Just a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down, the medicine go down, the medicine go down, just a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down in the most delightful way..............That's it I am officially sick, and i have a suitcase full of medicines to prove it....... when my children were small we would always buy them a little " get well present", and the size depended on how sick they were and this would be judged by how much medicines they had been prescribed ............ well I deserve a diamond ring, a Porsche and a home in Monte Carlo..... and Richard Gere thrown in just for good measure ............. because I got a whole bag of medicine......
It started last week, with a leaking nose......... and then I started to cough, and cough and cough....... which I must say made me voice very low, and apparently very sexy ........ I was annoying everyone including myself by Monday I had a temperature , was having coughing fits, and my chest was closing , and there was no way I was landing up in hospital again .... so I phoned for an appointment at the doctor......... his royal highness......... the doctor.......... I was informed by a less than helpful receptionist, that there were no appointments left and the first appointment was 3.45pm on Tuesday............ what if I was dying........... what if I had a threatening something.......... what if I had a broken something........, what if I had serious pains........ but she was the lady with the appointment book and the pen, so she had all the power, so I very graciously thanked her for granting me this royal request. I couldn't risk being "nasty" because the last time I tapped my fingers on the counter in annoyance she ended up being the person who gave me the injection................... and yes, I know from personal painful experience that her revenge was sweet..............
Now it is so cool when you have an appointment, we, my youngest daughter and I, she was also sick so killed two diseases, with one appointment, because who knew when we would be granted another audience with the doctor.............the waiting room was full of people, all of who are coughing, sneezing , we sat down, and before I could start reading the scandal magazine, I wouldn't buy one if they were the last reading matter in the world............... the doctor called us to go through.....................
Well if looks could kill we would not have made it through to the doctors office, I could almost hear the combined thoughts of the people "NOOOOOOOOOOOO we were here first pick me, pick me" it was almost as though we had grown horns, or I had something hanging out of my skirt, or maybe my daughter had her jeans on with the "Hand Wash Only" sticker, but we were not popular, the joy of making an appointment................ plan ahead................... look and learn. everyone ............
Well after we had been prodded and poked, tapped, sticks forced unwillingly down our throats, the wax build up checked in our ears, and he had checked that our hearts were still beating, sometimes I wonder .................... he made his decision, my daughter had flu and I have an allergic reaction to something..................... so she only got 4 medicines and I got 6 so she gets to make the tea...............
Life is good ........................
