To ring him at work

[moolady1977]

So I have the dreaded lurgy and my dp has gone to work and put all the meds back on top of the cupboard aibu to ring him at work and ask him to come home and get them down or do I wait till his break at 12 when he said he is nipping home anyway either way im late taking them and can feel my temperature shooting up

Francis I'm guessing it's in case op tries to climb any more furniture in her fragile state.

Get a grip woman and grow up. How do you think people cope when they live on their own. Why didnt you think to ask him to leave the meds next to you before he left for work? Your Mum and Dad are coming to take care of you. How pathetic are you.

Whoop whoop..

You sound like an absolute Princess OP stop being so bloody precious.

Is mummy going to read you a story?

Nobody surely needs to iron two days after a hysterectomy.

TBH H did something similar to me.
And didn’t even really understand why he got a bollocking because HE was finding it so easy to reach (but I’m not).

So either this is a wind up or she has a very unkind husband (like the one I have...)

Why on earth do your parents need to come to sit with you?

Fevered brow-mopping duties.

Op, are you 5?
My 10 year old doesn't want me to sit with her when she has the lurgy.
If you are seriously crying over a bad cold how will you feel with some of the illnesses many people on here have.
I have a disease in my womb, a disease that causes me to be anaemic constantly, I feel like I am in labour 90% of the time, I bleed more than a woman who has just had a baby. Yet I still get on with it - with no medication as I look after my young children. Doing the school run, cleaning my house and running around with my 2 year old. I still count myself lucky as I see so many so much worse off than me.
Im sorry you have a bit of a sniffle. But did your tiara fall off when you stood on a chair?
Oh, i do complain about a cold to DP...but inly because sneezing makes my already crippling pain worse. But never has he had to come home from work to help me.

Oh once he did, that was cos i was heavily pregnant and was supposed to be bed bound. I woke up in a pool of blood and thought i lost my baby.

I am actually giving my first biscuit out!

If your Dh was due home to " check on you " couldnt you have just waited for him and not climbed on the chair anyway ? YOu posted at 10:30 and then by 12:30 the great dizzy kitchen counter, rocketing event had already been and passed....

This thread wasnt really needed at all then was it ??

OP are you actually a toddler hun ? ( head tilt ).....

In another useless addition to this useless thread I would like to share that I have never heard of "The Lurgy", I had to Google it

I’m chronically ill. Some days I really struggle to stand up, take and collect my dd from school. So I have a child to look after. You sound truly and blissfully clueless what being ill actually means. You feel poorly and dizzy. It’s just one day. I’ve had 7 years of often severe illness.

The only time I was ever looked after like this was when I was put on low dose Amitripline for chronic pain. I was so dizzy snd unable to stand up. My mother came for a couple of days to look after dd until the symptoms had gone.

Even when I was collapsing all over the place at the beginning of the severe stage of ME, in the supermarket, in the rubble of our house we were having done up, I didn’t expect dh to take time off work. My body is still under so much strain that I regularly lose the ability to move or speak for periods of time yet I have no one to care for me. I cannot believe there are seriously adult princesses out there.

what do you have exactly? By lurgy I'm thinking a cold or flu type thing? Are you really really young?

This thread delights me and irritates me in equal measures

Delights me because there is someone this pathetic out there and irritates me... because there is someone this pathetic out there.

Wow. This five mins of my life I’ll never get back.

Though your typing and literacy is great for a small child.

You are an adult with a virus and your parents have come over to 'sit with you'?!

I'm guessing you haven't been around many people with chronic or life-threatening illnesses before, have you?

FWIW nobody 'sat with me' when I was recovering from major abdominal surgery and looking after a newborn. Or when I caught flu and had to look after 3yo DS all day.

I live alone and have vertigo. Last month I also had 'the lurgy' - strangely enough I managed to look after myself, get in and out of bed, make food and drink and even walked to the chemist for medication.

God forbid the OP is ever in the same situation and not a drama llama

You sound like such hard work and very precious . Grow up and stop being such a wimp !

nocabbage there are two types of Lurgy, the Galloping and the Dreaded. Very nasty, both of them!

I need a more adulty adult to bring me gin tea and cakes please!

Pathetic. Just pathetic.

I presume you don't have children?

Thanks for the laugh OP and the funny replies from contributors
