The Curse of March
Posted: Mon Apr 04, 2005 4:23 am
Hi guys
I just thought I'd share with you the events that made March worst month of my life. (I've tried to cut it short so as not to bore you with my whining!)
We're renovating our house, so not long ago I was living in a house that resembled a building site with no carpets, no kitchen, no bathroom, no sofa, a lounge and bathroom wall knocked down and no gas central heating or hot water. The dog was disgusted at living in such conditions, so she moved in with her nanna.
So out shopping with hubby in tow and I collapsed and passed out. Taken to the hospital to be put on a heart monitor. I was let out the same day but had to go back a few days later to be out on a 24hr heart monitor. (I'm still awaiting the results).
So while off work for 2 weeks the house got a bit better. Electrics sorted out, new central heating and a new bathroom suite. Whilst off I took my mum, sister and 9 month old niece out for dinner. On the way we were in a car crash. A white van drove into us on our side of the road. Luckily, we were all ok my main concern being the baby. We got checked out at the hospital and given the all clear. So my car went off for repair..... :driving:
2 weeks later I was back in work the week before Easter weekend, looking forward to a nice Easter in London. And it didn't disappoint. We had a fab weekend, weather was beautiful as was the city.
Came home to more improvements on the house, but still a long way off finishing. Started to tidy up, bent down to pick a bag up........CRACK!!! My back went. This time I passed out and came round to my husband fanning me with a towel. I was AGAIN taken to the hospital and given strong painkillers for a badly sprained back which had gone into spasm. So another week off work has followed, closely by my father-in-law admitted to hospital with fluid leaking from his heart and my son breaking his thumb.
As you can imagine I'm glad March is over. I'm still in pain but walking a lot better. My son's thumb is in plaster and my father-in-law is having the fluid drained today. My dog won't move back in until she has carpet to sit on and my house should be finished in the next 3-4 weeks.
Thanks to all those listening to my misery. Hopefully April will give me a break
