My Health. Adults Only

Now some of you know and some of you don't, but I haven't been well lately. I've been coughing up blood. I've been to the doctors and hospital and had x-rays and blood tests. The Doctor said there was nothing wrong. So I coughed in a tissue and asked

"So where has that lot come from then?"

So she said she would talk to a specialist and give me a call on Tuesday. But I still haven't heard from her as yet. So I guess there is nothing wrong with me, apart from coughing up blood that is.

I haven't actually got much confidence in her. She said she had to get a second opinion, then got on the phone and rang NHS direct!

But it's not the coughing and the blood that worries me. Or going from freezing cold to dripping with sweat in a matter of seconds. It's something far more serious than that. I haven't managed to knock one out for about four days now!

Normally it's at least once a day, every evening minimum, twice on Saturdays, Sundays and My day off, sometimes three times a day if I'm feeling especially rampant. But I don't ever remember going four days without. Even when I was in intensive care I managed to knock out a quickie every couple of days.

I even tried earlier on this evening. Thought I'd have a little nap in case I end up on here all night. Climbed into my bed and my hand went straight there, just the same as usual. But not a sausage, just a chipolata. I even tried the old trick of lying on my left arm until my fingers went numb so It felt like someone else. But still no joy.

I'm hoping it's just down to lack of sleep. I haven't slept much lately because everytime I lay down I start coughing. If not it begs a serious question. Do they prescribe Viagra to single blokes so they can knock one out properly? And if not why not? Is this yet another example of how single people are discriminated against in this country?

Now here is a fit bird.
