It's taken me a while to read your last posts - have had the tab open since you wrote them but am severely limiting my use of the internet in a bid to gain more energy.
However, each time I read a new post it draws me closer to you my lovely dear friend and I was so happy to see that you had some of those gorgeous orange poppies which 'litter' my garden. They are by far my most favourite blooms and make me smile each time I see them. From now on, when they bloom again, I will also think of you and that will bring me more joy!
Keep up the good work. It is always so refreshing reading your blog although a sad reminder of your health also. By the way, wish I had thought of lying down before I was 'sacked' in my Library. Do you reckon that's what I did wrong lol! xx

And to you, my dear Footy Cat, which is how I always think of you. I was drooling over your glorious photos of mushroom fondue the other day. I still hope you will move back here and next door to me. I'd be a very friendly (and slightly peckish) neighbour.

Hi Gippy Gardener, yes, got to love them! Hope your garden is OK in the heat.

2012-01-12T18:05:03.426+10:00

You should see a psych because you carry info about your allergies?! I thought that would make you a dream patient (I can never remember my allergies), not someone requiring a psych. I think organised is the new tremendous and that doctor can stick it in his ear. I hope the festive season was good to you, too. Thanks for the link to the lovely photo.

Hi Signs, I am a bit behind in my blog reading, but I hope you're doing OK and that 2012 will treat you well :)

A salon hostess! I could get behind that! I hope while I'm reclining on the chaise longue I also get to wear a magnificent frock. I'll start a mental list of the witty people I'd love to vie for my attention...

A lie down gardener, now you are talking - and not just to the blades of grass. Yes I rather feel your new doctor is best placed to be your old doctor. CBT indeed. Hmph. x

You are too kind, Nasim. x

2012-01-12T17:58:00.272+10:00

Hi Marzi, sometimes I don't know why we bother either, it's expensive and demoralising, I guess it's the tiny hope it may help. Fingers and toes crossed!

2012-01-12T17:56:37.991+10:00

Hi cinderkeys, I don't think 'cyberchondria' is mine, but agree it is funny! And further agree a doctor who looks stuff up online is infinitely better than one who won't. So long as the pesky patients don't take it up as well.

I had a lovely Christmas, thanks Amanda! Have been keeping up with your blog and am most interested to hear more about your wall bed thingie in your new office too.

iMIMS, how cute! Well that's very interesting - great that it's available on both platforms, I imagine it's invaluable.

2012-01-12T17:52:02.170+10:00

You are too sweet, Ms OK. C2 seems to be a good egg. Here's hoping! And I had no idea supine staff were to be all the rage. Will they keep the books on the floor or the staff on elevated platforms? Intriguing. xx

Happy New Year, Rhi!

Hello Greenwords, got to love those Doctors who say one thing than do another!

Great post, Greenwords. When I was in hospital (being diagnosed with diabetes) at the beginning of the year, I saw eleven different doctors in six days, ranging from the one who was helpful and reasonably knowledgeable about ME to the one who thought that I should see a psychiatrist, not because I have a lot of allergies - oh no - but because I am organised enough to carry about with me some information about my allergies. Apparently organised is the new psychotic. Or something.

I hope you have a happy Christmas and that it's not too exhausting a time for you.

Good to read you, Greenwords :)

2011-12-05T00:45:59.551+10:00

C2 is a bit awesome!

What you need to do is become a salon hostess. Then you can recline on a chaise longue while all the wittiest people of the generation vie for your attention.

2011-12-04T13:13:26.444+10:00

I'd love to have a job as a lie down librarian, or better still a lie down gardener! Very funny post. At least ur cardiologists are actually using the Internet, my new dr offered me CBT yesterday. Sigh! New dr is now my old dr.
Loving the animated enthusiasm of C2, just brilliant! X

Love this post, just love it. x

2011-12-03T22:36:24.956+10:00

You just made me laugh out loud. I don't know why we bother drag our butts to doctors who do this to us. Although at least C2 sounds more promising.

Fingers crossed!

2011-12-03T17:59:59.869+10:00

"Cyberchondria"?

Is that yours? That's funny. :)

I suppose a doctor who looks stuff up on the Internet is better than a doctor who won't even do that. (But don't try this at home, kids!)

2011-12-03T12:54:58.300+10:00

Oh dear! your post is great, but what a sad indictment on the medical profession. I'm very glad that you have managed to keep smiling throughout and that you have *something* on the horizon to try. Wishing you very good luck with it, and while you are waiting have a Happy Christmas.

2011-12-03T12:01:02.127+10:00

MIMS is available on both iOS & Android (Apple put an "i" in front of it, "iMIMS" of course) so he probably was reading from it

Another fabulous post greenwords!! Such a sharp profile painted of each medico.

But haven't you heard on the internet? Supine staff are going to be all the rage in the libraries of the future.

I like the sound of C2!
