Long story short but I'm just home from two days in the hospital and completely wiped out. Mercifully it wasn't what they thought it was and was probably viral, but all the tests and stuff were brutal. Taking the next few days off work sick and just gonna sleep I think.

This is awful Cora, that must have been so scary - I'm glad you're OK mate.

Nobody told me how potentially serious it was till my brother picked me up this afternoon, so it was only when he said "Yeah I didn't tell you but I shat myself when you told me about it, 15% of people who have that particular thing die on the spot" and I was like "...err, cheers for not telling me before"

strawberry floating hell, son. Glad to hear you're alright.

What were your symptoms and are you able to describe how it differs from a normal headache/migraine? What made you decide to go to hospital?

I was reaching over to close a door and I must've overstretched, something popped in the back of my head and I got the most intense pain I've ever felt in my life, as if I'd been walloped with a baseball bat, for the next fifteen or twenty minutes. I messaged my brother saying something along the lines of "mate, check this weird headache I got earlier" and his responses indicated genuine fear on his part. Kinda thought I should take it a bit seriously then because he's obviously fairly unflappable when it comes to medical stuff. And yeah, he made a strawberry floating good call not to tell me what it might've been at the time!

Used to get loads left by my old cat, sometimes the whole rat but more often just the upper part of the head complete with teeth. Once found a headless frog which had been totally hollowed out by carnivorous slugs (the white ones) and various insects and dried in the sun, forming a grotesque papery balloon.

Current cat (actually my sisters) prefers to mutilate birds but he's a bit of a wimp so doesn't successfully catch many.

After slapping it off, I switched on the light and there was a rather large and ugly looking spider dazed on the floor. A mean looking strawberry floater, I immediately crushed the strawberry floater with a book.

I'm not scared of spiders, but
