Before logging on here, I was down at the doctor's surgery getting yet ANOTHER injection. My arm is killing me. And it isn't even the last one! Why couldn't they just give us ONE injection instead of three?! mad.gif

Yeah it is - and I totally agree! They do get more painful! I already had a bunch of side effects with my first one (shivers, bruising, a lump in my arm, dizziness), so I'm a bit apprehensive of what this one will bring as the day wears on unsure.gif

Can't lift my arm beyong a thirty degree angle at the moment laugh.gif But yeah, just one more to go.

Anyone remember the lyrics that Neil Innes sang in his Holsten adverts in the '80s? Something like:

No wonder in the desert Mustapha's the name to pick,
Mustapha pint, mustapha pint, mustapha pint and quick,
..................................... wadi ya want?
That ca-a-a-alls for a Holsten!
