Ok, so this post is a little late as my birthday was on Tuesday.
I've been having little birthday type events happening since Sunday, where my wife, sister and I were going to lunch and lovely wifey had arranged for loads of family and friends to be there. It was cool. I ran out of steam about 5ish, went home had a quick sleep and by the time I had woke up, my wife was home with a few of the others, which was cool.
On Monday I said I wanted to go to Thorpe park (the roller coaster place). A bit of a stupid plan really, but I was feeling ok and wanted to go on a roller coaster. Doctor may not have agreed, but yaa-boo-sucks to him!. We got there in the early afternoon. It was bloody cold and amazingly busy. We joined a queue (a massive one) determined to get on a ride. What I didn't realise was how hard on me standing would be. My skinny legs were not happy and I had to find things to lean on. Just when it seemed like I'd have to give up, the glorious end was in sight. The ride, Nemesis Inferno, was cool. I enjoyed it, but the queuing had knackered me.
We went to sit down and have a coffee, which was good. Stayed there a bit longer, had a drink elsewhere, some of the others did some other rides but I was content to sit and chat.
Next day was my actual birthday but I felt under the weather and had a temperature, so didn't end up getting up until afternoon. Shame really, as there were quite a few birthday options available. In the evening, my wife cooked mexican food (I love mexican food) and some friends came round for drinks.
Yesterday, my temperature was behaving and we had some friends round for dinner (wifey cooking again and very well).
It's soppy, I know, but I love my wife. She organised lots of birthday stuff for me, so if one day I wasn't feeling good there would be something the next. She is one cool lady.
This morning my temperature started off well high (and if I was well behaved I would have rung the hospital - they would have had me come in and that's where I'd be for the next 4 days). I gave it a couple of hours and it had started to come down nicely. Stupid weird temperature. I didn't feel hot, didn't look like I had a high temperature. Wierd!
