Holiday Interrupted
So, my holiday away was interupted. I wasn't feeling too good. I ended up seeing my local doctor who had a feel around and sent me to hospital, where I waiting in the Emergency waiting room for a long long time. It turns out that I had another case of diverticulitis - yes, I had this earlier in the year and my doctor had told me to do something about it, but I hadn't. Now, I ended up in hospital with an IV drip in my arm and NIL BY MOUTH, on the eve of the Federal Election! While I am in hospital, folks find out that I am not well and they used a service on the hospital's website to send email to patients. Funny thing about this is that they print the message and deliver them to your room. I got literally 100's of messages. To everyone who sent me a message - thank you! So, I respond well to the antibiotics and soon I am allowed to eat solids. Things progress and I am allowed to leave the hospital and rest - no email, no internet, no blogging - just rest. What is a geek to do?? Geoff Appleby had some suggestions!!! I have been at home for 4 weeks and have had a great break - I read many books, seen many movies, bought lots of stuff. All these things deserve their own posts!
