Writer's Block: Swine Times

[rdfreak]

[Error: unknown template qotd]
Well now, I am not going to cut my writers block entry for today, because this was a subject I was going to prattle on about in here anyway.
Since I last wrote in here I've been hearing news about this flu starting out in Mexico and there being suspecting cases and deaths beyond, in America; which causes panick.
I am starting to panick, especially when I know that people are coming and going from this country every day, not to mention I heard we have over 90 suspected cases; 24 being from Victoria.
Sure, we're not exactly as prone to it, because we're a country to ourselves, but people will still insist on travelling.
If i had of known about this flu outbreak while I was stuffed-up with the cold in the U.K, I may have been really scared!
I guess I needn't worry though unless there's a proven outbreak around here, then I will simply stay put in here for a good long while, and have a mask for when I absolutely need to go out.
In other news, I haven't been very well at all this week. From about Monday or tuesday i have had absolutely no energy, and everything i did, every which-way I moved made me tired. I did go to work anyway though.
I thought eventually, maybe it was some kind of reaction from my Iron infusion, but I called up one of the nurses yesterday, and she said that if at all, people will only experience things 24 to 48 hours afterwoods.
Yesterday I felt quite sick at work, and it resulted in my upchucking (lovely, i know!) but the boys were good to me and fortunately, understanding. I did feel better after that little outburst though, but I caught a cab home, just in case.
Nan came over yesterday, and in her usual fashon when she comes over, she'll have a lovely tea cooked for me, but I didn't really have that; I did have some toast, and was in bed listening to Neighbours. I've got the extra tea in the fridge though, so that's good!
I feel fine now though!
Got a docs appointment Monday.
I will be going to Lilydale hospital on the 25th for a Gastroscopy and a colonoscopy requested by me specialist to make sure I'm all OK there, and here! Lol -- Not looking forward to the bowel cleaner the night before.
Til next time, RdFreak
P.S. I feel most of this entry was about sicky stuff; wow! I guess it's too late to warn my readers not to read if you're eating! Lol
P.P.S. I am going to try some more ANZACs tomorrow I think. Oh, I gave one to my boss yesterday; how nice of me! :)

Gastroscopy and colonoscopy. You poor thing. Neither are fun but hoping for good results for you.

Thanks for that!
I heard that now public hospitals have a different drink to private hospitals. I'm public but have been told I'd be going to a private hospital, so who knows what I'll be allowed to have. heard the private one is a tad more pleasant; I think you actually take tablets.

it's day surgery, so they don't give you the stuff, you buy it from the chemist and you do it yourself (your gasstro hasn't explained all this?) so it depends what they tell you to buy and what the chemist has.
anyways, it's not what your taking/drinking that's the unpleasant bit, that's not the worry, it's the actually cleanout.
