Only Tricky will probably give one Scintilla of a fuck but my Mum had the diagnosis of two burst ulcers that occurred when she was visiting. This explains the hemorrhaging. This is actually a good thing as it can be treated with antibiotics and that it was the best case scenario all things considered.
The colon blockage was scar tissue. We hope it is from a previous surgery (appendix was removed when she was younger) because if it isn't then it's almost certainly cancer. She having a colonoscopy to look around next week. So far so good, but the gal looks to be around a little longer.
As for Covid, it's pretty rampant around here but I have yet to get it (as far as I know), because I still wear masks at work. It's simple really, contrary to Simon's assertions that I am living in some hyperbolic internet reality, I cannot take time off due to the amount of money I have had to borrow for house stuff. Also, I prefer not to infect anyone (especially the older clients and the auto immune compromised ones too, of which I have a few)).
I still have two friends with long Covid which is remarkable really as they were the fittest people I have ever known. Don't want to ever find out.
Knees are baskets though, so Jeff I sympathize as I know it's a cnut.
Chicago: Still not getting that inheritance.
