Facile credo

My birthday on the fifteenth went rather nicely despite my being in UTTER AGONY!

I have been suffering, dear friends, from Sinusitis. And I mean suffering! It's pretty much all gone now, thanks to the wonders of Amoxycillin. I am now going to share a small extract from the Patient Information Leaflet pertaining to said drug:

'As with other medicines, Amoxicillin can sometimes cause rare and serious reactions. See your doctor straight away if you:
+ Ger severe diarrhoea with bleeding
+Notice your urine becoming darker or *faeces (otherwise known as poo)* becoming paler.
+Notice your skin or the whites of your eyes turning yellow.'

*Thanks, I was wondering what that was. If you don't find this funny, then you can leave now because we're clearly not suited to be friends. And what's wrong with the word excrement? Really.

I am very aware of outside sources coming in at the moment. The only thing I shall say on the matter is this: If they must be sent for your own indulgence then so be it, for they hinder me none.

Well, now we've got all the bits and pieces out of the way! -
I have been predicted good results for my AS Levels but I won't put them here as I worry about jinxing myself and whatnot!

Pete is in Saudi again, and Carrie and I have been giggling aplenty. I feel so close to Ben now, even more than before. So much of his spirit mirrors my own. He had another appointment about his Hemihypertrophy the other day and I went along. Being in Birmingham children's hospital made me realise how much I miss the care industry. Hurry up, CRB! Anyway, there are no changes, all is well. Still no talk of surgery until he is older which, of course, in a way is good, but in a way is bad. He is beginning to become aware of his difference and Carrie worries (and rightly so) that people will begin to assume he has something wrong with him (mentally) and therefore treat him differently because of the way he looks. Which is, of course, the last thing everybody wants. He's a sharp, clever little boy and displaying great musical talent already I've noticed!

Ewan is his gorgeous, well-behaved self as usual, and very excited about Christmas! I'm going to see him play Joseph in his Chrismas play mid-December. Bless 'is cottons.

I have rabbited on for long enough really, haven't I? My writing has become terrible bland and factual of late but that's because I'm deep in a sea of intellectual activity at the moment, not having much time to concentrate on anything artistic inside myself, O my brothers! (Joanna may or may not have just finished reading A Clockwork Orange - which, might I add, is a stunning book and I plan to review it properly when time allows!)


Tschüss! (See, I'm getting there with the German!)
