My Mom has come to
visit during Jess’ school holidays to teach Jess Afrikaans see this blog.
I started getting sick
on Monday. My dear husband infected me,
he had the flu last week. I also had
extreme naseau on the first day. After
spending more time in the ladies spewing than the most avid bulimic I decided I
needed something.
I am terrible with names so asked my Mom and
Michael:
"Has anybody got Voltaraine for me because I said I can not bear throwing up
anymore?"
My Mom and Michael:
"How is that going to help? Voltaraine
relaxes muscles and is taken for muscle pain."
Me:
"Oh I mean Valoid."
Valoid and Voltaraine very similiar right they both start with a "V".
My Mom who is a
walking pharmacy disappeared to her bedroom and came back with two
tablets. She offered them to me and
said:
“One of them is for nausea
dear I don’t remember which one so you better take both.”
Sirens went off in my
head. I had a flashback to my brother telling me something years ago.
My brother:
“Never, ever, ever,
take any tablets from Mom if you don’t know what they are. She once gave me something for pain. Turns out it was something else I was passed
out for 3 days.”
Good sexy Angel on my
right shoulder is saying:
“Don’t take them it could be dangerous. You could grow a third ear.”
Bad sexy Devil on my
left shoulder is saying:
“Take them, take them, if you pass out for 3 days you
will totally miss this horrible flu.”
Good sexy Angel
won. You see I have never had a liking for bad boys. I declined the tablets and made
myself tea with lots of ginger in. The
ginger worked and I did not grow any body parts although I would have gladly
slept for 3 days.
