Feeling decidedly under the weather tonight - I’ve had a headache all evening, and my neck hurts :(
Demi cuddles and bed for you madam and no more screen time tonight.
I’ll definitely be taking it easy today...
You still feeling bad? Is it easier lying down?
It fluctuates all day. It is easier lying down but I don’t want to do that all day lol. At the moment my head is throbbing in the background, there’s pressure back of my eyes and top of my nose itms. I’m getting intermittent blurred vision too. But it’s the headaches that are bugging me the most - and if they’re getting through all the painkillers I’m on.......
(bear) (panda)
Oh love, I wish I had a remedy for you... Pacing and taking it easy I assume?
(panda)
I’ve been doing bits and pieces around the house to limit the amount of screen time I have - nothing too strenuous.
Feeling any better for it?
I’ve actually been asleep most of the afternoon, so I’ll have to get back to you on that ;)
You obviously needed it!
Grrr I’ve always been a fan of NEXT’s online service but I have spent goodness knows how long trying to have an online chat with them to report a faulty item. You can’t get hold of them on the phone, there’s a 10 minute queue just to get a chat session, which kept dropping out and meant having to start a new one - with yet another 10 minute queue! I’m exhausted ......
I hate things like that!
(party) I was woken up by a doggie snuggling up with me, this morning!!!
Aww that's so lovely!
How are you feeling today hunni?
That’s the best way to be woken up.
I’m ok. Having my hair done soon and mum and dad are coming later!!
Sounds like you have the perfect day planned.
Oh yay! A Mum and Dad visit! Hooray!
Have a lovely day!
So, the new org charts came out for Si’s job. There are 4 people across BG and Hive at his level who will be competing for 1 job....apparently they’ll all be evaluated by HR and the one with the most points will get the job. No one can be made redundant until 31 October so that’s how long we have to wait to find out
I know we’re fortunate in that his payout will give us a bit of breathing space, but I’m finding it hard not to freak out.....
4 into 1 doesn’t go. The odds are against him but he could be the lucky one if being the man left doing the job of 4 is considered lucky. I’m sure Si will find something else pretty quick.
That's horribly stressful! I assume he's already looking elsewhere - but he could be the one with the right numbers.....
He could, I’m not sure he wants it.....
Im sorry Paula. I know this stress only too well. Its our story too. Xx(panda)
Everything crossed for Si.....let's hope it works in his favour. Doesn't stop you worry though.
I assume you guys are trying to talk things through with him about it?
Yeah, as much as he ever does....
Oh :( How are you doing with it all? Are you talking? Planning? Job hunting for him? Or just quietly bottling it all up inside?
Ermmmm he says he’s got his cv out there and he’s talking to contacts. It’s likely he’ll be there til the end of the year, and he knows what his package is likely to be, what our savings are and how long it’ll last. Other than that, you know what he’s like....
So he’s done pretty much all he can do. Sounds like he’s got everything covered. I totally get that the uncertainty is a nightmare but it’s all out of your control for now.
He's sensible enough and will have all bases covered..
How are you feeling atm? Still having IIH symptoms?
Intermittently. Currently, my nose feels like somethings pressing down on it.
How did your eye appointment go?
Just to update you all, Paula has been sent to A+E as her pressures are really high and her pupils are really sluggish. She's struggling with anxiety so they are allowing Si to remain with her. She has been triaged and moved into AAU.
I'll update when I hear things, but I've just told her to put her phone away and ask Si to update me as and when....
Oh no! That’s not good.
She's being looked after which is the main thing..
Yeah but even so I can totally get why she’s fretting. This wasn’t what she expected. I have a bit of a thing about my eyes so I think I’m freaking out on her behalf but as you say, she’s in the right place to be looked after.
Sorry to hear this as she is such a brave lady.
