Not so Ughh!

Spent from 3.30pm Saturday to 12 lunchtime Sunday lounging in a hospital bed! Had a gallon of dye poured through a vein to see whether I had a kidney stone or not, seems there wasnt, unless it was a very small one, how could something so small cause so much pain?? If not that, then a kidney infection, so am armed with some foul smelling (and tasting) antibiotics, and made the mistake of Googling the name of them, there was a page full of horror stories of how ill they have made people after only one tablet, well so far I have had 5 and am still standing, so either I am made of sterner stuff or the rest of them are wusses! Someone said that they were woozy, but they had taken co-codamol with the pills, I had some of them Saturday morning and laughed at non-funny things! Wooziness to the max! Am having a rest today, going to mooch around at my own pace and try not to sit down too much, and have to drain at least three reservoirs of water a day I think! OK when I am downstairs, but not so good when upstairs, only loo on ground floor!!
Nice to be home and get a good sleep, although laying around on what was a very comfortable bed and knitting when I felt like it was quite enjoyable, made better when the pains subsided! Got a fair few rows of a Christmas scarf knitted, didnt want a pattern that required concentration so asked for the scarf to be brought in, am going to plug away at that today in between drinking water!

Thanks Sheila, it's nice to rant a little sometimes, where no-one might ever see it, but it gets it out in the open!
