Itchy and Scratchy redux
Friday, September 18th, 2009 04:27 pmHo hum.
I have cracked and arranged an appointment with the Quack for Monday afternoon. The Itch Begone soothes, but has not cured my shin and I think it may slowly be getting worse, so before I start limping into grunge territory, I shall go and see the doctor.
No doubt he or she will take a cursory glance, prescribe something that will make my leg drop off, and then tell me that I need a blood test. I must have been a real rat in a previous incarnation: doctors always want to stick pins in me and draw blood as often as they can. Well, that contradicts my maximum one-bodge-in-the-arm-a-year policy. That said, it’s ages since I let them have their syringe full, so if it shuts the buggers up…
I doubt that the cachet of giving up smoking is still current and if I tell them that I have lost just over a stone in weight, I am sure that will be shrugged off with an encouraging ‘lose some more’. Still, I have timed it so I can leave the office at about three on Monday afternoon, so it’s not all bad.
