Irony

We were really hoping the steroid tablets would work and at every cough over the last few days I wondered if it was the last....

But the cough didn't clear up and I felt the same at the end of the course. Worse than that was to follow because 2 days after the course had finished I started to feel poorly again, very feverish and tired. Turns out I was having withdrawal side effects.

Back to the GP, but unfortunately there is nothing more they can do, so hopefully they can arrange  an earlier appointment at the consultant to try a different course of treatment.

All the time I've been ill I've tried to carry on with my life as much as possible, and I'd planned a lovely birthday weekend. Fortunately, I was able to enjoy the Emma Bridgewater pottery on Saturday, but I've had to postpone the trip to Ironbridge with Sarah and the family to next week. I'm very grateful to all my family and friends who support me even when I'm pretty miserable and fed up with being ill.
