Got admitted to hospital yesterday with suspected meningitis because i had a massive fever, vomiting (which had been going on since wed) and bad head neck and eyes. Turned out not to be, thankfully, but I'm still waiting for other test results, though they let me go home today.
Now I've been asleep almost all day so I'm trying to be awake a bit so I can sleep at night. I feel hideous, and i want someone to make me soup even if all i'm going to do is vom it back up on their shoes.

i wish i hadn't persuaded my mum not to come over tho
I'm sure you can unpersuade her? Maybe just a text saying "Actually, I'm sorry - I think I really need you".
A lot better thanks, but I've got a headache which I think is from the lumbar puncture, so I feel ok if I'm lying down but in agony if I stand up. So I'm in bed watching Bagpuss
Brilliant! Comfort is just what you need.
And I'm sure your mum probably really wants to be with you. Good luck. *hug*
I tried to go back to work today but ended up with a headache more painful than I would have ever thought possible. Threw up a lot and it felt like somebody was stuffing my head full of burning coals. Went back to the hospital and then they did some funky stuff with my blood (squirted it into my spine to stop my 'spine juices' escaping). Got covered in someone else's wee. Bit grim, though my headache's gone.
Thanks for the well wishing
