Day 13 – Monday
Well, that's the most unexpected thing ever. I had 250 hits on the blog yesterday alone, and several other days that were up there too. Absolutely incredible that there are friends and family checking in several times a day to see how the Human Rash is faring, but I honestly thought about 30 or so…

Day 12 – Sunday
A slightly better day. Always a bit tentative in saying that as it risks the wrath of something unexpected. A slow start as felt exhausted – no the sleep didn't come, but as I've been 90% unconscious for the previous 2.5 days, perhaps no great surprise. Mr H managed to help me to have a…

Day 11 – Saturday
I'm delighted to share that the Authoress is back in the room and composed her own blog on her phone in the middle of the night. Some improvement and some definite not improvement today. On the upside, my temperature is now back under control and at 1am (into Sunday) they finally took the air con…

Day 10 – Friday
Not a good day for Scotty. Rash has gone purple, temp over 40, totally wiped out, generally bloody unwell. Medical staff doing everything to keep her as comfortable as at all possible. Her brother Richard came last night and prayed for her. All words welcome at this point. I feel so helpless, as all i…

Day 9 – Thursday
Lousy night mostly spent moaning and groaning, tossing and turning, mouth dry and sore. Feels like there's a flap of grot in there that drinks just can't knock away. Hooked up to first antibiotics by 6am. Feel utterly washed out, not sure I will manage a shower today unless H helps me when he comes…

Day 8 – Wednesday
Day 8, time crawls along when you constantly feel like you've got a bad hangover and might be sick at any time… they've added in another anti-sickness drug so we'll see if it stops the acid feeling. Weird that if I actually let myself think about the dreaded swirling mouthwashes or heaving up, I reckon…

Day 7 – Tuesday
Here we go, Day 7. Bit of a rubbish night, tossing and turning on the crappy hospital bed. Impossible to get comfy on something that is made of rubber, and built for wipe-ability. It makes our bed at home feel a veeeeeery long way away.. Woken for blood pressure at 3am, crept to the loo…

Day 6 – Monday
Hey folks, Shattered again last night, but got some sleep which helps. Feeling pretty blurgggh, tired, flat, slow, back is sore as am not taking the paracetamol for fear these will make me throw up more, on top of the other drugs. Have bravely had my shower before breakfast. Hope the strategy works and that…

Day 5 – Sun
Hey lovely folks – today's thrilling update for your delectation.. Got 5 whole hours sleep in a row last night – woo hoo. As I crashed out straight after vomming up dinner it did mean I was awake again by 2.30am but that's still good in my book. And always a bonus to wake up…

Day 4 – Saturday
Another broken sleep last night – kipped 10pm-12 then woke up for FaceTime with a slightly sozzled Mr H at midnight (Scrumpy sleeping very happily on Mummy Bear's side of the bed next to him). Then Words with Friends vs Clare Greenwood the night owl at 1am, an episode of Graham Norton from 1.30-2.30am… followed…
