Mollieitus

Thank you for all your well wishes and I'm feeling a lot better although apparently I sound like a pneumatic drill when I'm asleep but I've only woken myself up a few times with the noise (Joules on the other hand has been having trouble sleeping)!

Last Friday when I felt cold, shivering and had a headache which wouldn't shift I spent the morning in A&E. Of course with Mollie. On Wednesday Mollie came home from school complaining that her toe was sore but she hadn't knocked or hurt it in any way. I had a look and it seemed fine, no swelling, no broken skin. An hour later Mollie couldn't walk, her toe was red and swollen and she couldn't walk on it. By Friday it was very sore and she had resorted to using her crutches (luckily the hospital had refused to take them back because it costs too much to sterilize them). An x-ray confirmed no fracture so the doctors decided to take blood to check for arthritis which if I say worried me slightly that would be a huge understatement, worse still, it would take a week to get the results. It was a long weekend in which I felt rotten and worried far too much. On Monday I managed to get hold of my GP who chased up the results and was able to tell us that Mollie doesn't have arthritis or any form of infection and to continue to rest the toe. We were very relieved to hear this and Mollie had named her condition Mollieitus. Today there is some improvement, Mollie is still on crutches but the swelling has receded and it is not as sore.

After that stress it was great to receive this joke from John.

Poor Mollie. (If it doesn't clear up soon - I'd take her back and make sure they recheck for a bacterial infection).

and the funniest condom? KFC

lol @ the puns...

That toe - what a mystery. I was thinking gout, but then I just looked it up and found that gout is a form of arthritis - so I guess that wasn't it.

I hope everyone is feeling better soon.

I like the Ikea saying...

Tell mollie I think I have Mollieitus too - not on my toe, but in my head. I'll wish her (and you) better if she wishes me ;)

I don't like the sound of that toe business at all.

frannie said...

Unknown said...

Boy somebody had a lot of time on the hands - oops - to come up - double oops - with all of those!

Glad you're feeling better.

Oh poor Mollie - that's awful! Hope the cleaning is going alright and you have a lovely visit from your Mum!

Alison said...

Oh..poor Molly...is it better now?? that is awfully strange!

That is a weird situation with the toe. Mystery illnesses are not great. At least they ruled out infection and things that could cause immediate long term distress. If it continues, they will find it.

Mollieitis that is cute. Hope your both feeling better.
