MrWolf Posted May 31, 2023 Author Share Posted May 31, 2023 A certain famous brand available at pretty much any petrol station managed to put me off pasties for life. Also sausage rolls. Bleh. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MrWolf Posted June 1, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2023 Absolutely nothing done at anything this week as I've been grounded by norovirus. I must have copped for it on Sunday as I felt a bit odd Monday and by Tuesday I was pancaked. The Memsahib has been wanting to fuss over me but I've made her do it from a distance as her immune system is frankly rubbish and what would make me curse and grumble is likely to put her in hospital. I'm just beginning to feel a little better, the fever has subsided and I am certain that I haven't passed it on. I've slept (or rather not slept) on the sofa bed in the Room of Doom, being tormented by the Bench Of Bodge, At least that way the Memsahib can get some decent Z's and go off to work not carrying a bioweapon. 30 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted June 1, 2023 Author Share Posted June 1, 2023 Thanks all for your concern, apparently you contract it a couple of days before the symptoms kick in and then it's two to five days of the Rangoon Runs.... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I get frustrated with all the things I can't do when I'm hobbled. I suspect that is because I've never been one for catching colds and other silly things and survived far worse. 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have my professional head on here (Pharmacy Technician). The best advice is to drink lots of fluids and electrolytes and flush it out of your system. Loperamide will stop you running to the loo every 5 mins but you need it out of your system as fast as possible not suppressed and Loperamide will suppress it and it will last longer. Buscopan will help with both the cramping and wind and Dioralyte will replace electrolytes. Regards Lez. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold lezz01 Posted June 1, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 1, 2023 I've been a bit crook myself with a dental infection and the antibiotics have given me the same problem all week. So I've been living on Loperamide myself, I know I shouldn't really but hey it's better than running upstairs all day long. Different cause same problem.

RMweb Gold longchap Posted June 1, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 1, 2023 Hi Rob and I'm sorry to hear of your malady and glad to see you're doing the right thing and keeping to yourself while nature takes its course and Miss R is able to hold the fort and keep going with the necessities of life. Fortunately, you're in a splendid place to take an interest in something worthwhile when the time comes, hopefully soon. Best. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted June 1, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 1, 2023 Get well soon, Rob - it doesn’t last long and I hope it doesn’t shut Miss RRH’s hospital wards down too ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted June 1, 2023 Author Share Posted June 1, 2023 I've been going old school basic survival and have been taking medicinal charcoal tablets to knock everything out of my system and O.R.S. rehydration tablets and it's working, I had a chat with the pharmacist and he said I should keep it simple and just wait it out. I think that you'll all be relieved to know that Miss R doesn't work in a hospital as she's not exactly a people person. She's working on ways to stop invasive plants such as Japanese knotweed and reintroduce our own wildflower species. 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that place well, I might just have to make that my first stop off when I dare ride my motorbike again! I had similar thoughts about those other pasties, I'm sure that the potato isn't supposed to be raw and although I know that they're supposed to be well seasoned but not to disguise the fact that there doesn't appear to be much else in there. I once had the Lancashire version of a Scots pie, (can't remember what it's called) in the back of beyond somewhere near Nelson. I had to go back for another.... 3 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
