Where have I been?

Postby Stu Merckx Man » Thu Nov 13, 2008 4:11 pm

A few people have been asking where i am etc, so i thought i would give Y'all a low down.

well, on thrusday 23rd of october, i came down with a cold that lasted until the next tuesday (or so i thought).

i went for a ride that wednesday, with adam (big mistake with the kind of form he is in). the next day i started coughing up the nasties, and i had thus contracted a chest infection (whats new!? :roll: ), and some more tonsilitis (whats new again!? :lol: )

the follwoing thursday , 1 week later, i went to the doctors and got prescribed some anti biotics for my chest, but she thought my tonsilitis might be viral. i finished my anti biotics last night, but i still have a bit of cough going on, and the tonsilitis is still bad. so i went back to the doctor today, and she took another look at my throat and is now sure its a bacterial one, so i have been prescribed some different anti biotics for 5 more days.

encouragingly my doctor says its the worse case of tonsilitis she has seen so far this year...a wins a win right!? 8)

hopfully i should be better soon!

Get those tonsils whipped out, they're just surplus weight and are slowing you down. While you're at it, get your appendix taken out too.

Damn, bad luck Stu.. I suppose if there's any time of the year to be ill this is it. Enjoy the rest before you start training again, there's still oodles of time to fit all the miles in before the serious racing starts :D

Stu, they are right, get those pesky tonsils removed. Make out you have had tonsillitis about 5 times in the last year and that it is causing you an awful lot of aggravation. Tell them that you can't work properly or something and before you know it you will be on the waiting list. I had mine out when I was about 19 or 20 and it was the best thing as it really did make a difference not having to go through the hell of tonsillitis every now and then.

Cheers

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....... and Mark too... this is from someone nearer to your peer group whos been there and i read a paper on it too...

In your adult years, which you sort of are now, (it sucks i know) your tonsils are your first line of defense...

when your a bit run down and exposed to lots of germs, socializing and having too much fun, your tonsils kick in, and combats the baddies and also tell your body to slow down and take it easy .... all the same you still need the antibiotics..

also you will find that they wont take them out as with out them you are open to get the very nasty glandular fever... and everyone on the board will agree tonsillitis is far far far better to have than glandular fever...

I shall continue… most uni student get tonsillitis throughout there first few years repetitively, it actually strengthens your system in the end, Promise..

FACT: you cant get tonsillitis from kissing.. it’s a myth

So make the most of the man flu stu, some women really dig the sick puppy thing..

sending you a big hug (at arms lengths away)
