On Monday morning I was feeling fine. I took the brief walk to the post box to post a letter and came back home. I had no work scheduled so I remained indoors for the day. After lunch I began to feel stomach pains and thinking it was simply trapped wind I thought it would pass soon enough. During the whole afternoon and into the evening I was bringing up wind but it seemed that I had a bacterial infection because of the aches and pains I was experiencing in my arms and elsewhere. I ate nothing in the evening for fear of aggravating the condition and went to bed a little hungry. Whenever I suspect that I have a ‘tummy bug‘ I cease eating and just drink water. This allows the infection to work its way out of my system without ‘feeding’ it. On Tuesday morning, yesterday, I was hoping to be feeling better as I had work scheduled for the day and when I got up I was glad to be feeling much better. I had a small breakfast, one banana, for I didn’t want a recurrence of what happened the day before and then went about my business as usual. The first job was simply to assess what would be needed for when I go to do it, probably next week but the second was to wire to and fix an extra power point which meant work! I started off with no problems but as the morning wore on I began to feel so weak and tired. I was hoping that it was just a matter of getting something to eat but I had to wait until I arrived back home before I could test that theory. I was right, I needed some fuel for my furnace! So now all is well again. I generally don’t suffer with bad health but once or twice a year something gets the better of me.
