A sticky predicament

Still not great this morning and peak flow at the levels where I need to call the asthma nurse which I duly did.  She wasn't in so I had a GP telephone call booked for this afternoon.  He did want to listen to my chest but as I couldn't get there he said it was best to prescribe some antibiotics and steroids but if I felt my breathing was getting worse I must call 999, and if I needed to I could call him tomorrow.

I heard some increasingly urgent conversations in the lounge this afternoon.

Elf help me!

I can't Safety, you wrapped me in tape.

Not on purpose Elf, I was only trying to help Mrs T.  She's been trying to finish up the trims on the stairs but as she's not well I thought we could help, but that tape is really sticky and I couldn't get it off me.

Mrs T, Mrs T!!  Help!!

No wonder Mum had so much trouble with these two!  They were duly untangled and returned to the shelf.
