Dot and Dave, both still in good health, nearing the road crossing on the way up Corbar HIll.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Not a good week\u00a0for the Lenton family in general. David contracted a very nasty virus \u2013 possibly flu \u2013 and Oliver and Amy had a touch of it too, though they cast it off much more quickly. David is still full of cold and coughing, but says he feels a bit better.\u00a0Meanwhile Andrew has been sectioned, though they haven’t found a bed for him yet.<\/p>\n

Dot and I have done no better. She contracted a very similar virus to the one she had before, and was coughing so badly I insisted she went to see the nurse and got some antibiotics. I think she’s improving now, though we’re both very lifeless. In my case that’s partly because I lost some blood while trying to use my catheter, and we had to call an ambulance. I was also in quite a bit of pain. The paramedics arranged for me to see a doctor, who thought it might be kidney stones.<\/p>\n

The pain got worse the following day, and in the end Dot rang the doctor (a different one), who thought it sounded like an infection and prescribed antibiotics. I asked about pain killers, and she wasn’t keen on anything stronger than Paracetamol, which were actually useless. After taking the first antibiotic I also took some Cocodamol, and this eased the pain enough for me to go to sleep. When I woke up late in the evening, the pain had gone.<\/p>\n

Last night I was very uncomfortable again; so took some more Cocodamol: to be honest I was terrified that the original pain would come back. However, it hasn’t yet, though \u00a0I remain very tight\u00a0round my lower abdomen.<\/p>\n

We cancelled everything for last week, which meant Dot failed to see her team beat Nottingham Forest 5-1, and apart from going to the doctor, I only went out once \u2013 to the supermarket yesterday. I had to get someone else to do my sermon today (the vicar, actually). This morning it snowed, and the sky is leaden \u2013 which is pretty much how we’re feeling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
