I hate going to the doctor's office, or to the ER, because they are places where there are SICK people. Well, hubby and I had our 6 monthly checks last Thursday, and there was a lady in the waiting room coughing all over the place. Yesterday hubby had it AND a fever AND congestion, poor baby. He ended up taking today off and we dosed him up and he slept most of the day.
So, between his sciatica, and this nasty cough/congestion, he is in a very sorry state.
Then there's me, my hip and knees have been giving me gyp all day, as I pottered back and forth on my trusty walking frame, to the kitchen to wash dishes and feed ye animals, and to the front door to play the doggie do-si-do.
We make a fine pair, crotchetty and crotchettier. Well, I guess we are well-matched, and having been married 30 years now, we are doing the "growing old together" and with a definite helping of "in sickness" as a side.
Then we have our menagerie of ancients, other than Snuggles who is now about 3 and a half, everyone else is in double figures. 2 surviving chickens, Sadie our 13 year old Nubian goat, Max and Mystery 10, and Angel and Boo, almost 13, our dogs, and Gizmo, Bandit and Precious our 13 year old cats. We make an awesome seniors collection with all our ailments.
Suffice to say there's never a dull moment, that's for sure.
