reborn on the 4th July

Still feeling so ill just getting no better I can honestly say I do av flu its something I av never experienced b4 and its def the worse illness iv ever had , I dont know how I got through the last few days with work , when waking in a morning my body is telling me I need to stay in bed but my mind is telling me to get up I know I really should be off work but its just not that easy , workin today then off tomorrow and managed to get into docs in the morning

Over the last few days I av felt so wiped out that I haven't done anything other than work and sleep , had no energy to come on here but just wanted to update my diary as I know the longer u leave it the harder it gets to post

Castle.

Fella i missed your 5.15 update.

Something which like clockwork normally kick starts my day.

You take good care of yourself my friend.

Never forget it is you that counts most.

Look after number one.

Hope the flu clears up soon.

Dunes stepping forward never back.

Hi Castle

Hope you have had a better day and have been able to rest with not being at work.

Did the GP prescribe any antibiotics, if so they should hopefully kick in within a day or so (do they prescribe antibiotics for flu?)

Hope you shake it off soon.

Have a great gamble free weekend mate

Woke yesterday morning feeling slightly better went to doctors and he just said yes its the flu due to been working its goin to take longer to recover from it as I had just not given my body a chance to fight it , no antibiotics for it just keep taking paracetamol , so spent all day in bed yesterday staying warm , this morning I feel a little better again but no way fully better , but its a start compared to how I felt Tuesday which was the worse day looking back I dont know how I got through it , hopefully from now on everyday I will get stronger , I will never forget this last week and how I felt for a very long time dont ever want to feel like that again

Hi castle

Sorry to hear you have been ill, glad you are starting to get a tad better.

Have a good weekend

Hi Castle,

Sorry 2 hear that u have been ill, I am glad u r starting 2 feel a little better!

Look after urself 🙂

I am thinking of u 🙂

Take care xx

Still knocked off my feet just simply drained of all my energy , working whilst having the flu was the worst thing I could av done looking back as now my body is just not recovering , its weird as I feel so much better than I did this time last week and if I compare it to that I dont feel bad but then taking that away and dont compare it to anything and just how I feel and I feel poorly just not right , it seems that this is how I will feel forever now my new life as such and I really dont like it

Like everything else in my life I'm just hanging in there , some good news the pension info came through so thats now with solicitor so now a date can be set for decree absolut , will still be a few weeks no doubt then hopefully another step forward can be taken and an end to all the stress can be taken away which will be a huge relief

hey Castle

When your ill all your defences are low...must feel like you're dragging a heavy load around if its the flu...

Perhaps your body is getting rid of the old to make way for the new..a big clearout..but you wont feel like this for ever ..that I can promise..

Another step to your stress ending too with more moves forward...and a closure on the ongoing paperwork and phone calls.

Relief is the word ...being able to breathe again.

keep warm..

Is it feed a cold and starve a fever?...I never know which way round that saying is.

Feel best iv done for last 2 weeks and hopefully starting to find my feet again , I do feel as though I need some time off from work just to switch off from it , I still av a week to take b4 end of march and will sort that out soon

Not a lot other to say like I said its just been work and sleep for last 2 weeks , did manage to take jess to cinema to see wreck it Ralph which she loved , for me I must av slept through half of it which was a shame as the bits I saw were really good

Hi castle,

Glad to see your feeling a little better , being ill zaps all our energy and sometimes the body just says enough is enough.

Rest up as and when you can and remember work will still be there , putting yourself before that is hard when your so committed , but a burnt out castle will be no good to anyone.

Take care of yourself

Hi Castle,

I am thinking of u!

Hi King,

Sounds like you have had a real rough ride fellah....remember I was like it few weeks ago....I'm firing on all cylinders now...hopefully you will get there soon.

Anyway good excuse to go back to the cinema and see the film again.....bet Jessica would be up for it...d**n....I just need to find a kid to take!

Sounds like divorce nearly done?

Hey fellah.....2013 gotta be a whole lot better than 2012!!!

Ooooh....meant to say....Happy Thursday!

Thanks everyone for ur kind posts

Had an embarrassing moment at work yesterday , I went to a managers meeting and nodded off bout ten mins in woke to everyone laughing ! It was all took in good heart , just still to tired au the moment and not back to full health by a long way

The physical side was bad enough but the mental side was much harder I av had to draw on my reserves to get through this my brain has not been functioning as well and know my guard has been down feeling quite sorry for myself and def not thinking straight

It will get better in time to come that I know just need to focus and keep on the straight and narrow , funny sometimes what life throws at us I never saw this coming and the tests it would throw at me

Hi Castle

The mind can play tricks when your defences are low and illness does make it harder to keep your guard and defences up.

When I was having a wine too many and for me that is one bottle, it used to take me 3 days to recover physically but it left me mentally weak so if any small thing came along to deal with it felt like a mountain. .

Its a wonder no one videoed you as you nodded off! lol

In your last sentence there,it reminded me of that saying you may know already ...

"In life you get what you need ,not always what you want..."

And I guess for all of us we needed to all go to the same school of learning ...lol..class of 2012

Hey Castle

Thanks for your post on my diary the other day.

I'm pleased you are starting to feel better and that your pension info has come through which will allow you to move things along.

I used to work with someone who regularly fell asleep in meetings. He would ask me to sit by him and give him a nudge when he nodded off !!!

Keep strong mate, you are doing great
