Hey guys!
I survived, just about. OMG it was rough
On Monday we left mine around 9:45. We didn't get to the hotel till after 6pm! We only stopped twice!
By the time we got there I could barely stand up, I tried sitting and everything was spinning, my ears were roaring, and when I did attempt to open my eyes everything was 'sparkly'! I had to lie down and keep my head as still as possible for over 2hrs
We stayed here in a Captains Room : Family hotel leisure facilities holidays holiday accommodation Glencoe Kentallen Pier Seafood Restaurant hotels 4 star hotels Glencoe Fort William Highlands Scotland
It was absolutely incredible!! We had a balcony overlooking the loch, the room was huge and really beautiful, and the bathroom was incredible!
When I could get up I said we should go for a short walk - hoping the cold would help my blood pressure come up and help me get going. We found a cycle path running along the side of the loch and every now and then there were little waterfalls. We had a little robin hop along side us for a while and when it got dark there were loads of little bats Dunno how long we were out for, I keep losing time everywhere! But my toes had started to go numb and I felt dizzy, so we had to go back.
We'd stopped and gotten some food for tea and we had the table right by the windows so we could see out. I had the tiniest piece of quiche, a couple of spoonfuls of tomato pasta, a pathetic amount of salad, and a couple of crisps. I just felt so sick
Made an effort tho and changed my top and topped up my make-up and we went downstairs to the bar. Joh, the big eejit, had brought his suit with him!! A bloody suit for a drink in a hotel bar lol. He said he remembered me saying I like guys in suits with Converse so he wanted to do something daft. It was sweet, but I also had to try really hard not to be a sarcastic cow
Had a couple of whisky's and had to call it a night. It was pretty late by then anyway! Had a nice long, DEEP, Lush bath and read my book for a bit. By the end of that though I could barely stand up or focus on anything so I had to call it a night. Felt so guilty, but really did feel on the verge of passing out or throwing up
I slept till about 3 and then was in and out. Was so tired when I got up.
We did go down for breakfast and I managed some muesli with low fat yogurt and a bit of honey. And then a couple of slices of watermelon with a couple of blueberries and raspberries. And some juice and coffee. Bit of a struggle, but I knew I had to eat! I really wanted the porridge, but it was cooked with cream. Cream makes me rather violently ill!!
We got our stuff and chucked it in the car and had a quick walk along the jetty and took some pics. Then it was back in the bloody car I did ok for a few hours and then it started again
We stopped twice on the way to Bradford and then spent almost 3hrs at my friends house. She made us soup, bread, and cupcake/muffin thingies It was SO lovely to see her!! Last time was my birthday! I so wish we could have stayed longer. Didn't want to say goodbye!
I just about made it to the motorway before I completely crashed. The pain in my head was incredible, I couldn't sit up straight and had to wedge my elbow against the door, slide down my seat as much as I could, and support the front of my head against my hand The pressure and pain was so bad. I couldn't open my eyes, had to cover my eyes from the lights on the roads, and every single movement, bump, dip, swerve was just awful. It made my head more painful and the nausea was so bad. I'm not sure if I stayed conscious or not because we seemed to get home very quickly.
It took me ages to be able to get out of the car and when I got in I crawled/ran up the stairs and just knelt by the toilet sobbing Had to text my Mum to come help me.
I did make it back downstairs but it was so bad. Couldn't keep my eyes open, had to shield my eyes from the light, etc...
I feel so, so guilty coz I do feel like I ruined it. And he tried really really hard! And made so much effort I know I can't help it, but I still feel really bad.
The bits I did see and could do were really nice and Scotland is beautiful. Will add on the few pics I took. I know I was ill coz normally I'd have taken pics of absolutely everything!!!
