Quickly.24/3/2024 Given how this week has been, I am just going to offer you a quick, and probably clumsily written update and leave it at that. Some of you will have noticed I have been quiet on social media. I am hoping to pick up the pace again soon, but for now I had to accept whatever consequences the algorithms have in store for me. I was admitted to hospital a week last Friday via the emergency department. Speculation was that the kidney stone that had been seen on the scanner was causing the colic pain. While I was there, my manuscript came back from a second round of professional editing, with a deadline for the corrections. I do hope you are all going to read it and think it is the bees knees, as I have been doing everything I possibly can to make it the best it can be. Of course there are a number of people I have to thank for helping me do that. I hope they all know how grateful I am. I was discharged on Monday, with follow-up tomorrow with the urologist and an appointment with my favourite gastroenterologist at the end of May. I found that difficult, this doctor now works in a hospital a fair drive away, but I trust him implicitly. He has profound knowledge of my various conditions and is able to consider the big picture. I might be seen earlier by someone new to me closer to home. Spot the patient who fears new doctors, and guess the reasons why… The choice I made does mean I am likely to be doing my launch tour, if you can call it that, in the same dilapidated state I am currently in. The pain is kept under control with medication and heat pads. Travelling to the UK and to a few places there will have to be planned extra carefully. Actually, I might be doing slightly better by then, if only I can shift this common cold that has seen fit to enter the scene since I have come home. So, while Jean will be reading through those last changes I have made, I will be writing a glossary. With a bit of luck I can send it straight back after that and focus on spreading the word. Again, if you would like to be kept informed of events etc… the best way is to subscribe to my email list. If you know of anyone that would be interested in a talk about medical gaslighting, or anything like that, please, let me know!
