Laura Seabrook's Ramblings

Saw my G.P.  He thinks that the pain in my knee is only inflammation, and I have packets of IBProfen now to help reduce that.  Wss going to ask him about the lurgi I have but he got a phone call and said that he had it as well to whoever it was calling! The symptoms are:

• clogged head;
• mucus film at back of the throat;
• queasy stomach (especially on buses); and
• a cough (though I don't have much of that); and
• lack of energy.

No cure and taking antibiotics would be pointless. Just rest and recover. Also with the knee, try not to upset it until it heals. Hmmm. Was more or less OK walking Bobby this morning, but we stayed on the streets and didn't cut through the bush. Still sore though, all the time. And last night my sleeping was all over the place. I fell asleep while watching Dr Who and woke up just after it'd finished (about 8:20pm). But I couldn't keep my eyes open so I went to bed. And then woke up just after midnight, and couldn't get to sleep until 3am. Crazy dreams about cybermen heads. Had trouble breathing unless propped up or way on my side.

Went shopping but underestimated how much I'd do. I hobbled home with a walking stick in my right hand and three bags of shopping in my left. JUST NOT PRACTICABLE Might have to start taking the shopping trolley for even small amounts!

Found out where Gabby got to - now I have TWO CATS HIDING IN THE SHED. :(   At least I can feed them. Bought a choke chain for Bentley and we'll see how he goes tomorrow.
