A bad start to London

On Wednesday we woke a little late, had breakfast with Ed, he left for work, and then I started feeling sick. I lay in bed waiting for the stomach pains to go away but they didn’t. I tried natural remedies, some pills from the local chemist, gentle walking, rest… In the end I was sick and brought up what little I had managed to eat throughout the day. That spoiled all our plans for day one in London, and obviously impacted the rest of our time here. Rob and Sandy had planned a beautiful dinner for us at a restaurant that is very hard to get into. It was to be a wedding gift. I had to cancel on them and I felt absolutely terrible. Everybody was disappointed and miserable. Rob had gone to a lot of trouble with the reservation. David spent the day bored and unhappy. I spent it in pain, nausea, tears and guilt for how it was affecting everyone else. It was dreadful.
