I ended up in A&E in Torquay hospital after coughing whilst on holiday in Paignton years ago. I was in so much pain I just couldn't move. GP who attended our apartment within the hour got me sent me straight there . After x-rays etc turned out to be several torn muscles in my chest. I remember posting on the forum whilst waiting in the carpark in agony for hubby to collect the prescribed painkilling meds from the hospital pharmacy after.I have just achieved a major milestone.
I have coughed whilst standing up - for the first time since Sunday night.
The violence of the coughing and sneezing after I was boosted pulled a muscle (or even cracked a rib) and, since then, any activity of that sort has required being bent double, ideally with my left knee pulled hard against my shoulder, to avoid the sensation of being repeatedly bayonetted.
For this reason, amongst others, I have not left the premises, as coughs and sneezes, of which there have been many, resulted in me looking like I'm having a heart attack.
It's not quite 'comfortable' now, but it's a very significant improvement.
After days of threatening it, one ear has just blocked with wax, but I may be able to deal with that - certainly without provoking public alarm, anyway.
There's been a homeless female sleeping outside my work doors when I've opened up at 7am several times this week, I originally felt very sorry for her, so sad to see an older lady with all her belongings in a huge suitcase sleeping outside on the floor, but after the abuse that myself, shoppers and other staff members received on waking her up, I soon changed my mind.Had a homeless person ring our doorbell last night, which was a first. She was asking if we could do anything to help as she said she was out on the streets without a sleeping bag or anything. I knew I had a sleeping bag upstairs from when I used to go to Download Festival every year so I gave her that, though I felt guilty because I know it's not particularly warm. Have thought about her a lot anyway, regardless of how she ended up there it's awful to see people forced into desperation that way.
It's literally spent straight away back in the booze Isle. Sad thing is that she's an older lady, (50+), & at times, when not drunk seems a very nice person.Often sort out hot food or drink, never hand over cash.
I appreciate that, but a drunken haze, and a violent aggressive attitude, screaming obscenitys at innocent staff and customers is a completely differently thing.If my life consisted of wandering the cold hostile streets i would welcome the few hours of peace that a drunken haze would grant me, anything is better than the bleakness of being regarded as nothing more than a piece of street trash
Very true, sadlyI appreciate that, but a drunken haze, and a violent aggressive attitude, screaming obscenitys at innocent staff and customers is a completely differently thing.

What you wear, how you look is of absolutely no relevance. If you got this twat's number you should absolutely report him. In effect what he did was attempted murder, might even have been murder if you hadn't reacted as you did.Some prick nearly ran me down this morning.
I was crossing over down Kingsway, crossed the one road and got to the second when I saw a car in the distance... bit close but I had time to walk across so I did. I'm halfway there when suddenly the car is zooming towards me much sooner than anticipated and I realised the twat has accelerated.
I jumped back on my heels and I'm not exaggerating when I say I literally could not have been closer to the car when it sped past me, an inch forward and he'd have hit me at speeds that would have caused serious injury. And of course, I got treated to a massive horn blare as he sped off into the distance, too.
I used to get shit like this happening all the time when I used to have more of an overtly "alternative" appearance (dreadlocks etc), meaning I usually associate it with something to do with that, the only thing I can think of in this case - beyond him simply being a twat, of course - was that I was wearing a mask.

Scum like that have no business in our society, never mind behind the wheel of a dangerous weapon.
