I am feeling better! Still felt pretty bad yesterday but managed to go up to the yard to take care of my boy. I had planned to ride but decided against it due to my weakened state. It was great just to groom and cuddle my horse who was a big ball of sloppiness because his mummy was back. :-)
I went to have tea with my Mum at her house and was so knckered I fell asleep on her couch. So, as Mums ðo sometimes, she took control, phoned Rich and told him I would be better staying the night there. (He was fine with this as he has been working nights this week)
Anyway, while I was sleeping she put some drops of olbas oil on my blanket (My Mum swears by it but I've always dismissed it as a 'cure' because I'm not fond of menthol) and OMG today I am almost cured! I also had some drops on my PJ top and it has loosened my chest so much as well as getting rid of the awful blocked-up-headachy feeling I've had all week. Guess who went to the pharmacy this morning to buy olbas oil?? (Yep that would be me!)
I rode George this morning which was lovely and then went and did my 11 hour shift. I have energy again. I feel almost back to normal.
It just goes to show that even at age 38 I have to admit that my Mum knows best. :-D
