I phoned the doctor up last week. He said "what's the problem". I said, "I've had 17 colds in the last 8 months".

He says, "You can't have 17 colds in 8 months. What do you mean by colds ?"

I say, "How do you mean, what do I mean ?". "Colds"

"What type of colds ?", he says.

So I try to think of the typical symptoms. A bit of cattargh, sometimes feel a bit feverish but it passes. And lately I've started to get this feeling at the bottom of my lungs, kind of like a stitch. And I get a cold on my chest.

We discuss what I mean by a cold on my chest, I say to the guy, "have you ever had a cold ?". He says it's not about him it's about me.

So I say I don't know, I guess my chest feels kind of heavy. Like I've got a cold.

"Do you smoke ?", he asks. I tell him I do smoke.

He says, "OK, listen come in for some blood tests. We'll test your kidneys, your liver, check everything's looking normal", "and get a chest x-ray done", "call reception and arrange to pick up a form to take along". "I'll give you a call in a week or so when we've got the results."

So today I go along for the chest x-ray. I'm thinking this is a good day to do it cos my lungs are feeling like shit. The lady's all chirpy and friendly as she does the xray. She says I'm too tall to fit on the frame, so she takes some extra shots so there's pictures from the top to the bottom.

She says "that's it, we're all done.". Tells me the xrays will go to the hospital and my doctor will have them back in 5 days.

I can't stop thinking though that when I walked out she looked like she had tears in her eyes.

Probably nothing.

If I meet you in Heaven ,, I will tell you ,,,,I told you so.
