Butchers Hook - Crook - Sick - (VERY sick).
Just emerged from 6 days on the Battle of Amoxycillion. Actually this is the second battle as about 4 years ago I was laid low by the first round of Sepsis.
Now the second Sepsis round has been fought and won, but I still feel like death. I really did think that this was it, and you would all have to do without me. Still feel very fragile but hopefully that will fade in the next few days.

Sent me home after the Sepsis event, spent a night at home and followed in the AM with about 8 fainting spells. Pressed my emergency button and was soon in the Ambo and back in hospital. All of a sudden was rushed into the Resusitation Unit and surrounded by 3 Drs and 4 nurses, and one of the Drs asking me if I wished to be resusitated.
About 10 minutes or so of 190+ beats per minute and they eventually got that down to below 100.
Still here, but not sure for how long.

OK. If I may request, perhaps you can arrange for your family to advise Don or me if you were to go - Jerry Rosie's partner emailed me when he left, which is how I knew.

PS,
For those interested in the USA, this whole drama has played out at an enormous cost of ZERO dollars and ZERO cents.
Gorgeous nurses included FREE!

There's no such thing as a free lunch, and there's definitely no such thing as free gorgeous nurses - that's paid by the taxpayers.

Yes, very true, but ours is paid for by a super levy on top of all taxpayers income, currently about 2%.
Even that does not cover the entire Health Budget, but pollies do not like talking about that.
The standard/quality of service is as good any in the world, and we are a couple of years ahead of the USA in longevity.
