Pilled, Poked and Prodded

OK - not the most polite of titles, but that's how I feel at the moment.

This week, I have developed a cold, so am taking the usual cold cures, lemsips, using olbas nasal thingies, lip salve for the sore nose, and zoffirex (spellng?) for the cold sore.

I've just had the blood pressure tablets checked out, and have also been given tablets for heartburn, which has given me a cough.

At 8.30 on Wednesday morning, I went for a smear test before work (like you do). It was extremely sore and unsuccessful. (Seemingly, a combination of old age and lack of sex does it every time.) I now have to inject myself (don't ask too much) for the next few weeks with HRT in order that I can redo the test. (Do you not think that in this day and age, some other means of getting this stuff out of a woman's body could be a bit more easy/civilised/less sore????)

Today, I had my teeth cleaned which was incredibly sore and stressful. Yes, I know, if I flossed every day, it wouldn't be so bad. Give me a break.

Tomorrow, I have Shiatsu treatment on my arthritic knees - also quite painful.

No wonder I drink.

Still - at least I have my health.
