To ask for sympathy/commiserations: Bank Holiday from Hell

9 replies

WaywardTraveller · 22/04/2019 16:39

I'm probably being melodramatic, but indulge me. I was admitted to hospital on Monday with pneumonia. Discharged on Wednesday, to continue oral antibiotics at home, still (needless to say) feeling weak and generally shit. My partner has been looking after me and I was gradually feeling a bit stronger. Then, yesterday early evening I decided to go for a quick 5 minute walk to the shops because the weather was so lovely and I thought it would be good to get some air.

I was wearing these long floaty trouser things, and in my clumsiness (probably worsened by the pneumonia) I tripped over the ends and met the pavement with my face, smashing my front teeth. I went back to the hospital last night to see the emergency dentist, but of course I won't be able to get it properly sorted until tomorrow due to the Bank Holiday. I look like a meth-smoking hillbilly and am feeling entirely sorry for myself.

Oh God that made me wince. Poor you!

Oh no, OP, sounds rubbish - you’ve definitely had a terrible weekend.

If it makes you feel better, i’ve been miserable all weekend because i’ve got a bit of a cough and have been moaning that it’s ruined my weekend. Your post has put things in perspective a bit!!!

HazardGhost · 22/04/2019 16:48

You poor thing!
