It's Official #I can't take care of myself

[meegannie]

I have a really bad sore throat and feel all fevery and achey and indecisive and don't know whether I should force myself to walk into town today for medicine after the shops are open, or to wait until tomorrow morning when I have to go out anyway to the library and then to class. I don't have anything here apart from tea, and I'm drinking my last pint of fruit juice now. Actually, I think I have Strepsils somewhere but that it's it. I guess I'll call the health care place tomorrow and make an appointment to see a doctor so maybe I can find out why I'm sick all the time, even though I'm scared that despite NHS coverage, I'll have to pay for something. health care I'm delerious.

I really got depressed when I read " I'm drinking my last pint"
but then cheered up when I noticed you were talking about fruit juice instead of beer

silver lining

 

[meegannie]

Graphic representation.

 

[meegannie]

beer

love the robe

too bad about the bad hair day

 

[meegannie]

It's a Tottenham robe. It has those tall bird things on it.

Every day is a bad hair day for me.

 

[Salome]

Morissey should write a song called
"Everyday is a bad hair day"

 

[meegannie]

poor Morissey.

Are you a Spurs fan Meggie???

No sympathy.





















I kid, they suck as much as pool this year so we can sympathise together

 

[Salome]

I thought nothing sucks as bad as pool

 

[Angela Harlem]

Only Feyenoord

 

[Salome]

true!






and perhaps Inter

 

[Angela Harlem]

haaaaaaaaaaaaa

jimmy must love you like a hole in the head

 

[Salome]

indeedly do


this thread was about meggie being sick though


I suggest lots of tea

I know angie would support that idea,
but her therapist just called so she can't come online

 

[Laura M]

Thats a fetching robe Meggie

Drink lots of fluids

 

[meegannie]

My stomach really hurts and I'm freezing, despite the fact that my heater is turned all the way up.

 

[verte76]

I hate being sick.

 

[bammo2]

I think it's a poorly time of year. I went away to the seaside for the weekend (I just got back) but I spent all of yesterday throwing up

hope you feel better soon, meggie

 

[meegannie]

Hope you're better soon too, bammo.

I have an awful headache and haven't been able to stay away for more than 30 minutes all day, which isn't good since I have reading to do for class tomorrow. I wish there were someplace close by that's open 24 hours and sold aspirin.

meggie

i hope you feel better soon


zinc lozenges may help...the zinc boosts your immune system, at least they always seem to help me. cold eeze is a good brand...they also make a zinc gum too that is cinnamon flavor and tastes really good. i don't know what other brands y'all might have over there. gotta be careful to take it on a full stomach tho or it can make you a little queezy (er is that spelled right? )


if you're not feeling good you shouldn't go to class. just stay in bed if you can...well after you go to the health care place.

 

[Salome]

I actually do have one piece of advise
(I really know near to nothing about being sick
I haven't had a fever for over 20 years
yes, I'm a freak )

do make sure that you eat a proper meal
you prolly don't feel like it
but your body needs it

hmm: that might explain why I don't get sick
I always eat)

 

[bonosloveslave]

Feel better Meggie and bammo

 

[jkayet]

sick feel better!!!
NHS though... You'll have to pay for medicine, but it's like 6 or 7 pounds from what i remember...a virtual bargain compared to what allergy medicine is here someimtes...

anyway, feel loads better.
