illness

[bigpaul]

without going into graphic details, yours truly in NOT a well bunny, i picked up a D & V bug( in my case without the V just the D!). bought some duck eggs on Sunday from a new supplier and wondered if they had been out in the sun too long, but spoke to Doctor today and she says i have picked up a VIRAL infection, i know there is a bug going round. Doctor says they DONT give anti biotics for viral infections and i just have to wait until it clears by itself- could take up to a WEEK, i've been ill for 3 days now-so another 4 to go-oh whoopy dee! OH is making up a Manuca Honey 15(VERY expensive) and meadowsweet tincture. by the way, if any of you are ever ill, DONT bother with NHS DIRECT, complete and utter waste of time, they couldn't or wouldn't help, and they were supposed to ring us back- but NEVER did- either phone your surgery or if really bad 999! anyway, the main point of this post is, you may like to think about what you would do in a similar position AFTER TSHTF when medical services MAY not be available ( and YOUR S is hitting the Fan-or is that the PAN!)
