Penicillin

Katy is poorly this morning.  I have the usual painful discussion with my doctors' surgery (because I do not want to see Dr Black), and in the end accept an appointment tomorrow with a locum.  We discuss whether or not we will go to cinema or not.  I agree to make the decision at 10 am.  Martha and Katy have invited three friends to join us, on cheapy tickets that I downloaded from the internet.  By 10 am, she is looking much better, so I decide to stick to the trip. 

Izzy Jones, Ella and Rosy all head off to the Printworks, on the tram, with Martha and Katy.  We go to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2.  I am happy to sleep through most of it!  Katy comes to sit with me saying she doesn't feel well.  She is alright on the way home. Vicky (Ella's mum) helps me look in her throat, and we can see pussy tonsils.  When we are settled, she is showing a temperature of 39+.  Fortunately, my friend Louise has come to catch up (she is Martha's guardian), and she takes us to a NHS drop in centre, in Boots, in town.  Katy is diagnosed with tonsillitis and given penicillin.  Martha finishes her second course of antibiotics today, and Katy starts a new one.  I am exhausted!

My other news is that I have contacted my doctors' surgery, by email, to ask for my travel insurance form.  They have had it for a month, which I think is far too slow.  I receive an email from someone with poor punctuation and grammar ( eg she wrote "i" a number of times, rather than "I"; her sentence structure was illogical too).  I forward it to the Primary Care Manager, who replies to say that the form is being completed.  Basically, I am losing my temper about all of this.  When I get chance, next week, I will move to Chorlton Medical Practice. 

Bed time for me!
lots of love
