Given the rattle when I breathe and chunks of green metallic tasting slime I'm coughing up, I think I have a mild chest infection yay.

I've caught Kissyfur's super sore throat. No energy, can't speak, can't swallow

And now a fucking police helicopter is doing laps overhead. Just fucking fuck off!

They're busy hunting down that t-shirt of yours.

Things are not going great at the moment. I've just had a £60 parking fine. Arses.

Remember when I mentioned I broke a mirror a couple of weeks ago? Yeah, I remember it too....

You got a free mirror though.

A rather stressful 24 hours. We spent 12 hours at A&E yesterday with my Dad who was really struggling for breath, getting dizzy and was struggling to take a few steps. We left him in the Acute Medical Unit there overnight and he seemed to have settled (hospitals can be rather isolating, but to a deaf person, even more so, so he was rather agitated for a while). Worryingly he was regularly getting his words mixed up.. he'd end substituting the word 'potato' for the word he meant without realising it. Even when it was pointed out, he'd re-sign what he was saying and make the same mistake again.

However, I've just come off the phone with my brother who is with him at the moment and he's apparently doing better today - the confusion has gone and he's able to walk around a bit and he's laughing a joking a bit. Hopefully it's now just a case of getting his fluids up further so he can have a scan to get an all-clear. Then maybe home in a couple of days.

Horrible stuff all the same though.

My mum sent my dad a message asking him to bring her blue handbag when he came to visit in case she was released that day

I'm sorry to hear the bad news folks... I hope they make a speedy recovery!

@Devilman Any idea what the problem is? Forgetting words and losing coordination could be signs of a stroke? I'm sure the doctors would have explored this though so don't take my word for it. It was just what sprung to mind when reading your post.

That's what Brock Lesnar had. He had to have a significant amount of intestine removed.

He bravely saw it out though.

My Mum had Diverticulitis in the end.

To save you Googling "Diverticulitis occurs when the bulging sacs that appear in the lining of your large intestine, or colon, get acutely infected or inflamed."

It can be quite serious in older people and she just passed it off for 2 days as a bug before gong to the hospital.

So they pumped her full of antibiotics and she has a 10-day course to take at home, other than that she is ok
