Fair enough. Do you want me to keep an eye out for skulls on the hills? See a lot of sheep ones....

Re: FML
I'll add to the pain posts with: my 'irritating' knee got worse, then worser, then didn't respond to physio. Suspected meniscus tear (crushed the cartilage and split it) and now awaiting an MRI ("oh the wait's not so bad, weeks rather than months") and possible/probable knee surgery. I can't walk more than a few steps and am basically very gutted. And a joy to be around 31, housebound with a two year old and I'm terrified I'll never walk properly again. I pretty much glare at people walking normally and seethe with jealousy.
Sometimes I google to find meniscus stories with happy outcomes, but the bad ones (I had to have it removed and now I have osteoarthritis at 39! They stitched it but I split it again! I've been on crutches for 17 weeks and no sign of coming off yet!) seem to clutter the top of the list.
I want some vicodin, to complete the Dr House transformation.

But while we're at it, I've a fibroid the size of a mango, pressing on my renal tract, causing me to wee endlessly and likely to need a hysterctomy.
Daire: I only had to wait about 10 days for an MRI for the offending fibroid-I was quite surprised at how quick I was offered it, especially as I'm neither in pain, nor likely to die. A few years my mum needed one for a trapped nerve in her back which she was in agony with. The wait was so long she ended up going private for both the MRI and the resulting surgery. The NHS is odd.

Re: FML
Oh that's quite good news. About the MRI. Not your bladder
I'll go get some of that Sopacocadene stuff, that's 12.5mg of the good stuff I think, and keep the codydramol in mind for the next thing I hurt myself with. I'm using a walking stick now, which actually really helps keep the weight off.
'FML's about pain are probably the most likely, if you don't have many relatives around to do mental things like bestow animal carcasses upon you

Re: FML
I kept waking up last night with the awful panicking feeling I'd slept through my alarm and was late for work. It happened 4 times, the last time an hour before my alarm actually went off. I've felt slightly nauseous and exhausted all day.

Re: FML
So Mr S told me there was a knackered honeybee in the hallway and asked me to help the kids feed it some sugar water off a spoon to give it the energy to go on its way... Some of you may have seen my rather embarrassing Facebook post with pictures of the 'bee' drinking from a teaspoon. Well, anyway, turns out the bee was actually a sodding fly of some description and now all my mates are laughing at me

I love the idea of Secret Santa suddenly posting out of the blue to tell us about a toilet training disaster Squirrel could respond to the post, so as not to arouse suspicion that it was her who posted originally.MacSplendide wrote:Lily wrote:Oh God.

I love the bee rescue too. This thread has cheered me right up.
