Sucks worse than last weeks old knickers

spent last sunday and monday nights in hospital after a badish asthma attack as my oxygen levels were quite down and came home with what i thought was the start of a cough/cold virus..by wednesday night it was flu blown 'man flu' ..meergh

Ged is being very good at playing though.now if only i could get him into some scrubs

I was supposed to be going to our pubs landlords daughters birthday party tonight but i feel too ill..you know its bad if its keeping me out of the pub for the second time in a week

I am so to hear of your recent illness, Serephina........I too have been ill for two weeks, and it was not what I would call a bed of fun... Luckily for me, I had my daughters and grandkids acting as s and s...

See.................................



now the remide......

take one liter bottle of sprit and drink slowly


sorry to hear that man flu is in your system


RJR

Hiya Rev Jack Russell..If Serephina has the man flu, does that mean that I have the woman flu????



Steve

Sorry to hear of your recent ills, Sereph. Hope you feel better soon, sounds like Ged is doing a great job, though. (for Ged) I hope Josh is behaving himself

Here, have a and a a and a

to say this Magwitch, but I am not now, never have been, and never will be, a member of your brotherhood. I must politely reject your offer of comfort and support and unsub forthwith

Steve

Hope you'll sleep it off, Sereph.

cheers you lot

unfortunately im back in hospital as was getting very wheezy again and the drs are concerned my man flu may in fact be pneumonia ill know more when the dr whos had me admitted comess to see me
in a bit

I'll send you the last one i had during my 4 days in a room & night in Intensive care, many were the huddles as to "it's only bronchopneumonia/man; it's Portugese flu/nah; it's pleurisy/nah it's Status asthmaticus: look; she's gone blue again; let's all try firing rapid questions at her in French.

Oh, the machines are bleeping & there ar straight lines & weird dips , ah, just shove a gas mak on here, if she croaks, she's not one of ours, phone the British Embasssy. My arms & hands are now black by the way; 9 attempts to get an IV line in (they gave up in the end)

zdt

ouch! no thanks terri you can keep the froggie docs i think

are you ok now?

I'm back at home again..yay hope it lasts this time

It'll only be the last time if you pack in the fags woman!!

Nice to have you home again though..

yeh... give up the cigarettes woman!

They've given me some sort of detox type drug to get me off the fags, they said they don't really see the point of patches 'cos i will still be addicted to nicotine. So i've gone down from 30 long normal strength Bensons to puffing half a Platinum small one ONLY outside & writing it down, yesterday's total was 3, so far today i've had 1 & half & to be honest didn't enjoy it (but the nicotine craving is definitely stilll here, just a lot less)

Because i am also supposed to be quitting booze at the same time i have decided to inflict a regime of total dictatorship on visitors to MY House. No booze & smoke outside or sod off. If i am gonna suffer, i make damn sure the rest of the world does too

At the same time Le V has finally moved to his nice house 90 miles away, so i can at least avoid adding murder & dismembership of a frog to my sins.

Because i am some sort of sado-masochist, i figured: right: let's assume giving up booze makes you look less like a hamster, since you are living in misery anyway, let's also avoid substituting cigs & with & fizzy sugary stuff. So i've made incredibly garlicky hummus & cucumber & carrot sticks, which i poke into constantly.

And just to cheer you up: amazingly even after a few days i *do* look better, there are cheekbones under there, i thought they had dissolved.Doc reckons drinking 2 litres of water a day helps flush the nasties out, certainly the beer gut is down a bit, but you spend ages on the loo!

I went out & bought a blonde hair colour today, reckon i need another tomorrow, it's still not stripped all the red out, but i think i'm gonna go for a bizarre mix of gold, red, black, grey & ash blonde. What the hell; if it doesn't work i shall do a Britney & shave it all off.

So: go for it kid!! If only for the money aspect; i reckon i can save about a 3rd of my income & i plan to spend it ALL ON ME!

"They tried to make us go to rehab, we said Blah, Blah, Blah"

I'm gonna go bug my stop smoking clinic for some of that new chsmpix stuff to try , shame they can't bottle will powere really.. or just make crisps and fags healthy
