Yes, I'm back after ten long days in hospital. Without going into too many details I was dehydrated, which led to me feeling tired, breathless and lacking in appetite and energy. I was rushed to hospital and placed in a new wing (just opened in February of this year) where I had my own room with en suite facilities, TV and phone. It was like being in a hotel, not a hospital! I was put on a drip for the whole duration and I'm now back to normal.
I have left personal comments to everyone who wished me well on my previous post. Do check them out if you were one of them. I'd just like to thank you all for your well wishes and messages of support. They were fully appreciated.
I'll be spending today catching up on e-mails (155 of them!) and more importantly, checking up on your blogs. Normal Vampifan service should be resumed on Sunday.
Once again, thank you all.
Bryan.
Good to have you back to normal!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to be back, Fran.
DeleteGood luck and speedy recovery
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, mate.
DeleteWelcome back.... get painting. Drink more water the easy way rather than by drip.
DeleteGood advice, Phil, which I shall heed.
DeleteWe drink loads of tea and coffee at work but still ended up dehydrated. The nurse said everytime that we have cuppa have a glass of water afterwards. Seems to work. Piddling for England mind you !!!!
DeleteGood advice, Phil.
DeleteGlad you are ok mate.
ReplyDeleteThanks. All's well that ends well, Clint.
DeleteGlad to have you back Dude!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bob. I'm so glad to be back.
DeleteBryan, I'm extremely pleased to see you back and hopefully fully-recovered. I can honestly say that I have missed your blogging presence both here on your own site as well as mine and the others I follow. Take care :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words, Simon. I have really missed you and all my other blog friends.
DeleteKeep an eye out for the mail man... as he'll be bringing you something to remind you to drink more ;-)
DeleteI can't wait! It's odd because I usually do drink a lot of water during the day. The doctors reckoned I'd probably caught a stomach bug which affected me so badly.
DeleteGlad your on the mend my friend! It has seemed quiet in your absence!
ReplyDeleteSurely I'm not that loud, Simon! But seriously, I hear what you're saying and it is much appreciated. Thank you.
DeleteDon't forget to drink something while catching up on your email :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back home safe and sound Vampi!!!
Thanks, Russ. I will be drinking more often now.
DeleteWelcome back, Vampi!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Barks. I'm so relieved to be back.
DeleteYay, you're back! Hopefully fit and well again.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, Hugh. Yep, fit and well again.
DeleteI hope you are felling better, welcome back mate
ReplyDeleteLovely to hear from you, Shinto mate, and yes I am feeling a lot better.
DeleteJust a lurker here that has been enjoying your gaming tales (especially ATZ and Zombicide) and your other insights. Glad to hear you are out and back home.
ReplyDeleteThat's very kind of you to say so, Rob.
DeleteGreat to have you back, Bryan!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mikko, and it's lovely to hear from you.
DeleteGlad to hear that you are safely back.
ReplyDeleteGreatly appreciated, Michael.
DeleteSeeing you on here made my effin day! Great news Bryan, take care of yourself :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kindness, Roger.
DeleteI'm glad you're back and it was a relatively simple fix. Living out in the desert I'm keenly aware of the need for hydration. You have to force yourself to drink water.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sean. I think I've learned my lesson now. :-)
