Firstly, thank you so so much to Thelwell Girl for being a lovely pickle and starting me a get well soon thread!

Secondly... I apologise for not being a squiggley ball of morag wafting joy, but I feel absolutely horrendous and would quite like to curl up in a chest of drawers and suck a pillowcase for a while...

So we all know I nearly died, but it is now becoming apparent that that was just the beginning of my tomatoheaded adventures! I no longer have a giant face, but I do have spectacular bruising on my face, arms and legs, and still feel like someone has their hands round my throat the whole time, which is making for a very sexy husky voice! I was two hours late taking my first lot of drugs yesterday, which showed us just how hardcore the reaction was. I ended up collapsing and slurring like a Glaswegian drunkard, and have felt like I've been crunched up by a dumper truck ever since.

The consultant is now saying that basically all my internal organs shut down so that my body could focus on fighting the chemicals. So I've got a good few months to a year of constantly shaking like Elvis in a Parisian taxi, dizziness, exhaustion from even the most ridiculously small tasks (I grated cheese last night and felt like I'd just been round sodding Badminton carrying the horse!), and generally feeling a bit poo. I'm on constant ambulance watch (which is bloody annoying 'cause I want to GO HUNTING but can't be out of shouting distance on someone with a phone...), and FF is all up in Mexico's grill getting brown like a bitch and wafting about next to the pool!


I love you all a lot, and do big smiles every time I see my wunderbaa flowers and teddy, so thank you again a squillion times my little squishies!

On the upside, I went out to say hello to my horses this morning (escorted. joy unbounded.) and arrived in time to see two of them (his Royal Royness, and Jack the plank) doing a ridiculous Lipizzaner type thing - left shoulder to left shoulder, each down on one knee biting each other's tummies...

they're either mad or mad.
 
Ahh hun, not great then? :(

Will mr mechanic be looking after you?

I really hope you start to feel more human soon, you poor thing... x
 
You are really going through the wars, its a lesson to all us grey haired little folk be very wary of what we are using (Starzaan not meaning you are a grey haired little folk, though possibly thats how you feel at the moment) WIshing you a speedy recovery, your horses need you
 
That sounds like one heck of a serious reaction! :eek: (I have a rather amusing allergy to all things allium, leading some to suggest that I am in fact a vampire! But I only do projectile vomitinng and being a nasty colour :D )
Hope you do get well soon, and may I be a bit grown up and suggest that you are careful not to overdo it? Also on a serious note be aware that allergies can trigger other allergies and you may have reactions to things that have been ok before. Just imagine if you develop an allergy to burning hoof :D :D :D :D
 
Glad to hear you are still around :) On a serious note (and speaking as an older fuddy duddy) stay in bed, take your meds and get better soon ! xx You really keep me entertained with your descriptive posts about it all but I cant imagine how scary it must be to have such a bad reaction to something like hair dye. When my son was at uni he went through a phase of dyeing his hair black - luckily the worst that happened was it nearly fell out! Hugs and get better soon vibes coming your way. x
 
My lord you poor poor thing! Well done for being able to be so philosophical about everything. Take lots of rest and get better soon xxx
 
Eek! Bit of an OTT reaction hey? (bad, bad, bad Starzaan body!!! :D) Think your body may be demanding that you take it easy for a while. Drink lots of water, this will help flush and replenish your internal organs. Nettle tea is also good for this.

Personally I think that our animals are a reflection of us... so yes, your boys are mad... stark staring.... :D

Keep warm and snuggled hun. Just think, you have a valid excuse to hibernate for winter, when the rest of us are out there braving the lovely english winter. Wont be long till spring :D xx
 
OMG! I have never posted on nay of your threads before, but do manage to vaguely keep up with them. I heard you had been rather ill - but had no idea it was that bad. Take care, do as the doc's tell you and get well soon!
 
Oh my word - that's awful! And I can't believe that FF has gone and left you at a time like this! I hope that there are people around to look after you and be at your beck and call.

Get yourself a bell... they'll love you for it.

Seriously, you sound as though you've had a rather rough time of it and you should really look after yourself. Until the FF is back from his holiday, then he can do it!!!



