Who had a crap weekend?

[MissCommando]

I was really looking forward to the weekend, no work and my brother and his gf were coming up to stay. Yesterday morning my husband was sick, then went to collect the online shopping, I thought he was better then. My bro arrived about 11am, my daughter was so excited to see them. My husband drove us all to look for a present for my mum but I was scared when he was driving as he was so tired (his eyes were almost closing) and felt so ill. The day ended up with my husband sleeping in the car, feeling sick while we went round the shops. Got home and he felt even worse, throwing up in bed with a pounding headache (a bloody migraine)! The best part is that he is now on tablets for migraines as he had a horrendous one in March which caused him to have vertigo and slurred speech. Thankfully his speech was ok. My bro and his gf went home at 10pm, an hour and a half drive. I then had to deal with my daughter crying her eyes out. Hopefully they'll come up again next week.

My husband felt bad for ruining the weekend but it wasn't his fault, just sod's law. I am worried about him though as he is very stressed at the moment, he has raised a grievance against his work and is awaiting their outcome of his appeal and then we have no option but to take it to a tribunal. I am worried it's too much, he never sleeps and I don't know whether he should get signed off for a while. Hmmm, sorry, this should have been in B&S.

Did you have a crap weekend and why?

[mrsmaveric]

what an awful weekend...your husbands health is paramount as im sure you know.. sounds like he is stressed to the max...hope things improve for you both...

When you have Parkinsons,Bowel cancer, a stoma with a hideous hernia most days are crap,but i have the support of Mrs Owd, and we battle on

I've also had a migraine since Friday night, and I also get vertigo with it. It was so bad it made me cry.

[MissCommando]

owdhamer - I'm so sorry and you most probably think I'm moaning about nothing. I was just peed off last night reading people's FB statuses, such trivial things and I wanted to slap them - just like you could prob slap me lol!

Health is the most important thing ever! Puts the biggest stress on you.

[mrsmaveric]

you have just put things in perspective owdhamer...take care x

[MissCommando]

TOWIE - are you on any medication? Do you get them regularly? They can be so debilitating. *Touch wood* I've been lucky enough not to have suffered with one.

[DTCwordfan]

(i) you should have him checked out, if you haven't already, as a break may indeed help, MissC.

(ii) I guess it is "day by day" owd; you are lucky to have the support of mrs owd and the positive view to going forward as best you can.

A quiet, wet weekend.

I understand how you feel Owdhamer. Keep cheerful.

[owdhamer]

I am not having a dig miss.my day has not been good,had to go to bed at lunchtime. I hope hubby is well soon and wins his tribunal, back on the chemo Wed for me.

[TOWIE]

I take Stemitil for the dizziness, Miss. C. - Though when I get a 'dizzy migraine' I don't have a headache with it. I get a headache if I have a disturbed vision migraine. Not sure why.

Sorry to hear about your weekend, mine was ok, saw the Olympic torch relay, won a few quid on the tennis and now got 3 days off

It sounds as he is too stressed, a bit of R&R is what he needs. Get him to see his doctor. Hope the work issue works out for him.

[mrsmaveric]

try and stay strong owdhamer....as stokemaveric would say ''the odds are in your favour''..xx

[owdhamer]

The advice to see your GP is sound and press for a second opinion if need be. Thanks Mrs maverick,the horse we had share in had to be destroyed at Catterick,so we bought into Rory Boy

[mrsmaveric]

ill tell stokemaveric when he gets home on tuesday owdhamer...im sure he will have a couple of £££££ on rory boy when it runs lol xx

[MissCommando]

owdhammer - good luck for Weds! I know you weren't having a dig at all. I really feel for you, I never know what to say in situations like these but I wish you all the best! So glad you've got a supportive wife :)

[Smowball]

Yes, a really crap one, but compared to owdhammer then no

[pusskin]

Good luck for Wednesday owdhamer, will be thinking of you as I will my brother who starts his chemo on Tues. Bless ya x

Miss commando, hope your hubby soon feels much much better too.
Hope he catches up with some good sound sleep x

If he was throwing up with a pounding headache (and he hadn't been drinking) he definitely needs treatment. I also have had a crap weekend but I will have to shake it off by 9pm tomorrow !

[thenry]

9 am ! x
