I haven't been so well lately.
On Friday night I was threatened with an ambulance and managed to wiggle my way out - then again this morning.
Asking me to go in an ambulance is like asking me to jump off a cliff... well actually been known to do that quite happily.

I was once swept out to sea when I went swimming after a floating toy of my son's and a rescue boat was sent out to fetch me.
I told them to put the floating Whale in the boat and I would swim back - no way was I going to climb in the rescue boat.

So I succumbed to seeking proper medical advice today, signing up with a doctor is a nightmare here. And they can't see me till Monday.
Next step go to the pharmacist, who can't speak English...
and tells me I need to see a doctor to get anti-emetics, she didn't even know them as that had to tell her I needed something to stop me hurling cats..
Suck on an ice cube, she told me, you are getting dehydrated - I wanted to throttle her.

So here I sit, about to venture out to the hospital.
I hate admitting that I am not well
and I am the worst patient

UPDATE: BP to blame 220/120 Doc said he would send the police to find me if I don't report in again this morning.
He had a great sense of humour and understood my fear of Doctors.
maybe I have been having too many happy horny thoughts
loves and hugs

On a more serious note
it is my heart that is messing me around again.
February last year I had what I dismissed as a heart hiccup
and I walked away saying I could cope with anything
now I have to face the fact that my heart ain't as strong
as t should be.
