I wake at 8am with a sore throat – just what I needed! It hurts to swallow. When I get up (an hour later) I try gargling with a little mouthwash – it stings like crazy, but does seem to anaesthetise my throat a little. I’m feeling a little fragile this morning!
My wife goes off to work. It seems strange to be home without our dog (my wife will bring her back this evening) but I’m glad to be able to stay indoors today. I’m very tired, and my muscles are aching (probably from being immobile for so long yesterday), so I decide to do a couple of pressing jobs (renew my car insurance, which expires at midday today, and contact my dentist about a prescription for the antibiotic that I require before he extracts a broken molar). I could do with giving myself a haircut, but I’m going to postpone that until tomorrow. I bring in a basketful of logs from the back garden, light the fire and sit on the sofa warming my lazy bones.
Symptoms have the upper hand today, presumably because of travelling all the way to Basingstoke and back, and having another very late night. Tremor is being a nuisance at times, I ache all over and I feel completely exhausted – very little in the way of energy. Balance is a touch on the erratic side, and I don’t feel motivated to do anything apart from sit on the sofa. An early night is on the cards – hopefully I’ll feel better tomorrow.
