after saturdays exertions sunday was spent in lot of pain and after all the dust id inhaled i was really chesty. so much so i could hardly breathe and was rather worried. so much so i rang dr monday and made appointment to see dr.M monday afternoon 4.20 he examined me and said chest infection wasn't being shifted by antibiotics he had given me. noooooo you reckon?? lol ermmm i did forget to mention all the dust and crap i had inhaled. well you do,dont you. lol he has put me on steroids a weeks course of strong ones. short sharp shock was how he put it. and i must say,i am feeling lot better already. 8 a day. added benefit is they are also helping my ankle. which he says is due to arthritis and should be rested nodded head in agreement to that ahem. so,lets hope they work.
apart from getting few more hanging baskets and pots planted up ready for summer garden i have been taking things easy. mum has got to have blood test done friday morning,a fasting cholestrol test, so will have no food from tea time til we get back from surgery. poor her.
lastly, and sadly, someone who means world to me has tragically lost her beloved brother Mark died suddenly monday only 43. a very sad time for her and all the family.
take care all and for those in pain and hurting may you all find peace

I'm so glad you are feeling better Mort. Sorry to hear about your friend. That's so young to go!
Give your Mum a hug for me, ok? Rough time for her.
Take care...and REST!

Wow! glad the doctor hi the nail on the head and got something that would give you some relief, and the added relief of the ankle is great. Home Mum's test's are good and she also gets more re;ief form the gout.
It is always sad to hear about someone's passing, especially SO YOUNG!
Hang with it over there! Jack

Glad you went to the Dr though and even better that he gave you some steroids. Hopefully they will clear things up...fast...I know my sister who has CPOD has to have steroids as soon as she gets a chill or more breathyless so much so that she has a permanent prescription but she dosn't like to use them to often....Have a lovey day, I got my hanging basket filled the other day fingers crossed no more frosts..Love Syb il x
