Water Tablets.

β€’47 Replies

I went to see the doctor,

Cos my ankles were so big.

With massive ankles that size,

I could never do a jig.

She put me on some tablets,

Which my old Mum used to hate.

They tend to make you pee a lot.

When they work you cannot wait.

Before we ever took Mum out

We would take a look at the site.

Establish where the loos were,

And keep them well in sight.

Check she had the money,

In case she had to pay.

And pray that there'd be no one there

Who might get in her way.

When I'm out in my campervan

That doesn't worry me.

Cos I have got a bathroom there

If I ever need to pee.

My rhymes are intended to let you do that, Kitty. Just mind where you tread and wipe your feet as you come out.

I do enjoy the trip, wherever it is you take us, but I really appreciate how humble and kind your non rhyming verse is, it confuses my mind, not common for me to be around talented nor kind people, let alone both

That made me gulp, Cookstir, thank you.

Master Po this little ditty is probably one of your best

So i had to put it to the test

Scruffy purred as i read her each line of prose

Her whiskers twitching each side her nose

But alas whilst sitting astride my knee

She had what can only be called a pee

So your useful advice on water retention

Was very much worth a mention

Love ski's and scruff's x

Brilliant Don. I also clock all the Loo's nearest wherever we are....though it could be the few Vino's that bring on a wanting Tiddle. xxx

Mine used to swell up,but stopped wearing socks,

so nolonger do.

β€’ in reply tosyntax

Someone else suggested that to me, I'm going to try it, thank you. My nephew has always pulled my leg about wearing socks with saddles for some reason or other. I'll show him your message to stop him claiming victory. πŸ˜‰

Could he have meant feet with saddles.As the

feet now have the leather on and not the socks ???

β€’ in reply tosyntax

I doubt he meant socks wearing saddles without feet in them, but you never know. BTW where did you get your name from? I didn't know they'd taxed that! 😱

I do miss my official proofreader majji . No one has mentioned the two clangers in my poem and now every time I look at it that's all I see! She would have been on to it in a flash. ⚑⚑

No pressure Margaret, no pressure. πŸ˜‰

Lucky you, Don! πŸ‘ Your planning put me in mind of trips out with my Mum, who eventually succumbed to bladder cancer. It led to much hilarity along the way, even guarding a cubicle, or queuing on her behalf until she could make it to the 'venue'. She always said she felt like the Queen - "She never has to queue for the loo either?".

Mum almost had an 'accident' - listening to Billy Connolly rambling on about incontinence knickers......! 🀭

Haha! Hope you're doing that jig now, Don! xx Moy

I’ve only just been to pick up my prescription, first tablet tomorrow morning. My PR classes are not gong well. Last week they sent me home β€˜unfit or purpose’. Yesterday they would only let me do sitting down exercises and made sure I went to the doctors straight after class by making the appointment there and then. Apart from my fat ankles I don’t feel all that bad.

Oh my golly gosh,I'm so very late in reading your "wee rhyme"(to be read with a Scottish accent) and once again Mr.D,your rhyme and banter with young man skischool ,has me laughing and laughing!!😁. After the morning I've had,it was like being given a magic πŸ’Š pill and I was nicely distracted and laughing out loud! Can I not ask for it to be available on a prescription basis? Wouldn't that just be so good.....better than any CBT !!!

Hi, I'm on water tablets and have the same problems. My district nurse gave some very sound info, wear an elasticated stocking, it helps with the circulation and could even help reduce the swelling. Mind you they are a so & so to put on but worth it.

Brilliant. The nurses ask me if I am on those when my ankles swell up clue to all the steroids I am taking at the time. Luckily they go down again, once the steroids are reduced down to around 10 to 20mg. No pleeese I don't want to take Mummy's tablets........

Thanks Don and friends! How do I post a picture on here?

β€’ in reply toJANET127

Which gadget are you using to access the net? iPad? Mac? Windows? It appears to be different depending on the machine, stone-UK is the man to ask. You can't include photos in a reply, you'll have to start a new thread and you've already done that with a photo of yourself. (very nice too!)

Hi

Don is correct you can only add photos to a post, not a reply.

As you have already posted a image, no more to say.
