Second bum shot - In the same year

Seems that when I get sick or something goes wrong with my body it really goes wrong

Take the time in my second year at uni, got really sick so was booked into hospital, was released two days later because I was “healed” not that they told me what was wrong, two days after that I was paralytic, I mean Mr O had to carry me to the toilet and I needed my mothers help to bath – highlight of my life being 20 years old and my mother bathing me and my love interest helping me pee, the joy! Anyway so was booked back into hospital, after the first two days of them drawing blood every hour on the hour and still having no idea what was wrong I was quarantined, a week later I was released with a sick note that read like a medical journal (as they didn’t actually know what was wrong with me it must therefore have been every conceivable disease known to man)

So anyway back to my point, on Friday I had an allergic reaction to something, I think it may have been treated straw (don’t ask, and no the “why where you rolling in the hay” comment is sooo not funny), went to the doctor and got, my second for the year, shot in the bum. Friday night I am then not able to sleep but not from the reaction but from serious tooth ache, Saturday the same thing and Sunday the same thing (I know dentists have emergency numbers and they will help on a weekend, but I can not afford that fee) so this morning I go to the dentist and it can’t just be my wisdom teeth or a cavity no it has to something complicated and that the dentist is not really sure what is causing what. Ok so I have an infection in the root of the tooth next to my wisdom tooth that is attempting to come out, and the gum around my wisdom is now also infected apparently and the dentist is not sure if the wisdom is affecting the tooth or visa versa, and it is too inflamed to do anything about at the moment, so I’m on a heavy dose of antibiotics and some really nice pain killers. On Wednesday if the pain is not gone I need to go have a root canal and then if that doesn’t work then I’ll have to have the wisdom removed… YAY how exciting, I really hate the “if this then this but actually maybe” nonsense they tell you when they don’t know what is going on and my body annoys me that it can’t just break down like normal bodies!!!

Anyway will let you know if I still have teeth after Easter…

SANRAL - Is there an actual plan????

WOW the N1 was terrible this morning!!!!

SANRAL is driving me crazy, I’m all for the improvement of our highways and all those wonderful things but what in the hell would posses them to squeeze us all from four lanes into three lanes (I might add by shifting the lanes without proper barriers – so actually there where 5 lanes, 6 if you include the self made taxi dirt lane) then into 2 lanes and then instead of just leaving it 2 we went back into 3 lanes only for us to be moved back into 2 lanes…. Does the planning team at SANRAL have no idea how traffic works or the fact that just leaving it 2 lanes would have created less havoc????

So now as annoying as that was I saw no one working on this particular stretch of highway, nor have I seen any one there in months, yet they will leave the lanes closed, or better still open them before they are ready, then have to close them and re tar them and then wait for it open them again only to recluses them…. What the hell are they doing??? Oh and that ad about how they making the highway better for the future bla bla bla is now starting to piss me off because when in the future are they going to be done???

Haha ok anyway now that I’m finished moaning, hope you all enjoy this short week 
