Not such a good weekend
Posted: 17 Jul 2022, 23:08I was at the Fete National (Bastille day), celebrations and broke my diet to have a melon starter, a steak and a few chips. I was drinking bottled water and a couple of tins of perrier.
By Friday Lunch I was in agony and feeling really unwell, stomach really upset and the runs. Then I took an immodium. Big mistake, close to instant emetic. I only realised this later at 4am when I had dragged myself out of bed to soak my bad knee in the hot tub. The hot chlorinated air was setting my stomach off. More emetic. I did, however, after this, get back to sleep. But. I was leaving for Calais at lunch time to I had to get up at 07:30 and start packing my car then doing all the final jobs Mrs S needed done before I left.
I think I've narrowed the culprit down to the fact that Firemen had all the bottles and cans in a large container of water and ice. I have no idea where the water came from, but it was not possible to get it all off the two can's of perrier I drank. Local well water does this to me which is why I don't touch any water outside unless it comes from a bottle or a can.
I got on the road yesterday morning and realised my mother had been trying to phone me. I called back and found out that my Aunt, recently diagnosed with Dementia, had fallen out of bed and died that morning.
Not a weekend to be remembered. At least I'm starting to feel better. Need to mail my Uncle but he's asked that we don't hassle him right now. Time to think about what I say.
I hope everyone had a Much better weekend than mine.
