NIK and SICK !!! .....

Look what I've done !!!



A precis of events :

Arrived at friend's house to stay overnight, went to a pub for dinner { one small glass of wine }, on to venue to see Nik Kershaw { brilliant }, took small glass of wine into auditorium, put it on the floor and kicked it over !!, back to friend's house, stayed up until 4.30 a.m. chatting { no wine, just coffee }, went to bed, woke at 7.30 a.m. needing the toilet, sat on toilet knowing I was going to be sick {have not been sick for years} ..... next thing I know, I'm laying in sick on the floor, knickers and leggings round my ankles !!! Had passed out, smashed my head on the adjoining wall which woke friend, friend had to break into the bathroom, she called ambulance !!! After all checks, the paramedics said I had had food poisoning ... result: black and blue face, painful neck and shoulders !!!






Thinking I'm looking a lot like Frankenstein's monster ..... you've got to laugh !!!

    Quite a shiner Jackie. My husband did the same thing once and broke his nose in the process. Glad you got checked out. Healing thoughts sent your way.

    Oh you poor thing! Food poisoning is the worst, although at least you don't have to take the blame for over indulgence or not being able to hold you liquor. Hope you mend quickly. Take care!

    Oh Jackie, I am so sorry and, besides the horrible food poisoning which in itself must be terribly frightening, that must also be very painful! On a "happier" note; you don't have to wear make up.
    Greetings Maria x

  8. Jacqueline @ HOME24 September 2017 at 16:52

    Haha Maria !! Very true ..... no make up since I did it !
    I'm just wondering if I've got enough concealer to cover it up next week ...... I don't want to frighten the neighbours ! XXXX

    Haha Z ... it certainly is a lot of red although it's starting to go yellow/green now plus red and purple !!!! I think green covers red and I've got a pot of that .... maybe I'll show my covering attempts in a couple of days !! XXXX

    Jackie, so very sorry for what happened - lucky your friend's a nurse, hopefully a carpenter too when it comes to repairing the door! What on earth did you eat at the pub?

    Hope you heal quickly - and that there are some decent TV programs coming up.
    Hugs - be well - Mary

    OMG, J !!!
    This is horrible. I trust by the time you're reading this you are so much better. For us girls, there's nothing worse than bruises on our face is there?
    I remember food poisoning long ago, it's dreadful and there is nothing you can do but get it out of your body. So the body takes control and it's awful. All the best, and no I'm not laughing. Love love love

    It was pretty horrible Marsha but the purple is now fading and the mustardy yellow has taken over !!!!! I still look a bit of a sight but not quite so frightening !

    Hello Jackie,
    I hope you are healed and recovered fully. How quickly these accidents happen. I can imagine it must have been painful. Food poising is the worst.
    Hugs and prayers.
