All being well I am off to the Hospital to get this infection sorted out once and for all, and if  nothing gets done then I will be seeking for some answers and then watch the sparkes fly it will be like forth of july only in october    

Good luck there, Shaunna. Hopefully it'll get sorted out for the best. 

Present company excluded I know how some doctors can be, I think your idea about fireworks is a good one. Good luck.

Frustration (and Chinese New Year) engender 'fireworks', but usually, if one can take just a small pause and take stock of what that's doing to one's body, the frustration-anger coupling can be broken. 

This allows a more fruitful path to obtaining one's goals.

It allows setting up a win-win rather than (even if it's so as it appears to be in Shaunna's case) an "I'm right/admit you're wrong/do what I want"... which engenders hostility in the other person, and not cooperation in achieving your goal.

You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar?

While a true statement, I was suggesting a general mechanism to deal with any frustration/anger.

Hmmmmm yer well it looks  like ill be heading to the Hospital on the 14th Oct at 10.30am Aussie time to have this wound cleand out and a removal of a stich or stitches  inside that I so say had a alergic reaction to the stiches, progress at long last  the thing is though I will be in overnight only because of no transport as family are unable to help this time due to other commitments and they wont allow me to travel on public transport straight after the surgery. My fire works fizzled? I say not if I haddnt rang them this morning nothing would have been done then the fire works would have been seen as far as the U.S.A and further .... I just want to take this oppertunity  to thank Doc for his advise and giving me his ear   and letting me  go on and on  about my woes, and a huge THANK YOU  to everyone on here  for your kind  words  and support it means so much to me  to know that this great community has wonderfull  people in it I just cant thank you all enough

Ahhh gee, what are friends for.

the nerves are a jumping hands are swetting and I am HUNGRY   i not allowed to have nothing to eat or drink  just sips of water and only water. ihave my op done today and hopefully it fixes the infection i will be so glad when its all over. i will be home tomorrow back in my own bed  i am staying the night at the hospital  because they wont pay for a taxi to come home but they are more than happy to have me there over night go figure

Good luck with the op. We'll be thinking of you.

If you remember some jokes, luv.... you might have them in stitches...so to speak .

If there's no infection I'll be quite happy, as I'm sure you'll be as well.

Put all your energy into getting well. A good attitude (though difficult at best when the Cap'n's around   ) will do wonders!

YAY im home been home now since around 2pm aussie time, all went well the infection has been cleand and best of all they took out the bad stiches and sewn up the outer cut rather than  leaving it too heal on its own.  AND you will never guess what???? I had a phone call from the Doctor that saw me in the ER when I was rushed up by the ambulance a few weeks ago, well anyway she rang me to appoligise to me for the way she treated me  she said she didnt mean to make me feel the way she did and she also reassured me that I wasnt a hindrance, funny how things change least of all did I expect a call from the Doctor  that treated me....mmmmmm  Hey Doc did you come to aussie to sort her out or something hehe I had a dream that you came over  and stayed with us while I was having all sorts of probs and lets say you sorted them out lol

Amazing what a well placed complaint can do! Glad they got it sorted out, Bonzette! 

thats for sure Doc,   I think she may have been warned if this thing happens again she will be fired , never in my life have i ever had a phone call from a doctor to appoligise to me  Hmmmm makes you wonder what  she is/was thinking mmmm maybe guilty

All's well that ends well, and that's for sure. Hope you're feeling and doing better, Bonzette!

 AAAhhhh so true Doc so true well everthing has healed nicely and no INFECTION yay     I get my stiches out next week and everything will be back to normal again

Good on ya Shaunna.  I'm so happy all went well.  Now you can once again concentrate on keeping that old bugger in line.

Very good new mrs starkers.

As Doc said alls well ends well. thank you everyone   everything is going great guns the wound has heald nicely and 2 of the stitches have fallen off due to getting caught up in  my shorts which only leaves 1 lonely stich, which i will just  get my GP to take out  rather than go to the Hospital to get it taken out now where did I put those scissors
