Have they given you something for the pain?

FIngers crossed for better platlets next week.

Sleep well Zomb.

HerRoyalFattyness · 30/08/2016 23:12

Hope you sleep well zombie

UTIs are nasty. Did you get any AB for it Zombie?
I really hope the blood is just to do with UTI, nothing else. FX!

I probably have asked this before but do you have a favourite colour or colour combo?

Hope the massage is easing your pain. Also I was thinking whether you might have carpal tunnel in your wrists - water retention can cause that. Just a thought.
Sleep well sweetie.
Sleep well Phalanx

Just read back, loving the Hungarian banter BBB & Hearts Grin & thanks all!

Fatty I remember your dog
We went to Bocketts farm last Wednesday and after hugging and feeding all the animals never mind a puppy, Zinglette now wants a pony, a few piglets, 2 Nubian goats, a cow, some ducks and all of the sheep.... .
And wants to be a vet. Here she is, kissing a horse. The child has no fear

Like a house on fire Fatty 😁

She was hanging off a llama's neck and didn't even flinch when it tried to munch on her ear!
I was sighing at the thought of being invaded by a menagerie! I love it that she adored them all.

HerRoyalFattyness · 31/08/2016 00:38

Just buy a farm Grin

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 31/08/2016 00:48

Sure sure.
Let me plant a few of these first!

Oh if only they were real. Never mind a farm, I'd buy a zoo. I'd have to make sure they didn't try to ride the lions though Grin

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 31/08/2016 01:23

Snap.
Or dance with wolves😂

HerRoyalFattyness · 31/08/2016 08:13

And not to mention cuddling the real life "teddy" bears Grin

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 31/08/2016 13:35

The Toronto Zoo is particularly fetching at this time of year. Anyone fancy a visit?

Mummylin · 31/08/2016 18:57

How are you doing today Zombie ? Feeling any better ? Is your doc going to ring with results of urine test ASAP or do you have to wait until next week for that.

Mummylin · 01/09/2016 13:14

Thinking of you today Zombie and hoping things aren't too unbearable for you today.

HerRoyalFattyness · 01/09/2016 14:47

Hope you're OK zombie

Allalonenow · 02/09/2016 10:29

Hoping all is well with you Zombie Thanks

IamtheZombie · 02/09/2016 11:36

Morning.

My GP has just rung. It appears I do have a UTI - Group B Haemolytic Strep. Antibiotics will be available for collection this afternoon.

Fingers crossed that they will clear it and I will start to feel better.

Do NOT Google Group B Strep infection in adults with a severe underlying health condition such as cancer.

Mummylin · 02/09/2016 14:52

That is like a red rag to a bull Zombie ! Now has to investigate this. Glad that at least you have a reason for something, hope anti b,s soon do their trick.

Mummylin · 02/09/2016 15:00

Oh my god Zombie, that is quite scary. Hopefully nothing like that will develope for you. You have had the infection diagnosed quickly so fingers crossed all will be well.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 02/09/2016 15:29

Oh fuck Zombie how much more do you have to put up with?

As Mummylin says hopefully the quick diagnosis will help.

IamtheZombie · 02/09/2016 16:36

Penicillin V collected and first dose taken.

Mummylin · 02/09/2016 17:08

That's good Zombie, get it in you ASAP so it can start working. Are they a strong dose ?

IamtheZombie · 02/09/2016 17:13

It's 2 x 250 mg tablets 4 x per day, lin. That works out to 2 gm per day. Sounds strong to me.
