A trip to emergency!

Hello ... To the small handful of people who follow this blog!

I am bored. Bored. Bored. Bored!

I was admitted yesterday to Knox hospital and being treated for suspected memengecoccal! Noice! Happy New Year to me!

I developed s slight rash on my upper thigh on Sunday which seemed harmless but looking back I was unusually tired, I actually said to Andrew when will this extreme tiredness end?
Monday I woke up feeling like I was coming down with something, headache achy muscles, but nothing panadol wouldn't fix. The rash had spread to my stomach. I went to the doctors in the afternoon and he said it looked like a viral rash (it didn't look horribly). I had a raging fever monday night for about 6 hours.
Tuesday I felt under the weather and struggled to get off the couch, not an easy feat with 3 little kids!
Wednesday I woke up, the rash had spread everywhere and looked hideous! On top of that I had severe nausea and had my head over the kitchen sink dry reaching until it was time to go to the doctors.
Dr perry took one look at me, called Andrew from his office and asked him to come and pick us all up and take me straight to emergency. He suspected memengecoccal straight away.
So here I am and none the wiser really. I have been reported to the Victorian department of health and Andrew and the kids have been treated just incase. Vicki and Steve have also been contacted by Qld health because we stayed with them on new years! They are now doing extensive blood tests to get to the bottom of it. Meanwhile I'm stuck in this poky hospital room unable to leave.

I am the girl in the bubble.
Fingers crossed some one pops it soon so I can go home!

Hello girl in the bubble! You may now be known as "bubble girl" - not to be confused with a bubbly girl. Which you are, but definitely not at the moment. Maybe one day again soon WHEN THE UNIVERSE DECIDES TO CUT YOU SOME SLACK! Bloody hell 2012 was challenging enough and here you are starting off 2013 in ISOLATION.
Anyhoo, we are all off to GP this arvo to get our antibiotics. The GP receptionist ever so nicely asked me announce our arrival by popping our head in to say we are here then kindly waiting outside. You know, so our leprosy doesn't affect anyone. Jeez! Chin up, you'll be back to the chaos before you know it. Xx
