Re: Absent Recently - Sorry
Well, last Tuesday week we went into Cambridge to see 'Becoming Jane'. My wife loved it, but I started feeling a bit ill. Developed sore thoat but was booked for series of locums every other day for couple of weeks, just got this weekend off now. Felt a bit diabolical and my wife pressed me to cancel. However head reasonably clear and all pharmacies had competent dispensers so carried on sucking pastilles and taking Vit c and some amoxicillin.
What puzzled me was that my colds etc are usually gone in couple of days, this one still lingers.
Had I been in industry would have had the time off. reminded me was one of the reasons why I got out of retail in the 60s. You could not be ill in those days as few locums.
The only time when I have had to cancel at last minute was when I had vertigo and could not stand up. that was the start of my being diagnosed with blood pressure. ended up three days in hospital.
