Well… this weekend definitely didn’t go quite to plan! 🤦🏼♀️
My case was packed and sitting in the car ready for what should have been a little bit of much-needed time out in Edinburgh, followed by a training day today that I’d really been looking forward to.
Instead, my weekend involved a morning on the phone to NHS 24, an afternoon in urgent care and being sent home with strict instructions to rest — accompanied by a fairly hefty course of steroids. 💊
Even after heading to urgent care, I had somehow convinced myself I’d still be getting back in the car and heading to Edinburgh afterwards… apparently the medical professionals looking after me had other ideas. 😂
So unfortunately I missed both my little hotel escape and today’s training, which I was genuinely gutted about.
I now have a hospital appointment first thing, with further investigations on Thursday once the steroids have had a little time to do their job.
Anyone who knows me will know that resting is really not my forte. Nurses are notoriously terrible patients and it appears I’m no exception. 🤣 But on this occasion, I’m going to listen to the advice I’ve been given and give myself a little time to recover properly.
For the next couple of weeks, I won’t be adding any additional appointments to my diary before Monday 5th October. Future appointments can absolutely still be booked as normal — I’m simply giving myself some breathing space and resisting my usual temptation to fill every available gap while I recover. 🤍
If you’ve emailed, messaged or contacted me and I haven’t responded yet, please bear with me. I’m not ignoring you and I will get back to everyone as soon as I can — replies may just be a little slower than usual over the next few days.
Thank you, as always, for your patience and understanding. 🤍
