Sorry folks. After yesterday's post I realised I hadn't referred to the original symptom of my ailment which was constipation. When my son W. heard sbout this he wanted to bring me the guaranteed solution in the form of a kebab from a place he knows of in Morecambe.
The medics were baffled - nothing showed up on an x-ray, but then appendicitis did on a ct. scan, much to everybody's surprise. And, dare I say, the main thrust of the original problem is now solved,and I am back at home, but virtually immobile, just enough to keep myself fed: I am heeding seriously all the advice to take things easy.
that's quick
ReplyDeleteit used to take weeks
looking forward to the day when your blog can resume its proper 'taxonome' !
That is scary - keep clear of kebabs from some place in Morecambe especially if your son is involved in their purchase. Glad you have survived.
ReplyDeleteLiked the (un-selfconscious?) juxtapositioning of "thrust" with the mention of your symptom. A good one for today but alas you missed a trick and shot your bolt too early.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you have been ill Conrad, but glad to know that you are at home and recovering. I hope that your convalescence is speedy and straightforward.
