Hiatus

Just got home from hospital. Ten days ago I stepped out to the end of my street to catch a bus, and then my lungs decided not to cooperate. I collapsed, pulled out my phone and made a hash of trying to call an ambulance. Fortunately, another woman stopped to see if I was okay, took over the call and stayed with me till the ambulance had loaded me on board.

That was ten days ago, as noted above. The cause was a large blood clot in my pulmonary artery.

I am just trying to catch up now, but chances of an eleventh competition story are zero. As for my medical bills:
Emergency ambulance: free
Ten days in hospital moving from 'acute' to 'respiratory/ ward: free
Surprisingly decent three meals a day: free
CT scans: free
Medications (oral and injected anticoagulants): free
Aftercare and continuing prescriptions: free
