Pluracie

[Peter Parka]

So the missus has been really bad the last few days. She went to the doctor this morning and she's got pluracie. She's been having trouble breathing with it. The doctor has put her on a strong course of anti biotics. I'm hoping she gets better soon as she's supposed to be off to Australia in a couple of weeks. Has anyone here had it before? How did it affect you and how long did it take to get better?

 

[AUDRAA]

never had it, but its fluid on the lungs she need to keep up and moving

I've never heard of it before, Pete.

:dunno

She better find out if she's contagious or not .. do airlines have rules concerning such things when hopping countries?

Yeah, apparently the doctor said that if she hadn't seen him today, I'd have been calling an emergency ambulance for her by tomorrow. :eek

Anyway, she's taking the anti biotics and having plenty of rest and she already seems to be improving, she was well enough to eat a dinner of fresh sausages and goose eggs tonight!

 

[Stella]

Is that a metaphor or do you really eat that?

oh - and glad she's getting better...

 

[Peter Parka]

Nah, we really ate that, my sister got back from her honeymoon in Norfolk the other day and brought them back for us.

Goose eggs are lovely! Creamy like ducks eggs but a lot bigger. :nod:

Pleurisy is very painful...so I feel for the missus, Peter. If she's got a couple of weeks before she leaves, she should be okay as long as she continues to follow Doctor's orders.
