Day 2808 Near death experience

23rd April 2025

Oh shit I’m dying! These were the words that came out of my mouth.

I had come into the laundry room to use the toilet, the same one that I use in the night.

I don’t flush it because it would disturb the dogs.

So I walked in turned on the light and looked into the bowl. The contents were red, not bright red but looking like blood in the urine red. I came over cold, I had to sit down, I didn’t feel bad, no pains, I felt absolutely fine, but I was worried.

It just wasn’t right, every morning everything is normal, what had changed? Well I had my itchy arms, could that be the start of something really serious? I spent several minutes in a thoughtful coma thinking is this my doom?

As my mind was racing, I remembered there was a bottle of bleach on the toilet seat that I had to remove during the night visit.

I called out to Kelli who was in the other bathroom “Did you pour bleach down the toilet last night?”

“Yes” she replied, “ I did both of them”

I slumped back down in my seat, that was it, I wasn’t going to kick the bucket, well at least not yet. I rushed to tell Kelli my story, I was so relieved, she laughed, there was a funny side to it, although I didn’t join her in that.

The rest of the day was so much better, we planted stuff in the new part of the front garden, the sun shined, and it rained, but I didn’t care I was still alive.
