Good.......you're still alive then Just checking.

Yep, still here I'm afraid!!!

Now a very strange thing happened earlier. I had a bath, but Dave said it shouldn't be too hot and he didn't want to spend another night in casualty and suggested a shower, but I really wanted a bath. Anyhoo, all of a sudden, as I laid in it, I suddenly felt normal again the pain had stopped in my head everytime I shifted direction, and everything seemed all clear again, can't explain it, but I felt quite good again, so can't complain about that.

An hour later, as I was sitting in the recliner, stuffing me face with a sausage sarnie, I felt this big lumpy sausage shaped thing around the front of my neck oooer I said to Dave, what's all this swelling along the top of my collar bones at the sides of me neck then?? He said he hadn't studied my neck that close to notice, but of course, I know my own body, so Iknew it wasn't usually there, so I kept prodding it and left it.

Half an hour later, that has now all gone???!!! Could that have been fluid I wonder that was trapped up there in my skull.......the only problem being, where's it heading now!! Fluid's ok though isn't it??? If it was a big clot it would be in a blood vessell, and be all pumping, but this was just sitting there, not painful or anything. Oh well, we'll have to wait and see if I'm here in the morning then....again!!!!

It'll take more than a swollen shoulder to drag you off this world but I'll check in tommorrow just to be sure

This ere lumpy sausage thing was at the FRONT of your neck, not at the side? I only ask, cos there are no important arteries and things at the front, so that would rule out a ginormous clot heading southwards I have a friend who had a sausagy lump in her artery, but that was sort of beneath her ear.

Now, you were eating a sausage sarnie at the time (my dear girl.......how very common, have you run out of smoked salmon I wonder ), are you sure that you were eating nicely and didn't swallow a vast lump all in one go?

The hot bath thing is very strange isn't it, but who cares about the whys and wherefores just as long as you are feeling better. Perhaps the heat and steam expanded something and eased the passage for the bruising debris. O heck I don't know.

Hiya H, could be way off but I'm wondering if you maybe have had a touch of a virus going on at the same time? I had woozy, swollen bits etc before but it was just a virus.

I hope everything is ok anyway, you don't sound quite right though!
Hopefully your doctor actually looks at that scan on monday.

I was thinking the same thing Sally, not like Helena at all, but I put it down to the bump on the head

I bet they wern't just common everyday kind of sausages. knowing H and her posh nosh, i bet they were venison, with truffles or something.
You really are having some very strange turns there Helena, are you sure your not turning into an alien.
Joking aside i hope you get sorted soon hun, it must be scarey not knowing what the H is up with you.

I hope you are feeling better today H.

It can't have been anything serious, as I'm still here again this morning! Thanks for trying old bean, I'm just glad it went coz it wasn't a good look mate!!!!

Do I ever???!!! I'm still ok, and fluid sausage lump has not returned....anywhere! Thanks Nic

Yes, there's going to be a lot I can put down to this in the future isn't there H!

Oh you know me so well Lynn They were Mr. Waitrose's finest Outdoor reared pork Gloucestershire off the counter, not the shelf!!! I really don't know Lynn, I've confused the radiographer, I've confused the doctor when he felt the weird lumpy head on that side, and now I've confused meself with this new sausage jewellery!!

I am thanks Gerri!! Still got the pain in the head when I move about, or lie down, BUT, it feels clearer if you know what I mean, I'm out of zombie mode, I could even be returning to my interpretation of what is "normal"!!!!

Just pleased you're still here
