I’m back !

But I still have my gall bladder, unfortunately. I won’t bore you with all the details but as I was prepped for surgery the doctor came in and said, “sorry, there’s a junior doctor’s strike and we’re not doing any elective surgery at all. You’ll have to go home and go on the waiting list there.” It’s socialized medicine and the most needy come first. I don’t have a problem with that at all. I just hate pissing away a week’s time doing absolutely nothing. They knew the strike was coming, they could have sent me home last week.

So here I am. Eating nothing but grass and twigs to keep the gallstones from clogging the pipes.

Drat.
