You are now officially adopted as my cybergrandma if you'll take up the challenge lol!Now at last, I have some GOOD news! All the tests came up with nothing
Am I to believe that then?? I suppose I have to. Dave is not a hyperchondriac (sp?), he never goes to the quack, he never complains, he suffers in silence as I've seen so many times over the past 30 years with these migraines, and I just can't understand why they are so different since 2 weeks ago if there is nothing wrong
So I'm off to collect him, and hope for the best then. He's not going to work that's for sure, and I'm going to hide his car keys over the week-end so he can have a week off next week, coz he's never had more than a couple of days a YEAR for the past 10 years and that's all gotta change. This was a warning, and sometimes you don't get two do ya!I can't thank you all enough for being here for me in my time of need, I really don't know what I'd do without Dogsey during my traumatic times of which there have been a few over the past 8 years as some of you will remember only too well! Let's hope I can r-e-l-a-x for a long time now coz I feel like I really need it. There's nothing like a bit of stress to put another nail in that coffin is there, let alone those lines on my face, or the grey hairs.
Now Bev, things have gotten a bit behind here now, what with all of this going on, (soooo inconvenient with hubby in hospital
) so if you're up for a bit of shoe shining, plant watering, come on down, and don't forget yer feather duster and pinny or those home made cakes!!!
I'll put me feet up now then! Phew! and that's a big PHEW!!!
I dunno which way is up today so I'll probably end up baking your shoes & polishing you with cake Take it easy hunni, relax with him you both deserve it!!!
Bev xx

All is quiet on the home front now, Dave is home and chilling in front of the telly, so are the dogs, Zena is pleased she's got her little pack back together how she likes it, and I'm getting done what I should have been doing over the past 3 days, so back on track.
We've rung the quack and she's prescribed some pills for him and some ab's coz he's got an infection apparently (that could have caused this I suppose along with a bad migraine who knows!).
When I got him home I told him to go out into the garden before I let Zena out because I knew how ballistic she would go and I didn't want any more injuries thanks! OMG, she went berserk at him, screaming her head off, leaping in the air around him with her slipper in her gob, lol it was soooo funny!!! Thankfully, no injuries were sustained in the attack!
One thing I have learned from this episode, well 2 actually. One being Georgie is much, much happier being left outside overnight with the bootroom door open plus we get a proper night's sleep, and the second one is, I don't think we ought to make our proposed move too far away from Dave's workshop just yet, because if ever I were to be ill like this, I'm left at home for 4 days on my own with the dogs, and I might be so ill I couldn't even feed and water them, with no friends to call on coz they'd still be over this way, so I've made a decision, we are still moving, but a lot closer to home, so that Dave can make it home from work each night. It could all be fate ya know! I'm a great believer in fate am I
Anyhoo, I'm taking it easy today, done what I needed, popped into the estate agent and apparently there are now 3 people queueing up to view, so I've told them to shove them all into one slot and get it over with, because the way I like to leave this house for them to view, is extremely difficult for me with 2 big dogs wrecking it, and I'm not going to kill myself off by all this daily cleaning routine, life's too short lol!
Thanks again guys, here endeth another nightmare on High Street then, but I'm sure there'll be more.......
xxxxxxxx

So pleased it's "just" an infection!! Now he must take it easy for couple days so, you can ALL recover.
Sounds like a good plan you have there Mrs H.
Hope the viewings go well and you can put all this behind you
and you get the home you want.
Take care and have a relaxing weekend (right, like thats gonna happen!!
)xxxx

I read this thread with my fingers crossed that he'd be OK xEverything you said at the start of this thread brings back memories
My hubby had headache's like you described, he went to the hospital, they said blaster headache's and sent him home......Few days later he still wasn't well so he went to see the GP, who sent him straight to hospital.After several scans, and a lumber puncture, they still couldn't work out what was wrong with him. They kept him in hospital for 5 days.....
It turned out he had a Chiari Malformation, he was shifted to a hospital miles away where he had brain surgery.
It really was such an awful time, and I'm just so glad Dave is back home with you...
Look after yourselves xx

)2) Bara also prefers to sleep outside and has always done so, in summer we leave the back door open but she rarely comes in.
3) Maybe this is a kind of warning, move, but stay close to where Dave is and that way you'll be able to help each other if the need ever arose. I'm sure there are plenty of places in your vicinity aren't there
