*sob* here follows my continuing illness saga
I'm just back from the doctors because I've started having side-effects from the penicillin (kidney pain, laryngitis, abdominal pain, skin sensitivity and chills) and my tonsils are getting worse rather than better. She pointed out that I now have an eye infection too. So I now have antibiotic eyedrops and she's changed my penicillin tablets for syrup and gave me ibuprofen syrup because my tonsils are so swollen I can't swallow tablets now. I've to go back on Friday if there's no noticable improvement cos I'm at risk of developing quinsy.

I need a hug :( but gently so you don't touch my skin

Right, I really need to go and do some work now.

he was sexy back in those days
he's a bit rough-looking now though
( Jadeviper was still alive on, Wed 6 Jul 2005, 10:11, archived)

Sexy,
in a reassuring yet slightly sleazy way?

Each to his or her own, I suppose.

he wasn't sleazy!
and he had a brilliant detectoring mind. Sam was cute too, but in a minor way

I think that there was always the hint of "dirty old man" about him.
I mean, who was the bikini-clad lovely on his boat? She was probably young enough to be his daughter!

Nonetheless, Quincy was a fine show (up there with Petrocelli, Ironside and Columbo).

please?

Meh,
I could never really get in to Diagnosis Murder, for some reason (possibly, Dick vanDyke's moustache).
( monster munch person, man, woman... camera... TV?, Wed 6 Jul 2005, 10:23, archived)

One review I read of the series said
"Dick van Dykes moustache appears to be playing a seperate character".

Lovely stuff.

Ha!
I couldn't stand the baltant nepotism, either. Poor old Barry...

I'm very glad
I don't have one of the possible side effects cos it gives me the fear. "black hair tongue"... every time I think about it I get Black Hole Sun going though my head

Haha
and ew. Possibly not in that order!

Tonsils are more trouble than they're worth.
They should just whip out everybody's tonsils shortly after birth.

I had mine removed at age four. Mine were so fucked that I had a kidney infection as well.

*offers hug*
( Bob Todd whee, Wed 6 Jul 2005, 10:08, archived)

This.
although I managed to miss out on the kidney infection, my tonsils had actually scarred themselves to the back of my throat.

Have a family value pack of sympathy on me.
That sounds absolutely horrendous. A tonsillectomy is worth the pain not to go through all that.
( Nimble Colin camera-wrangling, globe-trotting whisky enthusiast, Wed 6 Jul 2005, 10:13, archived)

I'd rather keep my tonsils if I can though
they're the first line of defence - how much more ill would I have been if this infection had got all the way in?
( Jadeviper was still alive on, Wed 6 Jul 2005, 10:15, archived)

I had mine removed along with my adenoids when I was 6
and I've only had minor illnesses since apart from various degrees of food poisoning. As far as I can see, it was a very worthwile operation although I wouldn't believe anyone that told me at the time.
( Nimble Colin camera-wrangling, globe-trotting whisky enthusiast, Wed 6 Jul 2005, 10:19, archived)

it hurts then? :(
more than the pain I'm in just now?
( Jadeviper was still alive on, Wed 6 Jul 2005, 10:21, archived)

No.
I couldn't talk for about 24hours and I had a sore throat for maybe a week but had 2 off school. I'm pretty sure it was far less that the suffering you are going through now though.
( Nimble Colin camera-wrangling, globe-trotting whisky enthusiast, Wed 6 Jul 2005, 10:24, archived)

I can't talk much at the moment
partly cos it hurts and partly cos my larynx has swollen as a side-effect of the penicillin. the ratbag keeps asking me to read her stories and stuff :(

I might ask about it on Friday if things aren't improving
