Quite true Tom.

I had to have a fasting blood test this morning so nothing to eat or drink since 7 last night until the test - which was walk in at hospital 2 hour wait at 7am, can you believe that, for a blood test. Anyway I was telling the kids about when I first feel ill and was in hospital I could have nothing by mouth for a long time (felt like years but was about 6 weeks). The pain I was in meant I couldn’t care less about eating and it didn’t bother me one iota, however not being able to quench my thirst with a sip of water was torture and psychologically really affected me. I would be lying in bed just thinking about having a drink every second of the day and as I’m sure most of you are aware there Is not much to do in hospital so time really does drag. I remember seeing a bottle of Robinson’s Lemon Squash on the patients table who was next to me, I swear to god I could taste it in my mouth. Anyway you could imagine my joy when I was finally allowed to wet my lips with a sponge stick. I promis d myself that forever more I would not take a glass of water for granted. So I was telling the kids this story as this morning it was the one thing on my mind as I was so thirsty and knew it was a good few hours before the test. I stuck with it, queued up for nearly 45mins just to register, finally got to the window, explained to the lady that it was a fasting blood test but I was feeling quite unwell And also diabetic and could I have a drink of water, “yes love, drink as much as you want” FML.

What a reality check that is Ommy.

In many parts of the world, there is no such thing as good, clean water, either.

Certainly makes us think.

Hope you are soon on the mend mate.

PS - Will reply to your PM soonest.

Great description of that

The sponge sticks are like heaven after weeks without a drink or food but especially liquid. They start to lose appeal when they dry up on you mind Smiley Still remember the first ice pop thing I was allowed tasted like the best michelin meal anywhere as did the first pureed dinner (they very soon lose appeal) the first hospital (proper) dinner was on another level again.

hope things pick up soon

I know we have abit in common with illness John and you have hit that right on the head. If only I was able to treat food the same as my appreciation for water I’d be as thin as a rake.
