Shit. So sorry to read this. It’s the nagging worry that often gets to you when dealing with health issues. Life is often a bastard. Made less so for me with your wonderful posts. Thank you

Thank you so much Marilyn, that’s the essence of my problem, I think, not just this time around but ever since the heart attack. Might sound surprising that it had eluded me but it really had - or at least had eluded me in quite such clear expression. Very grateful for this xx

Omg. What an ordeal. And a cold on top. May your flow be Merlot.

Oh that alarming frightful sense of being betrayed by one's own body, deeper understanding of mortality, missing more the ignorant indestructibility of earlier years.

Appreciating the devilish extra details David. Do take it easy and please keep turning water into wine - seems like you have around three barrels of sauvignon blanc yet to fill.

Having endured my own (kidney stone-related) urological issues, I can - in all senses technicolour and otherwise - empathise 🦈

Wow! Somehow that left me with "Irrigation! Irrigation! Irrigation! Irrigation! Irrigation!" sung by a massed choir to a tune by Handel rattling around in my head!

"And he shall rain ..."
