Falling apart at the seams

I think that some one is trying to tell me something!
A month ago I had a strangulated hernia and was operated on at 3 in the morning.  So yesterday morning I had a follow up consultation and everything is fine ... except now that the intestine can no longer come out there, it has decided to push through at the site of the hernia which was repaired some 20 years ago.  I am scheduled to go for this to be operated on 23rd September!

But more ... I hadn't felt 100% on Wednesday but nothing drastic until at 2 am I was shivering uncontrollably and just could not get warm.  During the course of the night I was having very high temperatures but seemed to control it with paracetamol.  I felt well enough to go for my hernia consultation but back home I wasn't getting any better.  So Sue took me to our GP who told me I had a temperature of 39.8 C and he sent me to Emergency for a blood test and a chest xray.  Only one doctor on and waits of 2-4 hours.

At about the 2 hour mark a couple arrived and the lady was Cecile who we play Bridge with ... and she had exactly the same symptoms as I did!
I was then taken through to be examined and the doctor said virtually without looking at me
"Oh it's Bronchitis"  He then proceed to go off alarmingly saying that my GP could have treated me at the surgery, and he even phoned him and left a message!!!  Once he'd calmed down and read the letter about my previous history which my GP had included he decided he would give me an xray "in the next few days"

The doctor gave me 3 pieces of paper, all totally indecipherable.

Fortunately the Pharmacist was able work out that one was the prescription for my meds, one was for the xray and one was a letter for my GP.  Goodness knows how there aren't cases of the wrong drugs being supplied.

I am therefore at home, feeling grotty, and waiting for the medication to start.

Still more ... this afternoon Sue took me for the xray.  Obviously we had no appointment so were given the first available ... next Tuesday at 15.45.  I'll either be better or dead by then!!!!
