Hello phoenix
I really do hope that you feel much better soon
Do you have a oximeter? If Mrp is going shopping perhaps he could pop in a chemist and get one.

Fanny I wouldn't dare risk it! He'd probably come out with a truss and a breast pump!

Phoenix ..... you always make me laugh ?.

Hello phoenix

Phoenix I hope this dose of antibiotics does the trick. Poor you. I would offer George Clooney but I'm clutching him to my womanly bosom. (I wish) You have such a way with words and make me laugh. Take care.

merltogran that is brilliant.
pants such thoughts as those you are harbouring over Rufus Sewell will have you put on the norty step and if Miss Charleygirl is around she’ll wash your mouth out with soap ?

Oh poor Phoenix. You could clutch a soft pillow to your bosom, bend forward and place the top of your head on the floor. That way your head and chest will be sorted, your mouth will be hidden somewhere in the middle and the rest of us can have some peace and quiet ?

Sorry, you know I don’t mean it. Seriously though, have you thought of bending forward over a pillow a bit. I find if I have a really bad attack of asthma that bending forward takes the pressure off the lungs and makes breathing easier. I know you have a chest infection but it might help.

Really hope you feel better soon. Gentle hug ?

You do make me laugh Phoenix - thank you xx

Poor you Phoenix, much sympathy, I really hope the next lot of antibiotics help and you can keep out of hospital. You do such a wonderful job of keeping us laughing, we need you!

Phoenix it’s funny, when we were young my partner used to have to run out to the chemist for tampons for me.
A decade or so later ... he had to run out for sanitary towels ...
A couple of decades on ... and it’s Tena ...

Womanhood is glorious, isn’t it ? ?

Merlot that was a good one ... well done.⭐️

Oh whatever!!

I need some more pads, but Mr P won't let me go into shops, so he's said he will get some

... knowing MrP's reputation, this could turn into a very entertaining thread!

Well you definitely don't want leeks this time!!!

Hop you feel better soon

tchgrin

We await with bated breath.

However, if it hurts when we laugh, phoenix, perhaps we don't want to know

tchgrin

Oh, poor you, Phoenix As Rufus Sewell is, apparently, otherwise engaged would a far more mundane approach help? I'm thinking of a wide scarf bound around your ribcage. It's surprisingly effective, if not as exciting as Mr S! In your condition, excitement may not be a good thing!

Thank you all!

I need some more pads, but Mr P won't let me go into shops, so he's said he will get some.

Now, bearing in mind that when I was shielding during Ist lockdown, and I needed leeks for a chicken and leek bake, himself couldn't find any, so bought a cauliflower instead so anything could happen!

I can sympathise, phoenix, having clobbered my ribs last week I dread coughing, hiccuping or sneezing.

Keep taking the tablets and get well soon.
Sending TLC but no hugs.

merlotgran excellent! Hoping a laugh isn’t a stretch too far for poor phoenix.
Stay in a warm temperature and keep drinking (not alcohol!).
As Doodle would say “it will pass”. ???☕️
Sending Get Well Wishes to you and sorry you feel so poorly.

phoenix Never fear, Max Bygraves is sending you positive vibes.

You need hands to hold all that you care for,
You need hands to show you have no fear
When you feel nobody wants to know you
'Cos your cough is going up a gear,
When you hold your ribs and bladder,
You need extra hands to hold it all in place,
You need hands to thank the Lord for Tena
So you can cough with a smile upon your face.

No offence intended to Mr Phoenix, I am sure his chest is acceptably manly, but hey a change is as good as a rest. Get well soon.

My ribs are currently not up to being clasped, I'm making do with a gentle pat on the shoulder.

I’m afraid Nortsat that Rufus Sewell has a prior engagement....?

Charleygirl you can leave your hat where it is!

Had a telephone consultation last Tuesday, then face to face on Wednesday, another telephone one yeah hence the second lot of meds.

One of the receptionists who lives nearby even delivered them to me!
