Woke Tuesday feeling fine a 6 am had brekkie and by 9am was in ambo into intensive care
Been very long time since I’ve been that sick and it hit like freight train
Walked to bedroom. Could not get warm gasping for breath teeth chattering like hypothermia
Could barely get a message to partner to fetch. She arrived from dog sitting in ten min. And ambo close behind
Finally found out have blood sepsis
Scary shite. About as miserable as I’ve ever been
Still not out of it but out of intensive care and into regular care. Goes in and out of feeling okay then miserable

Scary stuff. Get well soon.
but tasted grrrrreat as Tony used to say
So pathetic. Nurse and I were laughing she’d never seen so many leads so took a pic
Wordle in three
happy with that given limitations of health and using phoneHealth improving. Bug identified and being eradicated with prejudice
Leaves me feeling bit ordinary
They have a lovely balcony on second floor overlooking esplanade and ocean. Had lunch and supper there

Moving on. Have permission to ride tomorrow.
Was quite surprised at temperatures. Will layer up a bit at bedtime.
Good timing for my spiffy new gloves
Forecast to 17 tonight....well layered in bed just now.
Feel Good movie tonight and now wrapped in an Itchy Boots hoodie for sleep.
...........
Back to bed despite sunshine ....want to get toastie warm and I a feel a bit of sugar sleepiness after brekkie. I have no glutide in me so likely feeling sugar swings especially given tuna/pasta feed plus Anzac bickie.
Will let nature take its sleep course since temps are so low in the mid 20s all day for riding.
Looking forward to Bowls tonight.

Decided against a ride today as head cold seems not to want to leave and we will be going to Bowls tonight which at least gets me out of the house.
I'm not approved to take my decongestant yet which may change things tomorrow. Sure would have helped today.
