The Perils of Pip

Well I tried to see my Dr yesterday evening about the nasty bite on my leg .. but they couldn't fit me in. By 7:30pm it was worse so I went to A&E.

Very nice lady there said I'd been bitten by something nasty and was having an allergic reaction. What worried her more was the chance of infection. To that end she have me strong pills and told me to stay at Home for 24 hrs as;

a) the pills knock you out

b) I need to keep the leg up for free circulation to avoid infection, get air to the bite

I was impressed by how quickly I was in and out of A&E and the nurses were really sweet as well .. One of them gave me some strong antihistemenes and when I mentioned that I wasn't sleeping due to the heat, she said "Oh have a glass of wine when you get Home, take one of these before bed and you'll sleep like a log !".

I went Home via the big Sainsburys and got a large fan for £12, which seemed a bit of a bargain.

But when I woke up this morning I didn't feel in extremis so I've come in. But I have shorts on and my leg up on a stool.
