Ok so a few of you may know I'm not one to moan (my hubby is falling about laughing!!!!) but I need to rant:-I'm ill AGAIN!!! I've got another chest infection. As soon as I realised my chest felt a little bit "wrong" I got myself to the doc's and almost demanded a course of anti-biotics. She was a little bit surprised at me being so forceful but once I explained about the pleurisy I suffered before Christmas and the fact I do not want to go there again she relented and prescribed the tablets. What I found a little bit disturbing was the fact that as I walked in she said "Oh you're not who I thought you were!" (in case you didn't guess this isn't my usual GP). Unfortunately I have the same name as my mother-in-law and she thought I was going to be her!!! So I'm really glad I did go in to see her and not get a diagnosis over the phone!!! I know I look rough at the moment but she had put 25 years on me before she saw me!!!!
OK rant over...Sorry folks silly humour will resume in the next few days I hope!!!!
Love Kate xxx

    Hi
    Oh dear, sorry to hear you're not well again. At least the Dr realised by looking at you that you were the wrong person, she knew you looked younger than the record showed :P Just think how you'd feel if she thought you looked old enough to be your mother-in-law :cry::cry: Anyway, take care and hope you soon feel better :lol: Suexx
