Happy 21st (again) Birthday Flo

[Suzi]

Sounds like a great way of spending your birthday!

[Flo]

Crikey! It's over a month since I've written any cods wallop on my thread! I've discovered a new way to lose weight! It's called The Bot Fly diet! I've been watching Dr. Jeff Rocky Mountain Vet while folding washing. A poor dog had a lump under it's tummy and it's owner thought it could be a tumour! The vet had a look at said lump and squeezed it and a HUUUUGE Bot Fly larva dropped out on the table and heaved it's way across it. EWWWW!! I feel physically sick! Don't know if I can face a chicken salad sandwich for lunch after all. Please tell me we don't have these flies in the UK! ....my grandson Dan has a bad case of tonsillitis but the Dr's don't seem to prescribe anything for it these days. I've nearly finished a woolly hat for little Jen...it's only taken me 3 months! I shall surf the site and see how everyone is getting along.xxx

Oooooooooo yuck!

No, I know from experience they don’t prescribe antibiotics (because it’s a virus). Katie suffered a lot when she was younger and, unfortunately, we never found anything that helped other than paracetamol and sleep

[Flo]

Yes, it's paracetamol and sleep with Dan too, plus plenty of fluids, ice cream etc. Mine were taken out when I was about 6, but in those days it was common practice to have them removed at an early age. Like Katie, Zoe came down with it umpteen times when she was younger...not nice is it?

[Jaquaia]

I had mine out when I was 4 or 5 as they were constantly infected. Then, just to be awkward, I got an infection in the surgery site!

[Paula]

I was 18 when I had them out - actually it was 2 days before my birthday. They gave me codeine for the pain, and we then discovered I react badly to codeine. Wasn’t a great 18th, throwing up when you’ve got surgery wounds…
Katie does seem to have grown out of it thankfully

[Strugglingmum]

Poor wee man. I was bothered terribly with my tonsils but I did eventually grow out of it. Although I did catch it again as an adult from my eldest who was only a toddler at the time!!
