Bad night
Peet (the Pedantic Punctuation Policeman, Muse of Lateral Programming Ideas, Eggcups-Spurtle-and-Spoonswinner, BBC Cheese Namer & Zaphodista) Started conversation Nov 4, 2013
I tried to have an early night because I felt a bit weak and tired, but after an hour of lying down I found myself unable to breathe properly. It wasn't the blocked nose - I had a nasal spray to fix that, courtesy of my Tesco shopping delivery earlier in the day - but rather when I lay down my lungs would fill with fluid, leaving me with wheezing, coughing fits. Not fun. 
It seems to be my body collecting fluids - when I sit up, my legs swell. When I raise my legs, the fluids need to find somewhere else to escape to. 
I got up again at midnight and came through to the armchair, but the damage had been done - my breathing "gurgled" and kept me awake for the rest of the night. 
I'm feeling a little better at the moment, but I'm still coughing up phleghm. 
I have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday afternoon, after I get my bandages changed, so I'll plug on until then. 
Yesterday, I watched "Axe Cop" and "Daria".

You need to drill a hole in yourself somewhere and attach a tap, like on a water butt. When the water starts building up, just turn on the tap.
