Sick Selkie Syndrome

Okay, time for a health update...

Starting with the fact that I have got my second cold of the season (although it doesn't seem THAT long since I was having my last cold of the summer season)... I've got a chesty cough, bunged-up nose, and a death rattle every time I breathe!

Then there's the on-going saga with my leg, and the tests I've been going for (see here for most of the gory details)... Well, now I'm on 2 lots of anti-biotics, because I've managed to get a bug back in the wound (it's that well-known one that's an anagram of the 4th planet from the sun), and I've been prescribed Metformin as well for the glucose intolerance / PCOS (which it's beginning to look more and more like I've got, but I need one more blood test yet to confirm)... combine those tablets (5 a day) with the vitamins and supplements I'm taking, AND the decongestants and cough medicine I've now got, and I'm like a walking pharmacy!

And, without going into too much detail yet (I'll bore you more with this in the beginning of the new year, when it's likely to happen), the "next step" for my leg is going to be embarrassing in the extreme, and not a lot of fun... let's just say it involves a dirty great big bandage, a blockage somewhere in my lymphatic system, and 2 - 3 weeks of hobbling around looking like I've broken my leg!

People, let this be a lesson to you... Get Regular Check-Ups From Your Doctor, And Don't Bury Your Head In The Sand!
