I have been sick. Horrible, awful, nasty but not quite “I JUST WANNA DIE!!” sick. Unfortunately, I died anyway.
I plan to have an Irish wake. I’ll be the one in the coffin enjoying a pint of Guiness. They say I’ll look better than I did when I was alive… shouldn’t take that much work to accomplish that I’d imagine.
I haven’t decided on the date of this wake yet or even the place but I’ll inform everyone as soon as it’s arranged. I’m also open to suggestions as to the place. I figure that already being dead and all time really isn’t of the essence.
This blog will therefor be written by a ghost writer from now on and since I have no plans for the near eternity…
That wasn’t that funny… I’m sorry you are feeling so sick and hope you get some relief soon. You can’t die, your not done livin yet.
Hello from the other side, janeywan. I know I’m not done living yet, that’s what’s so aggravating about the whole thing. And you have no idea how much of a hassle it can be negotiating for a second life can be. Maybe I can make a deal on a rent-to-own type of thing?
K8 drives a hard bargain when it comes to your adoption. Was dead the ONLY way you could come to an agreement?
Sixty: Actually, death came before adoption. And so far the only criteria is to make sure I look like more of a layabout than she is.
Well will you please choose a WARM location for this wake? Thanks! Oh and hurry and get well soon. The blogging world misses you.
Not funny at all!
Get well soon, we’re not letting you go yet..

Good grief – that was a shock! but i’m glad you are still around!
Get well soon!!!
Elaine: How’s somewhere in the Caribbean sound? Should be lovely this time of year.
Cat: The title was meant all in fun. But this has been the most nasty bug I’ve ever had since my experience with a yellow fever vaccine. Didn’t mean to startle you though.
Kate: Good to see your smiling face in the comments section. Sorry the title was shocking. Guess I shouldn’t ever attempt writing up a post when the black plague has me in it’s grip?
Just had a cup of fenugreek tea. Awful stuff but should loosen things a bit.
Be careful it doesn’t loosen more than you think! Its sounds dreadful – black plague eh? Thank goodness I got here in time!!!
Looks like I’ll need another cup of that tea. My lungs feel like they’ve been layered with old fashioned horse hair plaster. I’m supposed to be going down to the VA tomorrow and I’d hate to see the doctor when I’m sick?
It’s not that easy here – when I need to see a doctor I ring for an appointment – do I get one? No – I get a doctor ringing me back to see if I’m ill enough to be given an appointment.
Still don’t like the sound of that tea – have you tried alcohol – or is that a worserer idea????
Alcohol? As much as the idea appeals to me I’m afraid it’s a worser idea as my burned up gut (service related type of thing) can no longer tolerate that type of cure. More’s the pity of it.
So what’s the deal with doctors in your area? Do they just keep calling back until you’re well again?
“Hello?”
“You still sick?”
“Yes.”
“Get back to you then.”
Next day:
“Hello?”
“You still sick?”
“Yes.”
“Get back to you then.”
3 days later:
“Hello?”
“You still sick?”
“No, I’m over it now.”
“Ah, you don’t need an appointment then.”
Seems a bit self defeating on the doctor’s part don’t you think?
Well I think its just a money saver – or a germ saver – after all I don’t want to sit catching everybody elses stuff in a waiting room.
Sometimes it works – when I get sinusitis – they prescribe anti biotics over the phone – and I get better….. when I had my breakdown last year – I don’t remember ringing,but I did – the doc rang back and I told him I couldn’t move or drive or leave the house – what did he say? ‘Get down here for 11.00 ‘ and put the phone down.
I got there – don’t remember doing it…. then loads of drugs, 3 months sick leave and told to find a new job. Not the best time to look but I found one and came out the other side. So it worked!
I do hope you feel better soon!
Getting to the other side (been there myself several years ago) can be quite an achievement indeed! Glad to know you made it.
Been to my “local” VA medical facility (Veterans Administration) yesterday and they say I’m over the worst of it and gave me some cough syrup. Good thing I was already down there for a previously scheduled appointment or I might have had something to say about having to make a 4 hour round trip just for cough syrup.
And I also want to see if this reply tries tries to squeeze itself into an even skinnier area within our comments thread or if it just gives up and starts anew. I have it set for no more than 5 nested replies. Still not sure about using threaded comments yet.
The whole thing confuses the hell out of me if I’m honest – my son sets up all my blog sites – skinny comments eh – shame it isn’t that easy with people!!! Keep taking the medicine!!!!!
