Don't suppose it'll make much difference once the poltergeists start tonight

I fell asleep on a bookshelf once (worked in a library). It wasn't so bad.

But I'm glad you solved the couch problem. As far as the messy desk goes, if you're in for the penny you might as well be in for the pound.

Exactly.

Haven't budged much from the couch since, after piling it with blankets and duvets.

Almost ready to go back to bed already, though. Sheesh! I have things to get done, and I'm not getting around to any of them.

i know the situation all too well

but hey, if the w*rk does not go away it's a sign that it could wait, no?

I'm glad to hear you're taking it easy and getting some rest. If I could only help you with getting some of that work done, I would.

I hope you have a recovered at least a little by now Mala.
Sorry to read about all this. Not only the threatening experience, but about the doc at hospital (what the hell do they think? that one has no other passtimes then to sit around in waiting rooms ???)

And I hope the other results will be with you ASAP (and not later than a fortnight from now).

One last thing... If you get it happening to you again, call an ambulance. Perhaps if they see you in that state they may be able to diagnose and/or treat it or at least tell you waht's going on.

Well, I was prepared for the wait. It was the third time (within the space of two years! ) that I was there waiting for the neurologist. They only have one on duty, and that's not a lot for a city of 350,000 people plus surrounding towns. It stands to reason that she has to attend to the stroke victims first!

Not sure about calling an ambulance, though. If they don't take me seriously either, it might have unpleasant consequences.

they'd haul you off to the asylum in a straight jacket?

it's a catch 22 situation: if you are well enough to call an ambulance you probably don't need one

Exactly.

You undoubtably wouldn't get one if it was from Milo minder-binder enterprises

Thank you for observing all safety precautions

Huh?

A nefarious character from Catch 22

I'm going outside now, I may be some time

No doubt that will delight everybody

I mentioned Catch-22 to a 25-year-old coworker, and he said, 'Huh?'

I'm merely terrible at names.

After two days of doing very nearly nothing, I seem to be returning to my normal state of being.

However, since Wednesday night I've had this odd feeling in my legs and especially my arms - they'd been kind of achy for weeks, like I was running a fever, but now it's... hard to describe, really. Like when you lift weights to total failure, and the muscle recovers, but it still feels like it will be shaky or weak when you lift things up again, even if it isn't. If that makes any sense.

Any of you smart people out there know how to make it go away? It's annoying me.

poor you

Whatever it is causing that weak feeling, I hope it clears up soon.

Shakey, weak, feverishness and aches and pains are just God's way of telling you that you are still alive

Try a or I find aspirin always work well for me
