruly behaviour and that the driver has no control. I have to say I have had very few problems with passengers as I firmly believe it is YOUR attitude and behaviour that sets the tone for the passengers. I think it would take a lot to bring Conductors back as buses are designed for 'single man' operation. The second feature was on doorstep milk deliveries. We have had milk delivered for several years now and with the arrival of the Milk and More website can change our order any time up to 2100 at night. One thing we found was that our weekly spend on food went down. How often have you gone to a shop for milk and come out with just milk?
