    Why hasn't Ian been liking or replying to my posts. Well I suffered a collapse on the 7th June
    Fortunately the NHS workers worked miracles and managed to save my life and are now planning to repartate me to a Glasgow hospital to continue rehab.

    I really can't say some of the ways NHS staff have worked to move me forward and backwards through the system a bit like the Snakes and Ladders. I'm thrown in with a chorht of wealthy foreigners

    I assume John Swinny gets my bill, thou worst comes to the worst I have traval insurance.

    It turns out there's a lot of middle class Americans for whom flying across to the NHS is cheaper than the same care under their HMO
    Sadly one of the ones I have lived and joked with over the last 2 weeks )that's how long I have been out of the coma died last night. I was rushed back to the ICU at 5 am today (minor breathing issues) so I will miss the funeral, and primarily I have no clothes

    So anyway enjoy your life, the new ones and the old ones . By the way if you are headed of to university this year then try to make friends with medics,
    That was who I was with when I collapsed. Shout out to the crew at the Newcastle South Airport Premier Inn who immediately spotted that I was ill not drunk and didn't deny us access and immediately allowed the rest of the gang to move my belongings down to it
    This provided a chance for all my belongings to travel to the hospital

    Today's posts were brought to you by my lower than expected blood pressure (something I thought I took to achieve).

    A fantastic Heath Robinson level machine married to a few high tech machines. This can adjust my meds while I'm napping (and on a schedule -

    Interestingly not shown is the heart rate monitor that is two thin needles pocked through my wrist
    I'm assuming that it is a hall effect thing.

    Thanks for all the well wishes! I am now home and discovering how much I was relying on the mechanical bed and people bringing food and drink to me at regular intervals.

    For anyone following along at home, I'm back in hospital but hopefully I can go home tomorrow. Once we've sorted out my blood pressure and magnesium levels.
