Wii..you put such a smile on my face with all of your post. Glad to hear that all is well with the annual check up. As for the "poor me" well, heck, how could you not feel that every so often? I mean, we have all be kicked aside by our WAS and it rocked our worlds. You have such a smart, witty personality, I know you will eventually make it through all of this crap with a smile on your face. It is hard, but we do eventually survive. Thank you for at least finding the humor in an otherwise ugly sitch.

Thanks BH and Sol, after writing that last post I realized that often it's the people on this board who put that smile back on your face! It has always amazed me that so many people here, despite some incredible pain, still find the time to check in on others and give something of themselves. That's one thing my faith did teach me, when you feel like crap, do something for someone else. It really does work!
Well, today I'm off to the doctor's again to give him sh!t. Yesterday I was fine and today I'm coughing, sneezing and my back is killing me! I hardly slept last night, got up this morning, chucked my cookies, got dressed and then decided "what kind of an idiot would go to work like this!" So I phoned in sick. So, it's off to the doctors (I'm not waiting for pneumonia like I've stupidly done in the past), then to the chiropractor and then a massage. I am fixing this back thing NOW. I've had enough of wrenched shoulders! I cancelled my IC appointment for this evening because it's downtown and I will probably be passed out on the couch tonight! I still plan to check in on the kids at STBX's tonight, as I promised I would. Even though my appointment is cancelled, I'm still not bailing her out for the entire evening, I'll do what I said I'd do, that's it.
Gotta go, my ambulance is waiting!

Hey, that's what we're here for!!

Eeek, coughing up cookies is not good! Hope you get better, and the worst is past you!

Whatis has just returned from his Magical Medical Mystery Tour and the doctor made one more addition to the itinerary by sending me to an Xray clinic, he believes I actually do have Pneumonia. So, I finished up at doctors, got my meds and rushed to my next appointment at the chiro and massage therapists. Apparently, Whatis was 1.25 hours early and didn't know it. So the staff were treated to a special lengthy dose of my special kind of bonding. I'm sure all those smiling faces I saw when I left were just due to the joy I'd left them with. At one point I did suggest that I go out and watch people smoke outside, I wasn't feeling the love! Anyway, never fear, Whatis wasn't going to let this little timing difficulty ruin his good time so I read my first Men's Health Magazine and learned some really neat stuff:
1. Always call a woman when you say you will
2. Break up nicely
3. When trimming your nose hair never stick a sharp razor blade up your nose
4. Add spinach to your sperm
And you better believe I shared these gems with the whole office staff. After reading this Men's magazine I have also come to the conclusion that we men really are idiots, it's not just a rumour spread by women! Oh and you gotta love my Massage therapist, she said "Whatis, WTF did you do to your back". I especially loved when another therapist knocked on the door and she said "If that bitch knocks on that f'ing door one more time..." She's like a whole trailer trash sitcom only she's for real (and with soothing fingers too)!
So, after having my Xray done I have returned home to do whatever it is people with Pneumonia do at home.
Later Dbers, I gotta go check the fridge for spinach. Should it be frozen or fresh? Hmm.

Don't even mention the word 'ambulance'. I love those paramedics, but we are getting way too familiar for my taste, thank you very much. Just had my med increased and am floating --- coooool!

Sorry to hear you're not well, Wii (mmm, okay, not going there)! I am glad that you are still able to keep up the good humour though. Take care.

What humour? I'm dead serious, NEVER stick a sharp razor blade up your nose! Thank goodness for Men's Health Magazine otherwise who knows where else men would start thinking about sticking those razors! Apparently, we men just don't respond to pain...that's how I stayed married to my W all those years.

I've just returned from minding the kids at STBX's place. It's nice to see that not much has changed. When STBX came home she thanked my for looking after the kids and then we discussed plans for tomorrow night. I said I wouldn't be going to work tomorrow as I have Pneumonia so I would pick D14 up early and drop her at her sleepover then return to have dinner with her and D11. Did STBX say anything about my illness such as "hope you feel better" or "get some rest" or anything....nope! When we were married this woman would NEVER say anything sympathetic if I was ill, it was just incredible. She claimed she spent so many years listening to her mother moan about her illnesses that she has little patience for ill people. So nothing has really changed! Oh well, never expected her to be sympathetic but it still sometimes boggles my mind how someone cannot sympathize with another human being when ill or at least be able to fake it! Talk about being into yourself. Anyway, tomorrow is Halloween and we'll be taking D11 out for tricker treating. Yup, still doing the family thing! Now, it's time to suck back some cough medicine and hit the sack.
Later Dbers.

Just caught up - maybe you being sick is related to your recent "poor-me-ville" trip? I bet you are feeling better all over in no time...

Have fun with your D tomorrow.

I'm under the weather too Wii - hope you get better!

I'm also taking D9 trick or treating tomorrow! Yay Dads!!!!

Um, Wii, pneumonia is quite a serious thing! Are you sure you should be mucking about all over the place? Surely, you should be in bed, sucking down anti-biotics?

Make sure you wrap up warmly .... knowing your neck of the woods, it's probably freezing cold.
