Sue has added nurse to her collection of skills as she came to sit with me every day as I sat in hospital bringing me little treats and keeping me from becoming bored (though our attempts at the daily crossword were thwarted by our total illiteracy).
One of the side effects of the infection was almost total paralysis of my jaw for a while. This and an ongoing sensitivity in the teeth mean that I found it difficult to eat anything but the softest food. Sue used up some of our last raspberries along with some of the ripe blackberries in a jelly, so we have had jelly and ice-cream a couple of times this week. Fantastic!
Unfortunately Sue has been doing all this to her own detriment as she has been ignoring both a bad tooth and a chest infection. The filling came out of a tooth while we were on holiday, but when I started to experience problems I used her appointment (Sue is no fan of the dentist either). Sue had been taking antibiotics for a cough but they ran out and the cough continued. She did go back to the doctors again yesterday but they sent her to the hospital for an X-Ray and gave her an inhaler. Sue found out that you have to hold inhalers up the right way for them to work - at least that’s what the pharmacist told when she tried to return it as faulty.
