St Cross Stitcher's Ward

[Mumof3]

My DVT is actually 2 one in thigh one in calf (why can't I be nice and simple?). On tablets only now and don't have to give myself those nasty injections anymore. I've got a sick note for this week so lots of stitching time!

[agi]

Hi, all, I thought I would be OK and went to school this morning. But soon I realized it was a mistake. I am shivering, can't talk, and weakallover, so I had to come back home. I will see the doc in the afternoon.

Until then, can I have my bed back, please? And a cup of hot tea, perhaps? Thank you so much.

[Serinde]

I knew you'd be back, but I've changed the sheets. Fresh beds are... refreshing. In you get!

[Angel]

*kisses agi* You take care of yourself and feel better soon.

Angel can walk now, so I be checking out. I have dance class this evening though so.... hehe maybe I be back

[Serinde]

Just don't wear those boots!

[Angel]

Mys been banned from wearing the boots...and my pole dancing shoes...to salsa class. "If you wear flat shoes you dance like a man. Wear heels" Followed the next day by "Good lord woman! How high are those heels? How do you expect us to reach over your head with those on?"

*giggles in amusement.

[Serinde]

Sounds like a shoe-themed rendition of the Three Bears. Perhaps this time you'll find a pair that is Juuuuuust Right.

[Angel]

You see, I don't know what's wrong with my pole dancing shoes. They have a nice heel so I'm dancing on the balls of my feet. They have a sloped sole so I can spin beautifully...So what if the stilhetto heel is about 6"



I tend to wear normal heels now with only a 2" heel.

[Serinde]

Those are some shoes, girl. Glad to see they also have a platform to compliment the height of the heels... The guys only complain because all of a sudden you are taller than they are, of course. 6-inch heels would just about make me a normal height... not good in the garden, though, amongst the peas and beans. *sigh*

[Angel]

hehe, well the tallest guy in my class is 6". I'm 5'10 without shoes. The shortest guy in our class is about 5'5" And for pretty much most of what we've been doing, his hand needs to be above my head

Aren't they beautiful though! And ever so comfy now I learnt to walk in them. It's surprising really, especially since I fell down in them once (NEVER walk downhill in these beauties) and I managed to do some major damage to my toe nail. Turned all black with bruising and bent it. Still hasn't grown out. But now they're amongst my comfiest shoes.

How tall is aunty Serinde?

[Serinde]

Auntie Serinde is not tall at all. Auntie Serinde is small but perfectly formed, if a bit round now in her decrepitude. When I was young, I was all of 5ft 3/4inches. That fraction meant a lot to me. Why were all my beaux 6ft and over, we wonders? (tee hee)

[Angel]

Angels maths teacher at school said angel needed to do more maths in her everyday life. Rounding up is maths. And so I will forever round that up to 5'4"

Angel thinks round Aunties are the best. Who wants a bone sticking in your ear as you go to hug them? Noooo a little bit of round is absolutely perfect!

need some advice from the nurses

im giving blood, for the first time, in 2hrs, and have been busy de-cluttering i forgot dinner what shall i eat? i dont fancy fainting on my first session

[Angel]

Something with iron in it. I always get a sausage roll before donating.

[Lisa]

ewww i dont like sausage rolls

hmm ill stick me head in the kitchen and see what we got

[Angel]

Oooh I adore Gregs sausage rolls, and the gregs is just across the road from the blood bank too

The reason most people faint is because giving blood depletes your iron, so anything you can find to bump that up is good. I always find meat is particulary good. Then just take it easy, if you get too hot tell them right away and they'll put a fan on you, this is another reason for fainting, people over heat. And sit up slowly. Don't rise until your ready and don't walk until your ready.

But most importantly, relax, the nurses have excellent reflexes and I've never been injured there. Heh, they've managed to catch me and my drink at the same time Then get like an orange juice after. Don't get a hot drink afterwards.

[agi]

Oh, I had to scroll all the way down for this thread - which is good: it means I am the only person not well here.

I have mostly recovered from my bug, have been working this week, but I have been having a terrible headache all the time. I have bought an infrared lamp to warm my face, and I also take all available medicine and drink all possible teas and eat honey and whatever - I am still not well.
Well, only one more day...


Luckily I have no student this afternoon (although I WILL miss the money) and now I am off to bed.

However, on a more positive note: choir practice was much better yesterday, actually it is getting better and better each time. Only good thing in my life atm.
I have just slapped my own mouth for saying such a thing. I have to get a gripp, really. How can I be this negative???? I have a lot of good things in my life. I am off to start a new thread about it - before going to bed.

[~threadbear~]

Poor Agi, sometimes it's hard not to feel a bit negative when you don't feel so well.
Here, have some nice to cheer you up!

[kerbear879]

Please make my allergies go away!! I have been sneezing like crazy for weeks now.. The OH actually said to me yesterday that he was afraid the house was gonna blow down since I have been sneezing so loud!

[Serinde]

Auntie Serinde trusts kerbear's house is not made of straw. *check check* That's fine, sneezing will not affect the property value.

You come and make yourself comfortable in the anti-antigen room, where all ticklies will be removed from nose, bronchial tubes and so forth. Ahhh, nice and comfy.

*AAAAAACHOOOO*
