27.05.2026 Richly deserved?

 ~?~

  Wednesday 27th 47F/8.3C [6.05] A sunny day with a northwesterly wind. 19C/66F this afternoon.C.-C

 Up at 5.25 after a disturbed night due to coughing and stomach pain. One of my close medical professional advisers has suggested. That there may be a link between my low blood pressure and fluid on the lungs. 

 My baby sitter will be heading home today. Her patient help has been invaluable during my incapacity. She was cooking as well as washing up and cleaning. A clear cut case of modern slavery.  

 My nose is threatening a bloody red respray this morning. Despite my best effort to redirect violent sneezes around my stinging snozzle.  

 Completely off the subject but have you seen the latest EV obscenity? Which Ferrari has released as a half million pound, oversized, designer, training shoe. For middle management drug ring dealers, mega church pastors and dictators' toddlers? Richly deserved? Dontcha just love nepotism? 🙄

 A constant stomach ache but less coughing this morning. Had a bout of explosive diarrhea. If that's not too much information. I'm blaming the involuntary conversion to vampirism at the hospital! 

 Safely home again after dropping my baby sitter at the bus stop in the village. Shopped on the way back. 

 I have had a call from a physiotherapist in Assens. First class starts on Friday morning. That was quick!

 14.30 66F/19C. Full sunshine. Breezy. The greenhouse is staying cool at 81F/27C. All skylights open and eastern double door. All interior house doors are also open. Continuing and almost continuous, stomach pains.

 Tuesday 26th 57F/14C [7.10]  Promised to be warmer still at 25C/77F this afternoon. Though a more cloudy day.

 Up at 5am after an awful night. Uncomfortable, coughing, sneezing and aching. Nauseous with heartburn when I lay on my side. Pain across my stomach, every time I needed the fire bucket. Which was roughly twice an hour. I told you I haven't been well. 

 A nurse from the city hospital rang to follow up on m recent visit. We had a pleasant chat in my best Danglish.     

 After that it was a long day of drifting between YouTube and slowly exploring the sun filled garden. With occasional naps for good measure. My babysitter planted some of my collection of dark foliage plants and trees. 

Dinner was a beautifully presented salad. Which thankfully stayed down. The toasted bread rolls provided an interesting contrast. I limited myself to only one half and did not risk a sip of red wine tonight. Nor evening coffee.

  Monday 25th 57F/14C [7.30] Bright sunshine all day. Max 22F. S-SW winds.

 Up at 6.20 after a fairly quiet night. Woke to coughing and discomfort. Tried adding cushions under my pillow. Hopeless! Had breakfast and my nose started streaming. So now I'm a mixer tap with noisy plumbing! No sign of bleeding from the offending nostril. So treatment was probably worth the agony it caused me. 

 14.20 72F/22C. Explosive coughs and sneezes have continued. Often resulting in dizziness. This is a known symptom. Where low blood pressure is exacerbated by changing pressure in the lungs. I feel awful!

 I enjoyed the dinner of sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes and mashed potato. Made by my ever-patient baby sitter. Two minutes later it was all resting in the bottom of a bucket. I spent the rest of the evening recovering from severe vertigo. Coughing wetly and painfully and trying not to sneeze. Bed at 10.30. No escape!
