Up Date Berwick

21 Replies

Berwick AKA Graeme got one days reprieve yesterday, my respiratory nurse called yesterday asking why my GP wants to talk to her so I gave her the message. My GP wanted to speak to her and ask her whether or not he was doing the right thing by keeping me out of hospital and put me on steroids instead.

She wants me on another weeks steroids dropping from 8 a day to 4 and 4th week of antibiotics.

I was supposed to be charity raising on Wednesday for the World COPD day at the local hospital only to be told by Kath that the only way that I will be at the Royal Glam on Wednesday would be in a hospital bed. Well that was me told. Would I go against Kath, Never and I mean that one. Now got an appointment to see my Doc on Tuesday. How do I feel well I feel like my two dogs bloody RUFF. If I feel like this on Tuesday Kath is going to get her wish

Oh dear Graeme, not good news. I'm sure you're really disappointed about missing the meet on Wednesday but very glad you're doing what your told. A bouquet to your wife for keeping you in line.

You and KOTC had better take care and do what your better halves tell you!

All the best, Pen

Honestly I am a doctor a millionaire and a bloody good liar.I am 6ft tall and 16 stone+ and as my son says dad mum is only 2 stone when she is wet and she can still put the fear of god in me.

It s just as well your wife has got you used to doing as you are told. Well done with your reprieve. Keep it up berwick. I look forward to hearing that you are much better. :-) :-) Alison

in reply toappyalison

Thanks Alison, don't believe that I always do as my wife tells me. If suggest something if I get the look of death and the silent answer, forget it I do not do it. After 42 years a married bliss she knows what I am like. Today is Sunday and I am afraid at the moment I feel worse that previous days. Alison it is like a very bad chest infection with a bad cold on top, never had anything like this one. Thanks again. Graeme xxx