How is the mechanic, anyway?
(Sorry, I'm in the FF camp)
 
i've loved keeping up with your posts. i'm so sorry to hear what happened to you, but despite what ur going thru, you still manage to make your posts a funny read, bless u.

allergies are flippin orrid. especially when they creep up on you like that. i dont think people take allergies as seriously as they should. over the last three years i've been suffering with a food intolerance allergy and having no help from the doc, i managed to find out what it was. bloody lager! or certain types anyway. i cant touch carling or fosters and now it seems peroni too. i tried some peroni for the first time last week and i'm still suffering for it now. my face, eyes, head and neck swell up and go red, blotchy and intensely itchy. first thing in the morning i can hardly open my eyes for the swelling, but being a single parent, still hve to drive to school. i know this is a relatively mild reaction, but i swear this time, to never drink lager again. its wine all the way for me now. i'd rather be a drunken wino than a tomatoheaded lager lout!

i hope u make a quick recovery and do as everyone says and take it easy. xx
 
Thank you all my little pickles!! On a serious note... the reaction I had was not uncommon - the chemical is banned in several countries, and is a known killer. Sooooo, beware of PPD!!!

On a not so serious note, I saw the consultant I had when I was in Resuscitation for the first time today... (last time he saw me I was blind, almost dead, and telling everyone I wanted chocolate mousse NOW NOW NOW or I was going to die just to spite them) and he's not at all the dreamy dream boat I had conjured up in my head. His delightful doctory hands are attached to a rather strange spaghetti body with no definition between head and neck... he's like a bottle....

And here was me thinking I was being rescued by Jonny Depp.


BUGGER.
 
Oh crikey! Best of wishes and get well squishies to you. I have to admit to obviously missing the beginnings of this saga but I hope you pull yourself together soon ;-)

xx

Close your eyes again and pretend its JD??? :D
 
Glad to hear you are slowly feeling better. Just go super easy on yourself and do as you are told!! Plenty of rest and don't be forgetting those tabs - they don't give you them for fun you know!
Do take care and I hope you are feeling very much better nice and soon.
 
I shall close my eyes, imagine a faint twang of a Brummy accent, and hope to God it's the FF!




I hope he brings me a present.




I'd BETTER get a present.

Think you are due a super present, I would sulk like a 3 year old if I didn't!!! (wobbly bottom lip, foot stomping, the works!)
 
Starzaan you are awesome lol all this stuff going on and your still upbeat and making jokes :)

FF will be around with glorious presents or i shall drive all the way from not so sunny Wales and put him in a sea of whelks!! whilst kicking him up the butt with a pair of wellies but not performing the welly dance (I`ll leave that to you)

Now take it easy...ask the not so handsome doctor for mousse and RELAX :)

PS - Silly little woman at Wella asking if you wanted a free patch test......I think you`ll be getting a lot more than a patch test!!!!

Hope you get well soon.....
 
Oh no that is indeed rather Poo!! I for one think I would be sue-ing their corporately whore'd asses from here unto somewhere rather nice and sunny!

BUT your main priority should be getting yourself better and working on plans for snaring FF in your lemon wax scented, morag wafting, sausage wielding trap (no whelks though.... that's bound to put him off! ;)) Maybe by the time he gets back from chargrilling himself in Mexico you'll be back to your gorgerous self (albeit a little wobbly and drugged) but you could tell him how dreadful it all was and how you wished he'd been there to save you in a night in shining armour

sort of way! :D:D
 
Oh dear - poor you. You will just have to take the doctor's advice, look after yourself, don't overdo it, take the tablets and keep on making us cry with laughter at your view on life chez Starzaan.

Lots of healing vibes coming your way.

xx
 
Aaw :( it sucks that you're going to be laid up for so long. But make sure you DO as you are TOLD and you'll get better more quickly.

On the plus side (not that we're selfish or anything), it means plenty of hilarious updates on your drug-addled antics while you're recovering :D
 
Wow, had no idea it was quite that serious - you poor thing! Glad the tomatohead has gone, but sorry FF's in Mexico. He will surely come back with presents, along with photos of self in pool-side gear, non? And a woman can never be too ill to morag-waft! Sorry the process is going to be a long one, but it'll well worth taking it slowly: no point in pushing yourself two-steps forward, just to end up taking 3 steps back. Fact that you're still as hilarious as ever is amazing: just one more reason why it's so much fun keeping up with you Starzaan 80)
 
It doesn't seem right laughing at your expense but your posts are hilarious - keep 'em coming. I'm only having my hair cut this evening - no dying for me:D Get well soon. You sure you're not still having drug induced hallucinations or are you always this mad:)
 
Sounds horrendous Starzaan!! Just shows eh....

Just concentrate on getting well and at least you have a lot of time to think about your FF now...:D
Seriously, take care, take it easy and be patient!!
Get well soon!
