Night Howls

@JJ70 - I've always thought that early childhood teachers deserve the BIGGEST medals. Poor you.

@JJ70 tough adjustment and the couch sounds like the best place to be!  I’ve had swollen ankles since I’ve returned to work as well, longer days worse than shorter and on my bad days I’ll be asleep on the couch feet up as well

@Sarnicad - there is some comfort in knowing that a fellow BC warrior ends up as I did on Thursday after a hard day. Thanks for sharing.

I went camping, drank too much wine and was awake at wtf o'clock needing to pee. You'd think by now I'd know better than to lie there expecting to go back to sleep. No. 
By about 1:30 I'm busting and crawl out of the camper, knees clamped together I try to get far enough away to not pollute the campsite, realise the bloody hound has crept out after me and is not on the lead. She does not come when she's called and the place was heaving with things to chase.
Messy, really messy. Chasing the dog, farting, pissing myself then having to clean myself up in the middle of the night.
That was fun. I love my menopausal body.

@Zoffiel You are the Van Gogh of word pictures my friend. I'm sorry that happened but f**k that's funny!

OH dear I laughed so hard I had to make a dash myself thank God it was at home just up the hallway with knees clamped together like @kmakm
said you word pictures are so expressive .... SO sorry for LOL not ... but sorry I nearly peed myself laughing at your word picture.

Oh dear, the joys of camping AND animals ..... so aptly described!  OMG @Zoffiel .... I am just glad there was no-one close by with a video handy!    (BTW .... in our small campervan, we use a bucket as I can't be bothered getting out & about early in the morning either!    )

@Zoffiel
That is why I now only subject this way past menopausal body to the joys and delights of a 5 star hotel for camping!

Hoping for some advice..... was always told to go straight to hospital if temp is 38 or over. I'm sitting here with 37.5, raging headache, and a chest cough that's rattling. Do I wait until the temp hits 38 before I go? Don't want to go to the hospital unnecessarily and waste doctors and nurses time

No Go

Make sure you take your chemo card info with you.
Better safe than sorry.

Zoffiel

Hope you are OK @KezzaG but it sounds like you need to make sure. Mxx

Thank you Zoffiel. I received a message from another member who said err on the side of caution.  Now in hospital hooked up to fluids and antibiotics. 
Thank you for messaging me back. Really appreciate it.

Zoffiel

Oh bugger, what a nuisance but good on you for being sensible. Nothing like a Sunday night in the slammer, try to get some rest.

How are you doing this morning @KezzaG? Hope you're feeling better.
