(OT [1]) Is There a Doctor in the House ..?

... just sitting drinking coffee, and had one hiccough. At the same
instant, a huge (and I mean fucking _humungous_) spasm went through my
chest like the fucking Beltway sniper had just aimed one at me.

I now can't stand up straight, my breathing is shallow and if I move my
head back to look up, it feels like the muscles are coming out through
the flesh.

It's not a heart attack (sorry..), as I've had it before and it goes
away. A google gives me this...

I reckon it's the intercostal stuff. Thing is, I've got mates coming
over tonight, and the place looks like a fucking bomb's been set off in
our living room. How am I supposed to tidy the place if I can't fucking
move?

Any ideas?

[1] sorry for the plethora of off-topic posts

I would ring the doctors straight away or NHS direct or whatever it is
called.

 

Not an option: I'm off on hols in just over a week, and won't have time
to see the mates again before then.

Getting old fucking sucks. Nah, no point as I've had it before, and
know it's not lethal or any shit like that. It's just fucking sore.

D.

 

Tough. Health is important m'kay?

Or get 'er indoors to tidy up.

 

Poke things into place with a long stick.

At least put Blog in the Subject:.

Funny you should mention that.. I was thinking of that as I lay in bed
last night. They have something vaguely similar over on FRM. Why not
have '[Blog]' or '[OT]' or '' or whatever in the Subject: field ?

It'd probably take a Bear Decree to make it official on UKRM, but I
reckon I'll start doing it from now on...

I can't: she's at her parents' home in Auxerre.

Quite.

Where OT stands for On Topic, right?

 

Get a (French) maid.

 

Why bother .. SO has all the kit...

D.

 

Get her to do it then.

 

Bullshit's posts aren't 'blogs'; they're 'e-mails to self'.

Well, there's tidy, and then there's manky. Books and papers lying
around are one thing (and they're used to that), but as the cat is in
Bourgogne (we're spending Chabbat there, so I sod off tomorrow), the
mice have played a bit too much, and the soup stains on the floor of the
kitchen, the shitty skids marks down the lavvy, and the layer of dust
over everything, are just a bit too much for what little pride I still
have in this place ..

Anyway, I popped two of my sooperdooper painkillers that knocked me out
during the recent bout of toothache, and the pain is 80% gone. So
tidying has been done..

Doctor? Hmm... I'm a qualified Marine Mammal Medic. Can you swim?

"Tidy"... no, don't recognise the word. Would you like a thermometer pushed
up your rectum?

 

I read too many David Taylor books as a teenager and wanted to be a
zoo vet. Then I found out what A levels you needed to get into vet
college and decided the drink and men option was easier.

 

Oh, don't get me wrong - I just did the one-day BDMLR course and learned how
far you could push a thermometer into a seal or porpoise. Learning the vet
thing looks like hard work.

 

Take a knife and end it all
