Just bed for a couple of hours, I think, Chris. xx

Poor you - you need warmth when you are feeling iffy. Pain always makes you so tired. Hot bottle/electric blanket? <3

I feel fine in myself - just in pain - and due to that, tired.
Also a bit chilly :-(

Maggie hope you feel better soon <3

Hope you feel better soon, Maggie :-)

Had a tongue biopsy Monday afternoon.
Line manager asked if I'd be back at work afterwards!!!!
Biopsy was okay - but the pain an hour later was quite bad.

Tuesday the man was coming to service my boiler, so I'd taken annual leave. He's been due to come the previous week, but 2 members of the team were on leave, so I'd changed it. I couldn't have gone to work anyway, as I found it difficult to swallow - not too keen on wasting a day's leave being ill :-|

Boiler man arrived at 9 (due at 10:30) and had finished by 9:30. I went back to bed. When I got up, felt a bit chilly - heating wouldn't come on.
Phoned the firm, he came back out, thermostat had given up the ghost.

He 'fixed' it so as the water heated up, so the radiators would work, and would be out the next day to replace the thermostat.

Wednesday, didn't sleep too well, boiler making noises and house very hot. Had to get up and phone work before 9am.
My throat was agony, and I had earache. It was getting very difficult to swallow - even painkillers took half an hour of 'bracing' myself before I took them. I needed to see my GP - but when was the boiler man coming? Phoned the firm - Thursday or Friday. Arranged for the heating/hot water to be disconnected - I'd light the fire. Phoned Surgery.
No infection, but apparently a large biopsy was taken, from the very back under my tongue, that connected with my tonsils. Given liquid ibuprofen and told to try to eat solid food. I tried, and failed.

Today - wanted to stay in bed, but had to phone work again, and realised I hadn't put the bin out. No call from boiler company yet.
Fire ready to light, but as I haven't very much coal, will wait until later.
I was going to roast something to eat in the hope the oven would give me some heat, but not sure if I could eat it :-(

It's annoying, as the actual biopsy has given me very little problem, apart from not being able to move my tongue as much as I'd like, but my throat is agony :-(
