I guess most people know why the blog has been quiet, but I suppose seeing as it's a big thing in my life right now I should put it on so that when I can't remember when it was, I can look back!
I've not been posting recently as I've not been well. It's been a couple of weeks now, in fact the evening before we went to the safari park.
It started when I was brushing my teeth, my heart started racing like mad, I got hot & shivery and generally felt horrible. It was actually pretty scary. I assumed it was a panic attack and moved on. At the safari park it happened a few more times.
The day after that I started getting a pain in my chest as well, which by the Thursday was getting worse. So off I trotted to the doctors. I had an ECG and bloods done which seemed ok. I was put on tablets and referred to the hospital.
The tablets seemed to work, stopping my heart racing. However as the time has gone on I've felt worse and worse. I started off being freezing cold and very tired. I was also wheezing loads. I knew from asking my personal pharmacist (thanks Jenni!) that these were side effects and were ok. Towards the end of last week there was a sick bug going round Kory's nursery. All weekend I felt very sick and barely able to get out of bed.
By today I could also add light headedness into the mix. I feel like I'm coming out of my body or something. Anyway, I decided to put in a call to the docs, who are concerned (though it would seem not overly so as they not seeing me until Thursday!) that the tablets have decreased my heart rate as planned, but managed to lower my blood pressure enough to make me feel ill. Wonderful!
So I'm back on Thursday for another MOT and maybe change tablets. I got my hospital appointment through as well for mid November. So I'm sleeping more than normal, and not actually doing anything worth blogging about. Poor kids must be bored stiff in the house so often.

P.S. Needless to say no more diet for the time being until it's all sorted out.
