Diary of a CyberChondriac

So after work last night I went to see the nurse. Turns out I have got conjunctivitis. She gave me a prescription for some anti biotic eye drops which I had to start using straight away. She said it is highly infectious and that I should use a separate towel etc.

As my mum had undergone her bunion operation, I had to visit her in hospital so I had to buy an eye patch at the chemist.

Julian picked me up from Manda’s and he went into hysterics when he saw me. He answered all my questions with ‘Aye Aye capt’n or yes me hearties’. He said it was a good job I had had my tooth fixed or I really would have looked ridiculous.

I asked him why dad was not visiting and he said dad does not think hospitals are places for men to visit. Although he had given Julian some cucumber and tomatoes to take from his allotment (unwashed ). I advised Julian not to give them to mum if he wanted to live.

She was not in a good mood and was on a morphine drip so kept nodding off. The nurse said she can come home on Monday and the district nurse will visit her daily. As everyone will be around at Anita’s, Julian arranged the ambulance to take her home and Anita and my Aunt Beryl will see to her in turn.

Anita would not be lifting a finger during the move anyway. Ivan and his seven brothers will do all the graft.

Anyhow, I went in to work this morning and told Kirk I will take the job. He shook my hand and welcomed me to the management. He said he will show me the ropes starting Monday and that he will share my work out between Manda and Bernice. I advised him that I had Monday booked off as it is my birthday nut he said I would have to cancel. First rule of management is that you have to drop things at a moment’s notice. I didn’t want to screw things up so I have greed to work on Monday. I did not let on that I had decided to have entire weekend off instead.

Anyway I moved into Mark’s tonight for a couple of days. We celebrated with a bottle of Asda’s finest Asti Spumante (Mark is allergic to champagne ) and we watched a dvd.

Looking forward to a nice lie in and will have to ring Rex and tell him my news and cancel Mondays lunch date.
