extreme bonjela testing

in order to keep myself amused this morning i have decided to undertake some extreme bonjela testing. this has come about for two reasons.
firstly, as previously mentioned a crop of ulcers and a fungal infection have taken up residence in my mouth over the last week. yesterday i was given a bottle of liquid antibiotic and a tube of bonjela, these, along with an illegally smuggled steroid mouthwash, have begun to make some impact on my unwelcome visitors.
secondly, when i bought the paper yesterday i made a rash impulse buy of a packet of walkers sensations sweet thai chilli crisps (a fave of mine). it is hard to believe but it is obviously possible to impulse buy in hospital. anyway once back in sideroom 2 i realised that that might not have been the wisest way to spend 99p. crisps, chilli flavouring, mouth ulcers... so the packet remains unopened.
thirdly, yesterday was chocolate day, ie some of my visitors had bought me some chocolate. matthew and i had some in the evening whilst playing cards and i realised that mouth ulcers don't like extreme sweet either.

so in a minute i will be liberal with the bonjela and once it has had time to work, try eating either the crisps or the chocolate. i will off course update you with the results later.

on a more positive note i understand there is now a bed shortage and the 14yr old can see no reason to keep me here, we just need a more mature doctor to sign the form. the only possible fly in the ointment is that i will need some antibiotics to go home with, if it is only for a couple of days there is enough on the ward. if i need them for longer they will have to be ordered from pharmacy... and because of the bank holidays this weekend i will need to get them from here.
