Thanks guys. Looks like it might be shingles - started out in a horrible rash around my midriff and side of torso late this afternoon, and the skin is hot and painful. Going to ask for an emergency appointment at the Doc's tomorrow, so should get some antibiotics or something to help.
You an only get these appointments if you phone at 08.00 or 14.00 on the same day - phoning the day before is not allowed - must be cheating or something. I know, cos I phoned today, after 14.00 hrs, but that obviously didn't count. So I told the receptionist that I'd phone at 08.00 tomorrow, IF I hadn't died by then, and IF I could get through, before they decided it was too late for an appointment!
Bl**dy petty, stupid ****ing arrangement! Answer the ****ing phone, and let me get well.
I am NOT missing the Duxford D-Day air show this coming weekend !!
