LOL. I wonder why you didn't like it, TAPS?

hahaha, Johnmacnab
I did something like that when I was a kid. I was always climbing something and I fell and broke my arm. The day I finally got the cast off, I went home and tried out climbing again. I fell and broke the same arm. I hadto stay in the hospital a whole week that time. I'm not quite sure why, but I didn't like it.

Thank you TAPS. I won't go out too soon, honest. I'm reminded of the time I broke my femur in a motorcycle accident when I was 19. In those days you lay in hospital with your leg hooked up at a 45 degree angle, for months. In my case it was 4 months. When I got out on my crutches, the first thing I did was get my mates to hold my crutches and help me onto the motorbike.
Ii had it all figured out, As long as I put my left leg down when I stopped at junctions, I would be OK. The problem arrived when the gutter at one stop was 3 feet deep on my left and I had to put my right leg down. It wasn't strong enough to support the Triumph, and the bike fell on top of me.
The surgeon who did my leg was apoplectic with fury when he saw it was me. I learned my lesson then - my leg wasn't re-broken but it took an extra month of crutches. Sorry Mr Baxter!

I'm glad you are feeling a wee bit better. Don't go getting out and about too soon. We don't want any relapse here.

I still haven't got around to reading or commenting yet, ginnie, (which is why I don't understand your 'time zone' comment) but I'm feeling much better. It's a hard place to leave, isn't it - Blogitland I mean, and I don't even know what time zone that is in.

I sympathise with your fight against bronchitis, smartdog. I've had that t-shirt a few times. I'm glad to hear that you are slowly winning the battle. Take care.

Good to hear that you are recovering. I myself have been slowly getting over a war with bronchitis for the last few weeks.
Be restored,

majroj! If I ate the brownie and got the shot what state do you think the health service would be in? It relies on idiots like me to find cures.

When I read your instructions I went running to the fridge, TAPS but we don't have any onions left. I feel too limp and useless to go uptown tonight, but first thing in the morning, I'm off. I may just ask Ell before I go if she is hungry and whether she like a tasty big Mac-Onion. Thank you TAPS. I'll let you know how it goes.

ginnieb? You're back? I feel better already.
I wept through a few paper handkerchiefs when the ceremony was being aired, ginnieb. Thanks for the compliment, young lass.

Old remedy that really works. Cook a large amount of onions just until limp and hot (preferably the old fashioned kind that mak you cry when you cut into them). Spoon the cooked onions onto a piece of warm cotton flannel and fold it into a square poltice. Place it on your chest (You might remove your PJ top first) and leave it until the warmth is gone. Discard those onion and make another with more of the hot onions. Keep doing that until all of the onions are used. The longer the better. But watch out for ELL. It might make you smell good enough to eat.

Thank you TAPS. I'm convinced the coughing is going to slice my head off level with my eyebrows - and sometimes I wish it would.

It galls me to admit it, majroj, but you are 100% right. I should have enough brains to realise that flu shots at my age are almost essential. I'm drinking my non alcoholic juice, though. Do I get a brownie point for that?

Thank you Pat_B. I was a tad hasty in thinking I would be OK today. Last night was another coughing nightmare. Today is yet another day of biding my time and waiting for the health rabbit to appear.

Sorry to hear you've been sick, Mac...
...but thankfully you're on the road to recovery! And I see your writing is just as fine as ever! Good to see you and godspeed till you're fit as a fiddle again! My mom relayed the televised Remebrance Day ceremonies from Ottawa to me...wish I could have seen them.

So sad to see you've been ailing in such a manner. I feel for you a coughing like that. It can seem at times that there will be no end to it. May you get better day by day until you remember it no more.
