Day +2 Holding on ... to the toilet!

I have just had terrible deja vu of my younger days, being terribly ill after drinking whisky or scrumpy cider. I was just hanging on to the bowl swearing "never again" as my body tried to be ill but there was no reserve left, then I remembered I had not had the pleasure of getting comfortably drunk for the preceeding four or five hours, bummer!

Now stabilised by intravenous feed of anti nausea drugs (could be a commercial opportunity for drunk students they are missing) I am feeling a bit human again. Bernise came to visit and brought Fraiser on DVD which may be a perfect match for my mood, light and not to hard to concentrate on. Lee was in earlier and brought snacks which may be needed once I am stable as usually I am very hungry when the nausea passes.

My other end is still in full scale gut rot rebillion and my counts are dropping about 50% down since yesterday so we are still in the exciting part of this adventure for sure.

Never the less I had good chats with Lee and Bernise, watched the F1 GP qualifiying and the boat race (rowing) in between visits to my new favourite place in the bathroom. I am still self propelled and can still eat (though this is rather more of a two way process than I would prefer) So according to the doctors I am apparently doing "very well". Hopefully I can hold off the throat infections etc for a few more days as my friend in the other room says its like trying to swallow razor blades and morphine is all that can touch the pain. We both have only to get through the next 8 days or so, heads down and sleep as much as possible is an agreeable formulae.

I have a new Top Gear magazine to entertain me for the evening and with some Dr Who on TV that should get me to sleeping time without much trouble.

Cheers

Gerry

From 'Bunty' Hunter and 'Pinky' Pilkington-Mellie:

Wilco, Mullah, and jolly good show - already thinking about getting your undercarriage out- that's the spirit. The C.O. told us of your request, and we have despatched Nickers to the Canny Mann's to warm one up for you. Tally Ho and all the best from JB squadron.

Hi Gerry, I realise its not exactly important in the context of blood counts, but i thought you might like to know that my meeting with RPC went pretty good. i did as you suggested - can't carry on with hobby business blah blah need price increae and 4X volume blah blah. nothing finally agreeed, but we agreed to meet again in 2 weeks, after i had doubled deliveries. Fair enough. Thanks for advice.
