the Monday Musings column from that consultant bloke

Sorry that I have not posted for a few weeks, but I have been in hospital. Some eleven years on from one infection trying to finish me off, another made an attempt, and, like the first one, came close to getting me.

This time I am going to take a while to fully recover. The previous one took nearly six months to get over. This one may take a year, but at least I am still here.

I am in not too bad a condition for 70, but this sort of thing just goes to show how thin the line is. A random event within my body nearly brought an end to everything, but it could have been an accident of some sort. No matter how healthy you are, the Grim Reaper can swipe you away at any moment.

Normal service should be resumed from today onwards. I’ll cover this event in a bit more detail in the next Life Log.
