Well yesterday was a rather exciting day. Alan was off work for Bank Holiday and Alex was in school, so Alan and I went to Harvey Nicks in Edinburgh for lunch as a very rare treat.
Harvey Nicks is a great place to feel poor in, whilst all the ladies who lunch eye up each other's "it" bags like game hunters showing off their kill!!
Any-hoo , we had a yummy lunch and then I started to feel unwell. Joints aching, feeling really tired and a bit "fluey" . Have been feeling rather tired for a few days and spending a bit more time napping, it must be the tail end of the chemo catching up with me. When we got home I headed to bed still feeling rough. At 10pm I still felt hot and achy and thought I would take my temperature OH MY GOD it was 101.9F. So I panicked and ended up calling one of my neighbours who is a breast cancer oncologist (how cool is that?) She checked me over and whizzed me down to the Western General for a blood test just to make sure my cell counts were OK.
Good news was that all is fine I probably have a little virus is all, which meant to my great relief I was able to come home and not stay in overnight. I had to lie on a bed in a gown for an hour and I was not a happy bunny.
Feeling fine but a bit tired today.

What a horrible time, so glad it's nothing more than a virus. As I was reading your post I was thinking "swine flu" :) so glad it wasn't.
Take care, Carol x
