Allotments 4 All

Just heard that Jill (joji) has been taken to hospital today suffering from hypothermia, after having struggled all day in the rain, digging ditches to save her plot from flooding.

I wish her a speedy recovery and return to this forum, but I will leave the eloquence to others ...

All my warmth

Hi guys

IIIIIMMMMMMM BBBBBAAAAACCCCKKKKKK  ;D

Thanks guys for all your kind words. Having hypothermia is NOT funny. It's scary :o :'(

I am ok now and I am sitting here with a bowl of home made tomato soup and wrapped up in a sleeping bag with the heating on.

I wouldn't wish that on any one . I was out in the lottie for 4 hours in torrential; rain and cold winds. I had a water proof
on and a hat. I was just steadally getting wetter & wetter without realising it. The next thing I know is my OH standing next to me and saying are you ok? You look really weired in colour I think you better come in to the house now.

I went in and just collapsed.  Both of us are trained in first aid so OH took my temperature. I was waaaaaayyyy low. He took me to hospital and that was that. :)

I am ok now though I am a tuff cookie. lol

Joji, What a horrible thing to happen to you.  :o Good your husband got you to hospital in time, hypothermia is no laughing matter.  Glad you are feeling better.  I know lotties are great but not worth risking your life over, so you take care of yourself.  Big hug! busy_lizzie

Joji     Lottying in torrential rain and cold.  What are you like!  All advice on here is always don't do too much, too often.  Ee dear.  I am dead "nesh" and I am allergic to cold so you wouldn't get me out there in cold and rain for more than ooh about 2 mins  :)

It's only a lotty, it aint worth damaging your health for so consider yourself told off  ;D

Have you got all the dogs round you keeping you warm like a living hottie  ;D

Hi JJ. I hope your hubby told you I gave you a virtual telling off last night when I heard you were poorly! 

I agree with what Busy and Wardy say.So look after yourself ok ! 

I'm so pleased you are feeling lots better and I hope you are wrapped up warm with the huskies! Oooh I'll bet Ziziou is a lovely furry blanket. Oh no ..I've got Barney in my head again...had to endure that again this morning!!  ;D  ;D  ;D

Take care missus!

Hels .

:) I thought they only said that in Keighley...

Much more importantly, get well soon Jill/ Joji.

Glad to have you back with us Jill  :)

Hypothermia is a very serious and possibly fatal condition, I have seen big tough men dropped like new born lambs because of it, and been a victim myself. You are right, it is scary.

Don't feel guilty pampering yourself for a while !

Derekthefox :D

Look Jill...I got Huskies!!

Hope you are feeling better!

Thankyou so much everyone ;D. It relly is kind of you 8)

Sorry Heldi Thanks so much. ButI think I got you beat lol

This isn't even 1/3 of my collection. ;)

Well I think they ALL look cute !

Derekthefox :D

Glad you're back home Jill! MY you are a toughghie! ;D

I am pleased you are feeling better. Please if the weather is bad with rain and its cold it aint worth harming yourself. A allotment is there for your pleasure not harm. I am really pleased you are better and I like your collection of doggies  ;D. I collect cuddley frogs ( ::) sad aint it a 28 year old bloke collecting frogs  ::) )

Jill - so glad you're on the mend. Horrible scary thing to have happened - and crept up on you like that, a lesson to allof us I'm sure, i bet we've all been out in weather we shouldn't have (except maybe Wardy ;D)

Feet up, hot toddies, lovely dogs to keep you warm - better now :)
