Manky Monkey Motors

Sickness & diarhea bug. It ain't nice.
Midnight, Saturday night, Taz & I were down at the stables -one of the horses has a leg in plaster & had lain down next to the stable wall & couldn't get up again. I felt fine. Back home & 2 hours later, I feel like I'm dying. Haven't felt so ill for years. It's now Tuesday night & I haven't been to work for a couple of days, haven't even been out of the house. I feel completely drained -literally. Taz has been nipping home to check on me but says it's been too graphic even for her, & she works with animals all day!
Not looking for sympathy, but if I don't contribute much in the next few days, that's why.  :P

doing the rounds, a few up here in wakey down with similar thing.
         going to stick to my internet virus, just as annoying but can still go to the pub......

 ;D I'm a Postie & these next few weeks are the busiest of the year for us. Feel kinda guilty for letting them down, but other guys would take a month off without caring at all.   

one word that will help ======================IMODIUM,  ;)








i suffer alot with the trotts due to IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and it helps me

Get Well soon Andy can't leave it all up to Santa

imodium or lopromide is the one andy for the runs and domperidone for the sickness im bad with both and use them alot and work wonders 

Over the worst of it now, (I hope), but left me feeling ridiculously weak & feeble. Shuffling around the house like an old man -oh hang on, I am an old man.  :(
I've always had outdoor jobs & been a Postman for more than a quarter of a century, so should be hardened to it by now. Trouble is, we're handling all sorts of stuff, sent through the mail, from live insects to medical samples to God knows what & handling letterboxes & doorbells at all kinds of houses -I'm suprised we don't pick up more bugs than we do really.

Keep up the fluids, bananas are good to replace lost potassium, and use salt in moderation on your food.  There is a over the counter sachet called diarolyte, puts back the lost electrolytes from the, eghem, issues.

D&V can be really disabling, once its over the trick is to help your body get back to balance :)

Take care Andy

A hot tot on an evening keeps every think away...... boosts the immune system   ;) i swear by it

I with spanners, i got IBS and it's not funny,
i use IMODIUM, and it works
get well soon.

So you've literally been Manky eh!

Here's for a speedy recovery Andy,the diarolyte stuff is pretty damn good when there's a lot of fluid loss.  ;)

Thanks guys. Not quite in the same league of illness as some of you lot suffer I know, but there's nothing more miserable than being ill is there.
More or less over it now, but my day off tomorrow, so won't be back at work till Friday.
Being very careful what I eat & drink for a while. Itching to get back to the workshop & make some progress on my truck cos I've lost yet another week now.

glad your feeling a bit better andy, its doing the rounds up here!!!! lol

Remember not to koff, sneeze or laugh ;)

Get well soon bud :)

Thats a s**tty excuse not to go to work Andy! ;D Get well soon !

swear filter won't allow picture!!!

Enough of the graphicness already!

it was'nt lol

Just a point as Immodium was mentioned - I never go anywhere without it as I too have IBS but it's NOT a good thing to take if you have an infection in your gut as you want to get it all flushed out which is what your body is doing.
