No good news today

Comment Published at 22:4022:4023 comments23 comments52 Visits52 VisitsReport

For all of you waiting for an update from Janice on our trip, I'm afraid there will be a delay - and you'll have to put up with me, Steve. Just as we were starting to reacclimatise from the trip and recover from jet lag, Janice was struck down by what we now know is pneumonia. She had not been well for a few days, but by the end of last week she was very ill. Of course, being a stubborn female she had refused to go to the doctor, but as an equally sensible male, I insisted, and took her on Friday. Then I get a rousting from the doctor for not bringing her in earlier - where's the justice in that ?  He thinks it is viral pneumonia, probably contracted on the plane trip home from Hawaii. The cabin was hot and everyone was coughing and sneezing !   He told me to call an ambulance to take her to hospital if her breathing got any worse, but as a result of my magical nursing prowess, that was not neccssary !  She is on very strong anti-biotics and tomorrw she has to have a chest x-ray, as the doc thinks that one lung has collapsed.  So we are taking one day at a time and hope that she starts to improve. She sees the doctor again tomorrow. So thank you all for your messages of concern, I will keep you posted over the next few days.

So now I must dash to cook dinner, light the fire, do the washing, clean the house, mow the lawn ......... my god you women have it easy !!

Bye, Steve

At least someone is looking after her, naughty girl for not wanting to go to the docs!  Tell her off from me and then give her a big hug and let her know i hope she recovers soon.  XX

Re: No good news today

Thanks for the update Steve! And well done for draggin gher to the doctors as early as Friday - the doctor obviously has no idea about what a challenge that was! A whole medical degree and no idea about life's little realities!!! Well done too with the good nursing keeping her at home - hope the antibiotics help real soon and the xray gives the doctor plenty to go on. Tell Janice I'm praying for her speedy recovery, and for lots of energy for you to wait on her hand and foot until then!

Thanks Steve,

Hope Janice starts to listen now.  that is one problem us independent ladies have, not admitting when we need a little bit of help.

I kind know what she is going through.

On my 5th lot of antibiotics (2 mild 3 strong) 7 weeks in and still blocked ears, chest infection and asthma. I get puffed out eating a pear.

I hope Janice is well again soon, best wishes.

Re: No good news today

Thanks Steve for the update, I was telling Jess before that Janice was not well and Jess asked if she had gone to the hospital and my answer was, she is such a stubborn woman I doubt it and Jess said oh believe me Steve will make her lol..... and well we were both right lol......

Jess had sent you an email and was hoping you would receive it, if not she wanted you to know she was thinking of you and sends her love.....

So I will keep you both in my prayers and thoughts and you give that stubborn woman a small kick up the backside from me only a small one after all she is sick lol.....  No give her a big hug and a kiss and tell her to do as she is told and rest up.

Love Fi xxxxxx

Re: No good news today

Thank you so much for the update Steve, when I read in Margs blog that Janice was unwell, I was praying and hoping that it wasn't too bad.

Anyway I wish her a speedy recovery..  All the best and Steve you also look after yourself you will be buggered after all that house work.

Take care - Angie
