I haven\u2019t missed it a lot while I was abroad, I was having too much fun for that. Even though I didn\u2019t often verbally express it, I had lots of fun. Denmark was great, apart from the journey back (headaches and nausea). That was when I started asking myself questions again; what will I be able to do at home when we get back? Using the toilet? It\u2019s fine, except for putting my trousers back on. Eating by myself (we forgot to bring a compatible spoon to Denmark)? It\u2019s doable. However, on Tuesday I had a nasty fall and hurt my head. I probably have a slight concussion. My head is achy, I\u2019m nauseous and I feel very unsure of myself. I also got hay fever, so lots of sneezing and blowing my nose. I get a strange headache when I sleep, so I hope I\u2019m getting enough oxygen. I feel like I\u2019m breathing the most I can. Headaches, nausea and mucus are making life considerably less pleasant and really puts things in perspective. Despite this, I\u2019m still active: writing on my website, going into town, buying garden plants, visiting Annemiek, basically everything I usually do, but with a lot more doubt in my mind.<\/p>\n<h2>August 1999<\/h2>\n<p>Better news: we had a wonderful holiday in Zealand and Germany with our friends and family. In that respect, we really are in good company. Coming back from holiday is still a disaster. It\u2019s always upsetting to me. I have to get used to being back in the house and not having daily programmes filled with fun and friends. In contrast, everything looks and feels a little worse back home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love going on holiday.
