To repeat from the comments box below...

I'm fine, thanks.
I've not been poorly.
You don't need to feel sorry for me, or ask me to get better.

But I have just spent 30 hours bed-bound in my local hospital, in amongst several other patients who were recovering from some very nasty stuff indeed.

Glad to hear you are ok. Hope it was nothing serious.

We'll expect a photograph soon perhaps?

Glad you're in one piece. I find hospitals are great places to look at people and realise how healthy you are.

I looked at cardio patients in Wheeliebinland General and was suddenly very thankful I didn't smoke. I'm fat as a walrus (koo-koo katchoo!) though so I expect perhaps a return visit in future :-

Chin up

Most strange. Come on spill the beans please...

Tsk, I'm disappointed. Where was the minute-by-minute liveblogging from the hospital on Twitter?!! Talk about a waste of a mobile phone...

Hope you return to top form (eg. regular blogging) very soon.

Ah but you never know who might read your Twitters in the future, do you? So I thought it safest not to announce some of my grimmer hospital-bound experiences to the world.

Has this post got a bit longer in the last few minutes or have I just imagined it?

(I think you meant to post a link about Twittervision, no?)

*hides*

"Everybody you meet for the next few hours is going to ask you exactly the same "How did you feel?" question, so it helps to have a good description already prepared. "

Never have truer words been spoken.

Hmmmm...odd. I had completely different symptoms (just palputations), but had the same thing.

Least you're okay

Goodness DG, what happened?

I'm glad you're feeling better now, and that they've let you go home.

You're bit about no laptops etc. is interesting. When my wife was in the labour ward (NHS, Whipps Cross) we took the laptop and a bunch of DVDs - not even a raised eyebrow.

Hope you're OK.

This has to be THE most practical advice I've read on the subject, assuming one is able to move around before assistance arrives.

From mild concern to mild relief.

Still slightly confused, but happy that all seems well.

Good to "see" you back on board. Now that you know the true diagnosis, are you temped to see what a search on symptoms in Google throws up?

flashgordonnz | 24.05.07 - 10:02 p.m. | #

damn.... hope/glad you're ok

what ever possessed you to visit a hospital as a patient?

Rickster | 25.05.07 - 7:03 a.m. | #

So glad you are well enough and back blogging... you're my favourite thing in my work day!

elegantducky | 25.05.07 - 8:04 a.m. | #

Glad to hear (well, read) that it was nothing serious.

cheers,
Dave

hope you are feeling better now.

another thing for your list to do before the ambulance comes to get you: grab all the medication that you have to take, as the hospital likes to know what you are taken, and won't normally give you any of their drugs unless absolutely necessary (well that is what i found out!)

DG-

Been on vacation, eschewing computer use, just read this and am glad to see you well, though concerned for your future health and hoping it remains positive. (Diagram THAT sentence...)

Good to know that the NHS have personnel who understand that the treatment of a patient is not 100\\% medical.

Stay well,

Dave in Chicago

Hope the food wasn't too grisly. Welcome back DG.
