How's Gness Today?

[Ann]

Hi Gness, hope you are feeling better today? but I fear you will be full of aches and bruises after your "good trip!"

[gness]

Hi, Ann and thank you...just spotted this.

Bad night and really bad morning...started to get a wee bit worried so I found a walk in surgery in Corby and got there....Chest infection so I have antibiotics and steroids....never had those before....but if it just eases the pain a bit I'll be happy.

I was delighted to see a huge empty surgery and be called in immediately to see the triage nurse....til she sent me to the real waiting room... Arrrgghh!

It was larger but half full of annoying people so I tucked myself in a corner and closed my eyes for the two hour wait.

Why oh why does the local nut seek me out and come to sit beside me? I'm good with the local accent but I got one word in ten about his illnesses, tablets, anger management which went by the board when he decided "throw one of his wee tantrums" to get seen quickly and would I like to join in?........His dead mother....the colour of these chairs....his elbow broken at last week's wedding and then horror of horror!!! He was here because the contents of his bowels were coming out of his mouth......he said.

I have pills, Ann but by the time I got out I was so ill I'm not sure the visit was such a good idea........☻

And that's without mentioning badly behaved children!

Fear I may be a tad grumpy....x

Hi gness, sorry to hear your feeling out of sorts.

Pleased you've managed to go to a walk in centre and get some meds.

So take your meds, retire in front of the fire and surf utube or whatever, returning here to AB to supervise occasionally, you've still got the cattle prod I assume.

Take care and don't take a head dive down the loo ☺☺☺

[aelmpvw]

sorry to hear you're not well gness, take care

[anneasquith]

awe, poor thing, you will soon feel the benefit of the steroids.

[Psybbo]

Gness, you should have taken Tony and the goats with you, you'd have been seen in no time!
GET WELL SOON XXX

[gness]

Thank you all....you keep me cheery even when I'm grumping....and I shall curl up for a day or two and decorate the cattle prod with sparkly things.

The doctor was asking if I had banged my head....didn't occur to me til I got home that much of the rib pain is not from coughing....it's from rapid and unexpected contact with the toilet bowl....The pain is just where I hit the rim....Ah well....I can be slow at times...:-(

So I'll ring my own GP on Monday and ask...will it go on my records that I fell into the toilet?.....Urgh...sounds such an ageing thing to do....☻

[tonyav]

To bloody right, they would have seen her first just to get rid of me and my pets !.

[tonyav]

Hope the pills have a speedy affect for you, gness.

[SlackAlice]

tonyav,
you might have jumped the queue and got triaged first!

[Tilly2]

Gness, none of us is getting any younger. Take care. xxx

[anneasquith]

G, is it possible you may have fractured a rib,?

[tonyav]

SlackAlice
tonyav,
you might have jumped the queue and got triaged first!


I would have done the triage, SlackAlice !.

[gness]

Thanks, Tony......I know, Tilly but I'm trying to delay the falling about bit of old age for a while yet.

Anne...I'm beginning to be a little suspicious that I have done something that's clouded by having a chest infection in the first place....just never occurred to me before.

I'll rest up and check with my surgery on Monday.....won't go back to Corby in case Mr Happy with no teeth is still there.....☺

[tonyav]

Was it you that knocked Mr Happy's teeth out though, gness ?.

[gness]

Tony....I spent half an hour with Mr Happy and I didn't say one word or crack a smile or do anything to his teeth. He still carried on.

In the busy Honiton main street recently I was grabbed by the not so local nut.....he was visiting from Cornwall and wanted to join a boy band....I found out quite a bit about him before the daughter rescued me.

Why?...I asked her... Why me all the time? Out of all the people here?
She said it's because I smile and talk to people instead of looking ahead and not stopping when they approach me....she was wrong...

[anneasquith]

G.do you have someone staying with you tonight ? and no I don't mean a toyboy !

[gness]

Not even a toyboy, Anne....☺ But I'll get some help if needed....I think rest is going to be best....x

[anneasquith]

when did you take your first steroid tablet ?

[gness]

About an hour ago, Anne...I guess I can take Ibuprofen with them and the antibiotics?....Lord so many pills all of a sudden... :-(

[tonyav]

So you met an aspiring boy band member in Honiton then, gness what was DT doing out of Cornwall ?.
I have wrote you a percription, gness. Three double whiskeys ( with a little sugar if you want ) followed by a good nights sleep.
