Blurgh!

Well hello there! I've been feeling abit blurgh so haven't been bothered to post for a few days!

Alfie hasn't been too great either, his gut keeps making some freaky noises that are really loud, I also listened to his gut with my handy stethoscope and there is some weird bubbling and popping sounds going on. No wonder the poor fella has been mopping around, shivering and not eating. It always seems to happen on a morning and then it goes by the afternoon. I have thought of several reasons for this
A) he is hungry, but he won't eat once the sounds start to freak him out
B) he has constipation
C) he has some kind of indigestion problem
D) he has some foam trapped inside him
I shall elaborate on D.... Alfie has been staying in the kitchen on a night die to extreme whining which has been keeping us awake. To keep him in the kitchen we have been using my physio table propped on its side as a wall. Alfie decided to open one of the cushions on the table and pull all the foam out. Result, Pete goes into the kitchen in the morning and it's covered in green bits of foam and I am left with a rather flat cushion! Luckily I had a spare at my mum and dads!

Anyway I took him for a long walk yesterday as exercise can help with tummy problems (me been the expert here...) and he was sick. Not great but at least something is happening! On our walk we were nearly attacked by some protective geese parents, the hissing sent us on our way needless to say.
Alfie was very quiet at the dog training and kept not eating his treats which doesn't help when you are trying to train them! He also didn't eat his tea until just before we went to bed which is very strange for him!
This morning I gave him some weetabix, a good source of fibre! Then he went to see Murphy for a while when I went shopping. He is drinking again and seems fine, so hopefully it has done the trick! I think I shall start feeding him two small meals a day rather than one big one and might carry on with the weetabix.

So enough of Alfie, sometimes I think he should have his own blog or something!
As I said I've not been feeling great, on Tuesday I felt terrible and started crying in the evening, it didn't help that Pete was been nasty to me in my time of need! I think he gets sick of me been whiny but I can't help it!
My prescription for my amoxicillin didn't arrive until Wednesday, luckily the pharmacist agreed to lend me some until the prescription arrived. I think its helping abit, I've been on it just under a week now. My cough is less dry but more productive, is this a good thing? I'm not sure! I'm still very tired though.

Yesterday I got my haircut to try make me feel better, it didn't work... as already mentioned i went for a walk too which was nice. Today I went to Meadowhall with my friend to look for bridesmaid shoes, I HATE shopping. After been there about 10 minutes I felt hungry and tired, luckily we found some shoes in Next which was about the 3rd shop we went into. I didn't find any bridal shoes, going to have look somewhere else, there were some OK ones in bhs but they didn't have my size.

This afternoon Alfie and I went to see my Nana and then I came home and had a little afternoon sleep!
I haven't done my voluntary work for ages, I keep putting it off. Its because it involves doing a social activity and I just can't face it at the moment. I feel bad but theres nothing I can do really. I feel like I've been really busy this week but really I haven't done that much, that's what its like when you don't feel well. Everything is such hard work when in reality it's just a small chore to other people.

I received the newsletter today from Scope who I volunteer for and my piece is in it on cf, there is also a note about the training I'm going to do! Argh! Abit scared now! By the way thanks to everyone who has helped me with that! xxx
