Sick

 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 ........................
