Fucking sick for the last week. Started off with a regular cold but now have some post virus fatigue thing, having waves of real tiredness and aches and pains, especially in my thighs. 

 

It might just be because I'm getting older, but ever since having COVID (3 or 4 times, lost count) even small illnesses take more out of me, and for longer. 

 

What a load of shit life can be.

Oh shit! I've just started to feel like this over the last day or two myself.

If it starts with a gravelly throat then goes like a heavy head cold I'm just getting over it.

Completely blocked my sinuses, it felt like I was drowning for a couple of days.

It burned itself out after a week and I'm much better now.

Nasty little bastard though.

I fell over last Sunday in the house pissing about with the dog, landed on my back and I’ve cracked a rib under my shoulder blade. I’ve been in agony all week even turning over in bed is a bastard. I’ve just coughed and the pain was absolutely unbearable. She reckons we should go to A&E because it’s not improved even slightly in 5 days. Utter bastard it is.

Bumming dogs is a fun but dangerous endeavour.

Have you had a shit since you broke your rib? I broke mine years ago and it was agony having a dump.

Yeah it’s been alright. I’ve sneezed since I posted that earlier and I nearly burst out crying.

I’m in Rome for work and have the flu. I may die here like Keats. 


I saw a dead body in Rome once. An American tourist, she’d just expired and was laid out in the street. 
 

On the same trip, I also saw a bloke having a shit up against a tree. 
 

I didn’t see Keats. It’s possible he might already have been dead.

I used to go to India a lot. Never got used to the sight of men, kids and sometimes even women taking a big shit in the street then wild pigs running over and gobbling it up. I didn’t eat pork for years after.

On a separate note, Keats died quite near my hotel. I may pop by the flat tomorrow.

I don't think even pigs would go near my shit. In fact I reckon I could shit start a building boom of public toilets going up.

How do you know you cracked a rib?

I've suffered with prostate problems for a few years now which caused bladder stones, loads of infections and the need to constantly pee even though at times it was just drips. Had my last operation (of 4) a few months ago and had a catheter in for a month to try to stop the scar tissue from closing up again.

 

When it came out it turned out that the bladder muscles are now too weak to 'evacuate' properly and so I was once again left with constant pee in the bladder which causes the stones etc.

 

It was suggested to me to try self-catheterisation at home as an alternative to a permanent catheter but I was panicking about the pain when doing it myself.  Turns out it's one of the greatest things in the whole of creation, it takes roughly a minute to do around midday and at night and I can piss normally at other times. They cost about £6.00 each (single use, obviously) which I was prepared to pay but my consultant has sorted it as part of a prescription so I just get them delivered every month.

 

I'd literally forgotten how it felt to properly empty your bladder and it's fantastic. Only the dodgy knees, gammy ankle and permanently blocked sinuses to worry about now.

I've had bladder problems for years without any diagnosis and all tests of bladder and prostate show no problems at all. The amount of peeing is ridiculous so the prime candidate is nerve problems. Just started with the Walton Centre to find a solution but the first set of injections did fuck all. I've tried that self catheter stuff but simply cannot do it as I reckon the first flexible cystoscopy did the damage in the first place. Oh to pee less again. Glad you have got relief though.

Old age is a cunt.

It absolutely is, I hope they can sort you out. Constant peeing is no fun when you know you’ll need to go again in another half hour.

Was on holiday in Majorca in the late 80's walking along the hotel corridor when a load of screaming came from one of the rooms. We knocked to help and It transpired a lady had died. The Brother in Law ended up giving her the last rites, despite not having been to mass for about 10 years. He's from Belfast,  full of shit, and said they were taught it in school !!

Explain that in a bit not detail if you don't mind. 

 

So people literally take a shite on the streets in India?

It’s less common than it used to be but still 150 million people are estimated to their daily shit outside. India is a weird place, in Mumbai you see teenage kids driving new Ferraris then 1/2 hour away in the country side farmers are still ploughing the fields with oxen and taking a shit by the side of the road.
