    No, it's not a spelling error. BICH stands for Benign IntraCranial Hypertension. It's a condition that I suffer from where the pressure of the Cerebro-Spinal fluid builds up and causes pressure on my brain.

    A nurse walked along the corridor past the reception desk and said loudly to the girls there, "I should wear one of those speedometer things that measures how many footsteps you take in a day!" 

    I had a quick peek to see if anyone else noticed what she had said, but, all sat stoney faced, so either…

    Today I was at the Dental hospital with my mum.

    She has been complaining of a having a really sore mouth for a while now. She phoned the doctor's surgery who advised her to let the pharmacist have a look which she did. The pharmacist prescribed bonjela for ulcers, but she has a sore on her cheek which she thought perhaps her dentures was causing.

    Eventually she went to her dentist who told her she wasn't happy with…
