I've Had One Of The Worse Weeks Ever.......

[Jeza]

Called NHS 111 on Sun. 15 mins for them to answer, then ½ an hour answering questions. She said out of hours service will ring you. An hour later they did. No info had been passed to them so I had to go through it all again. The man I spoke to said he would send the Doc within 2 hours. Doc arrived 5½ hours later. She didn't even take his temp. She prescribed 'simple linctus'. A total waste of a day.
Monday I rang the surgery. Doc came within the hour and prescribed steroids and Anti-Biotics. She considered sending Mic to hospital but knowing how he feels thought he would be better at home. He is now on the mend.
Which is more than can be said about me. I have the worse cold I've ever had. Coughing, sneezing, every bone aching. I suppose I'm a bit run down. I'd love to go to bed with a hot toddy but can't. So press on I will.

A mention for Kvalidir, Saw your post earlier, thanks for thinking of me.

It all comes at once and yes, you will be exhausted. All you can do is try to nap when Mic does and keep up fluids.

Hopeyou are oth much better very soon. xxx

[Mamyalynne]

Hopeyou are both much better very soon. xxx

What a nightmare. Sorry you are feeling so rough what with everything you are coping with. Try and have a hot toddy, a blanket on the sofa and feet up for a while - if you can xx

[boxtops]

No wonder you feel low physically, jeza - get that hot toddy when you get a chance x

[tonyav]

Hey Jeza, hope you and Mic are on the mend asap. I know how you feel with that manky cold, I had it for two weeks. Anyhoo have yourself an hot toddy later.

Hi Jeza, glad to see you, I hope things improve. Should you and Mic have flu jabs?

[Butterbun]

Wishing you every good wish jeza. It's not easy coping with such a bad cold. Take care. (Hugs)

We missed your posts and thought you may be ill Jeza - or Mic - or both. Hope you both get better very soon, big spoonfuls of neat honey for your cough. You are really run down as you know, that's why you feel so bad. Glad Mic is recovering now. We are all thinking of you both. Please have your flu jabs soon if you haven't already x

Jings Jeza, that's really awful.

Glad Mic is on the mend, just try to look after yourself (easy to say, I know).

Well at least your alive. and haven't got Ebola or any other life threatening dieseses, but wish you both a speedy recovery.

[Zacs-Master]

The worst times always seem to happen at the weekend don't they. I admire your strength and hope your cold is better soon.

[mazie]

I've just got over that Jeza,even my toes ached..I know it's easier said than done but take every moment of rest you can and drink lots, water that is ;0)

take care xxx

[Jeza]

Thanks for all your answers, it is appreciated.

TRT, whilst my cold is not life threatening it is difficult to deal with while caring for Mic as his disease IS life threatening.

Good to hear from you Jeza, keep warm and drink plenty. Sending you both hugs . x
