Week 5 – Tuesday

Doctor Bloomfield has confirmed I am indeed anxious and stressed and has written me a prescription for Fluoxetine (prozac). Dunno whether to take it though as came off it years ago and feel I became addicted it it. Will keep in vast medicine cabinet just in case.
Mum rang me at seven thirty this morning to tell me she has a terrible upset stomach. I asked her if she thought it was food poisoning but she said she doubted it as had only eaten salads and paella (oh if only she knew!).
She remembered I had done Spanish at night school and wondered if I knew the word for Diarrhoea. I explained that the night classes were seven years ago and it was conversational Spanish and I had not come across the word Diarrhoea .
Anyway she waited on the line while I looked in my Spanish dictionary. I advised her the word she needed was ‘descomponerse’. I said surely one of them had taken trusty immodium away wit them. She said she had packed anti histamine and laxatives but alas not a cure for Spanish tummy. She said she would go straight to chemist after breakfast. I advised her not to eat anything but she said she had paid good money for an “eat as much as you can” buffet style breakfast and that is what she intended to do.
