It's FABULOUS when it works!

hi all,
i was at the Royal Free in Hampstead with Sue today for an ENT con for her (that makes a change, I hear you all shout!).
Anyway, after the con, which was darned good, I must say, we were waiting for her prescription in the pharmacy, which is by the Cafe.
As we had a 30 minute wait (why do they always take so long to dispense just one item?), we decided to have a coffee and a double chocolate chip biscuit (Yep, I know, pure gluttony and so soon after Christmas).
Waiting for the coffee to be made, I looked to my side along the counter and there was a mum and her little girl, aged I would guess about 4.
And what was the little girl doing? She was running her tongue along the counter edge, IN A CAFE, IN A HOSPITAL, IN THE NOROVIRUS SEASON, and I just stood there thinking, "Ain't the human immune system wonderful when it works!!".

Hi John
Kids are great i held a 6 month old boy the other day and he pull everything into his mouth and tried sucking my hand (yuck) but it was worth it for all the smiles i got from my silly chatter. I have always been careful and over cautious of germs even before i was diagnosed.

I have a craving for double chocolate chip biscuit so thankyou for that :-)

Hi Malcolm,
I guess we are over-cautious, but you never know where we're concerned!
The biscuit was lovely, I don't feel any fatter so maybe I'll have another one!
Are you OK today?
We are both well, trying out a new car this afternoon, although we don't need to change, just be nice to see what it's like.
( boys and their toys Sue says!!)

Hi John
we boys need our toys, did you come away with a new car ?
I'm doing ok now after 2012 got me one last time with an infection and they changed my system and type of antibiotics and it didn't work so back to the drawing board.

Hi Malcolm,
Dont you just hate it when you take a whole long course of antis and they still don't work! It's such a waste of valuable time, but I suppose we can only blame ourselves and the stupid new bugs we keep cultivating.
I haven't had a successful culture for ages and all my antis are hit and miss, groan groan groan!!
We took a ride in a new Honda and it is certainly different to the 8 year old Honda we have!!! Sue is very keen, I'd love it but I'm such a tight beggar!!! Sue usually gets what she wants, well she got me!
Get well soon and stay in touch!
