Nee Nah, Nee Nah

In the ambulance.
Felt a bit slow and lethargic this morning, but it's my day off, so I had arranged to meet Heidi to do a bit of shopping in the morning and then to go on to lunch with the twin mums. Whilst at the shops I felt ill... dizzy, light-headed, sick and faint. I had to sit down on a shop floor. 


Paramedic, Curly Fries.
Heidi called an ambulance, which arrived sometime later (as we were in a shopping centre and they couldn't gain direct access). Whisked off to hospital, Princess Alexandra in Harlow this time (I need a tour T-shirt). Tommy rushed home from work to meet me in my private side ward, where they carried out numerous checks, to find that my blood pressure was lowering and that my potassium levels were also low as well as my iron levels. Also dehydrated. Ooh the joys of chemo. 
My chauffeur.
I slept in between tests in the hospital and then was discharged a few hours later. Missed lunch with the twin mums. Julie picked the children up from school and took them home to hers for tea and then onto a fireworks display. Tommy brought me home and I slept. 
I stepped on a cheerio this morning… Does that make me a cereal killer?
