Week 1 - Friday
As I suspected, the throat swab showed an infection. I have to go to the surgery to collect a prescription for penicillin. Of course I am layed up with my back so have texted my sister Anita to ask if she could collect it fore me. She texted me back informing me that she is at her son Miles’s school assembly. Luckily I still have my dad’s walking stick so I will hobble down there later.
Had trouble getting dressed. Had to hook my knickers onto a coat hanger then wriggle into them. Bra out of the question so is a good job I am flat chested. Managed to slither into a velour jogging suit, apply some lipstick and shove a banana down before I left.
A ten minute walk took half an hour (not coz of my back, I bumped into Fred and Jean, my nosey neighbours). I got all their latest news. Fred’s piles have been terrible. He’s had to apply an ice pack hourly and the anusol is not working so he’s ordered some suppositories from the doctors. Jean has been floored by labyrinthitis. She told me she had been weeding for two hours and the doctor said all the bending down had brought it on. She was swaying as she spoke to me, said it was like being on a ferry crossing.
Back home.
Managed to heat a tin of soup up and am now resting whilst watching an episode of ‘Maury’ titled “Only one of the Siamese twins is mine”. These people make my family seem tame and that’s saying something.
