    Get well soon, and look after yourself!

    It turned out I only had blood pressure that could inflate a tyre. Lucky escape. If only I were only 12 stone that would be nice.
    aye, i've suddenly goat a sore knee

    This one is apparently "non-STEMI" which is, I believe, a good thing - not good in itself, but better than one that is STEMI like the last one.

    And given that last time they had me straight in and sorted out within thirty minutes of arriving at the hospital, whereas this time they've left me all day (and now until tomorrow at the earliest), I'm assuming it definitely isn't as bad
