My garden can wait and I'm afraid your's will too John - not that I would have been tending it of course.
Thanks Bern, Jean was pleased to meet you the other day.
We were indeed in Blakes, but Peter makes a very nice soda water, lime and a couple of drops of Angostura bitters drink - a pint of, so more water.
I was going to try a Murphys, but decided to wait until I've finished the anti-biotics.
I probably am in a hurry to be back to normal, but do know that I must take things easy.

Take care old mate
I went to the Doctors
He said ''I've got some good news and some bad news.What do you want first?''
''Good news'' I replied
Well the good news is you have 24 hours to live'' he said
Shocked I asked nervously ''What's the bad news?''
''I should have told you when you were in yesterday''

if we are doing doctor jokes the only clean one i can remember is:-
doctor to patient "good news and bad news"
patient to doctor "tell me the bad news first"
doctor to patient "we will have to amputate both of your legs"
patient to doctor " good grief what possible good news can there be?"
doctor to patient "the bloke in the next bed wants to buy your slippers"

Thanks Marek - liked that one.
My Dad told me that joke many many years ago Howard - and he had had his leg amputated at the knee during the war: didn't seem to funny at the time, but I grew to laugh much later.
There could be a whole thread on Doctor jokes, but at the moment they escape memory - more senior moments I guess.

''Doctor Are you sure I'm suffering from pneumonia? I've heared once about a doctor treating someone with pneumonia and finally he died of typhus."
"Don't worry, it won't happen to me. If I treat someone with pneumonia he will die of pneumonia." replied the Doctor
A man went to see his doctor because he was suffering from a miserable cold. His doctor prescribed some pills, but they didn't help.
On his next visit the doctor gave him a shot, but that didn't do any good.
On his third visit the doctor told the man, "Go home and take a hot bath. As soon as you finish bathing throw open all the windows and stand in the draft."
"But doc," protested the patient, "if I do that, I'll get pneumonia."
"I know," said the doctor, "I can cure pneumonia."

Love 'em, thanks Marek - I love laughing, even if I'm on my own (I've just taken Jean to the hairdressers) it certainly is the best medicine, especially with the silly sense of humour I have.

it's good to hear that you are back home and getting out and about. As the others say it's always best to allow time to fully recover even though you will find it frustrating and you'll want to be back in harness and going full speed again!

Laughter is the best medicine.
Do take care though Roger, not wishing to nag, but you are still recovering and therefore still at risk from a secondary infection. We don't want you having a relapse.
I was an impatient patient too so I know what it's like!

Thanks for your good wishes guys and good advice Jeane.
I almost feel like a fraud just sitting here reading and posting on the Forum, but know I must take it easy.
I did some repotting of plants yesterday afternoon and some general (not heavy) tidying up and it was only for a relatively short time, but when I cam in, I felt like I'd been doing heavy labour all day.
I promise to take it easy today, but with Jean beavering away doing things around the house, I feel a bit guilty.

Thanks Marek - ouch indeed.
I am impatient to get rid of the cough; I thought it was worse when I talk a lot, but even keeping my mouth shut (Jean says "when's that then") it's still there - and irritating.

Roger I used to sip a tiny amount of lemon and honey cough linctus when I got the irritating 'tickle'. Water seemed to make me want to cough more. To stop myself hurting when I coughed, the hospital told me to use a rolled up towel and press it under my ribs so that I didn't feel like my left lung was going to burst. I looked stupid but it really did help.

Thanks Jeane, I'll try that - not when I go to the pub though, hopefully in an hour or so.
Roger
On the same principle I recommend Bushmills or Jamesons........

I have some lovely Malts, maybe now I've stopped the anti-biotics, I can indulge in one or two.
Must get ready for the pub !!
