Default How the Meds can turn into a comedy!!!

I can't stay long as this chair is killing me and I need to have a lie down.........................

Now most of you have probably sailed through your Meds eh??

Not us...........

Last night as I was painting the bathroom ready for the estate agents visit on Friday. The toilet seat I was standing on to reach the hard bits (yes I know what was I standing on a loo seat for!!!) exploded beneath me

I ended up with my left foot down the u-bend and the rest of me smashed up the frame of the shower.... Assesing the damage and retrieving a very wet slipper I ... couldn't walk,had a swollen ankle bruised and graised back brised arm and all in time for the meds today

Didn't sleep last night because my back hurt so much.

Anyway.... got to the Medical Centre, doctor looked at me as I was trying to pretend everything was OK, saw the sweat and the fact I could hardly walk and sussed me out

Then..... 18yr old son has his very first blood test and all 6ft 2" of him passes out, hits his head on the wall and has a convultion

Doctors and nurses everywhere, the other kids in panic (they hadn't had theirs yet:scared: )

Then after booking the appointment specifically at this time to avoid lady's thingies my 15 year old has hers 2 weeks early and they won't do the urine test!! (have to take one in next week).


All that and it only cost £757.00

Those of you awaiting your meds wrap yourselves up in cotton wool the day before:lecture:

Oh wow, we have ours in two weeks time and your story has scared the life out of me.

I don't think I'll be going near the toilet now for the next fortnight, although perhaps that wouldn't be too fair on the Doctor !

I think so.......... unless they find something nasty in my blood which is another story..........
The nurse couldn't find a vein after much proding.
She passed me onto the Doc who says he is the best blood letter in the business

Turns me into a pin cushion, he ends up using two syringes one on each arm in the nastiest hurtiest vein possible has to use a syringe to suck it out as I'm not very givish in the vein dept....

End up with 4 plasters

Sorry but 'laughed out loud' VERY LOUD

This was the funniest thing I think I've read on here. Warren came rushing down stairs told me I had to read it.
I'm so sorry it's at your expense, but I do think it's 'the way ya tell 'em'
You should write your own comedy show - Ben Elton watch out.

Do hope you are feeling better soon

OMG, you and yours don't do things by half do you? You will be laughing about this for years to come especially as you will slay the dragon in the process.
