Difficult Days

The past few days have been very difficult. I have been struggling with blinding headaches and haven't been able to get much sleep at night. Yesterday afternoon I decided to have a "detox" bath in the hope it would help to calm my system down. 

I managed to get out of the bath and lie down. I then went on oxygen but it didn't seem to help much and I went into full on "Crash" mode. I was feeling so ill, my blood pressure plummeted, my heart was pounding and I couldn't move. As I lay there weeping it felt like my body was shutting down on me. Eventually it settled and I was able to get off to sleep and actually slept through the whole night.

Today it feels like the crisis is over. I am doing better than yesterday and the headaches have stopped, which is a great relief. However I don't have much time to regain my strength before the trip home. It is only three days till I start my long journey back to Australia. 

I'm in the Apartment on my own today, as my granddaughters are back at school and my daughter is at work. I have spent the day resting but I still feel exhausted and have very little energy. My health isn't as good as it was when I arrived and I must admit, I am getting a bit nervous about the travelling.

The weather here is still beautiful, the sun is shining and the breeze is cool. At times like this it is the simple things which lift my spirits and help me to get through the day.
