COLD DARK ROOM

[JSWallace]

I have written several papers on palaeontology and contributed to some books since i was quite young, but my major work on the subject won't be ready for another few years, that's my magnus opus or magnificent octopus if you prefer.
I have had a story adapted and published in comic strip form, some poems printed, articles in Doctor Who Magazine and fanzines and have a couple of things being published soon on Morocco, on hitchhiking and stuff.

That all sounds very impressive and clever!

The terrace immediately below Mr Adam's balcony jutted out a good bit further from the building than his own, so Mr Adam always had a fine view of what was going on down there. This balcony belonged to an attractive middle-aged lady called Mrs wifey. Mrs wifey was a widow after her husband had been manged by a Wool-spider and also lived alone. And although she didn't know it, it was she who was the object of Mr Adam's secret love. He had loved her from his balcony for many years, but he was a very shy man (ahem, ahem ) and had never been able to bring himself to give her even the smallest hint of his love.
Every morning, Mr Adam and Mrs wifey exchanged polite conversation, the one looking down from above, the other looking up, but that was as far as it ever went. The distance between them might not have been more than a few yards, but to Mr Adam it seemed like a million miles. He longed to invite Mrs wifey up for a cup of coffee, tea, a glass of Mountain Dew or Chablis and a biscuit or some Cheddar, but every time he was about to form the words on his lips, his courage failed him. As I said he was a very, very shy man. (yeah, right).

The airplane should have been over the last picture of Mr Adam watering his plants, but I forgot.

Oh it's all so romantic. So how did you lure her to your terrace?

Good morning all. Not good news. I am off to the doctor as the swelling has got much worse overnight and now extends down my harm by a couple of inches (5cm )

Just as well I removed my wedding ring before I went to bed. It was getting too tight

I'm back. My medical centre is brilliant.

As I had spoken to NHS 111 before the surgery opened, they knew about me and gave me an appointment at 9.10am.

JoesDad had an appointment at 9.15 with the practise nurse for vaccinations for his business trips to India, which was handy timing, so he took me.

I am now on the strongest antihistamine she could prescribe to me and also antibiotic. Fingers crossed that I start to deflate soon!

I feel fine, just itchy and it's hard to use my hand

Autsch, it hurts me to look at the pic of your hand and arm.
I hope the doctor can help you.

I hope the meds will work. Have you tried to cool your hand and arm with cold water ?

The expression on Mr. Adams face as he is looking at Mrs. Wifey scares me !
Mayby it scares Mrs. Wifey too.

Ah thanks that is so kind of you, I see we are exactly the same age! I am actually a very happy, optimistic person so yes I know that life will be better this way, just sorting all the practicalities is a bit daunting! And I am not actually alone I have son and daughter living with me and their boyfriend/girlfriend are around a lot, and their is also the dog, the cat and of course the tortoise!

Good thing you are not alone !
The tortoise will comfort you, they are very sensible ....

 

[JoesMum]

I've tried the lot - ice packs, cold water, sitting with my arm raised...

Sadly, it seems meds are the only way this is going away

I missed our first post about this. Did you get stung by something?

I am not Linda ( Joes Mum ), but I know that she was stung from a wasp two days ago.

I hope you are feeling better! You may need some steroids to keep the swelling/inflammation down. I'm so so glad you removed your ring. That could have been problematic.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.



Sorry. I didn't complete reading the thread before I replied. Glad you were seen. I'm sure you will be back to perfect in no time.

I love India. Which part is Joe's Dad working in?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

It will all work out for the best and life is good really, I have a lot to be thankful for

And there are people who care right here.
Support, love and best wishes going your way.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

That all sounds very impressive and clever!

Indeed.
That's me, very impressive and clever.
