Bloody Nightmare!

Last night when I was getting ready for bed my lower lip started absolutely pouring blood. Thanks to the flu and probably going out in the cold as well,  my lips are dry and sore. The bleeding probably only lasted 10 minutes or so, but it felt like longer and was profuse!

It started again today, whilst having a cup of tea after lunch. Again it bled a lot for about 10 -15 minutes. I hope that is the last of it! I've Googled what to do if it happens again. It is not what I had been doing!

I got my Blip first thing this morning when I decided to tag along with Brian when he went for a walk to the butcher's. We went via the Arboretum for photos. It was cold and frosty in there as you can see. While Brian was in the butcher's I waited outside of course. Even when I ate meat, going in the butcher's shop made me feel nauseous.

Apparently if you stop eating meat for a while your body stops producing the enzymes necessary to digest it. You possibly could introduce it again gradually, but I have no desire to do so. 

We are not fully recovered yet from the flu. Still coughing a lot and low on energy and I felt sick again yesterday, once I was home from work. Then all the bleeding, which I'd say is more a consequence of the flu than a symptom.

I'll be glad to get back to normal and feel like the year has actually started! I mean I don't mind sitting in the house and not doing much, but it's not really the best long term strategy....
