Home Alone


Andy's gone to a conference in Leeds for a couple of days, he is presenting a introduction into well-being.
So I'm home alone, or so I thought. Ruth was on the phone talking to her dad yesterday, with a report on her charity walk in the Peak District(more about that later). After finding out he was away, she decided to come for a relaxing couple of days at home. In other words Mother Sitting! Bless she so good, they all are.
Ruth walk went well at first, she had to wrap up well because of the weather wasn't very good. Ruth suffers and I mean suffers from a very rear complaint, 'Cold Artilaria' which basically means if she get cold eg; cold rain, wind, snow or just cold she comes up in blisters her throat tightens so she can't breath very well ( a bit like a Asama Attack) and can go into anaphylactic shock. She takes a high level of antihistamines and some times if she goes into shock she needs to use a adrenalin pen administered.
The weather was against her this weekend. she walked 20 miles in cold rain and hail. So consequently had to be ambulance off through her condition, so was unable to finish. She was so upset as she was a good 40 minutes in front of the rest, unfortunately, this also meant she was very ill and waiting for help to arrive for that time.
She had done every thing right regarding the precautions she took, but the icy rain did it for her. But I think she should be commended for what she achieved under the conditions. Well done Ruth.
