A little while ago Dh felt really ill in the middle of the night. It panicked us, because I wouldn't be able to drive, if we needed to get him to the hospital But we have emergency money hidden should we need a taxi.. Although my son has said they all take credit cards these days.
Dh had a lot of pain, I checked him for a raised temperature and pulse and they were ok. So my treatment was 2 paracetamol and 2 anti-inflammatory tabs and a good glug of water and sit on the loo! If you feel really unwell and not sure if its your tum, sitting on the loo, takes away the fear of making a mess. So your body relaxes and it concentrates on getting your system back to normal! Did you know that? Its a suggestion from my 1960s nurse training days.
A blessing, And Dh started to feel alright, the pain eased.. and he sat on the sofa and began to close his eyes. So we both went back to bed after 4:20 am, we had been up over four hours. We slept till gone 9!!
In the morning, first thing I did was check that the money was still there, and said a prayer that Dh was ok and we both laughed, when I said. 'Thank goodness we chose that toilet, because it has a very comfortable shaped seat!' My cousin has an ultra modern ensuite with a square toilet seat, and it doesn't just feel odd, but its very uncomfortable!!
Sometimes old ways are good, even though they seem odd!!
