Re: Ladies and gentlemen, it's been an honour.

Will you remain in the hospital, or will you be able to return home? How long do they estimate that you now have? I'm already home. Estimates are "some number of weeks", which might be a large number or a small one, impossible to say--the doctor did say he would not be at all surprised if he got a ...

Re: Ladies and gentlemen, it's been an honour.

OK, the chemo thery hoped would at least slow the cancer down has failed, so we're basically onto "no treatment and let it run its course" now.

Re: Well, what a deeply unpleasant week this has been.

Hopefully it doesn't take days to get a bed. They can't just call you and you get a cab to the hospital? And hopefully you brought your tech and they have charging areas or wall plugs available. They give you an ETA on when a bed might be free? I was already in the hospital, chemo? And I have tech ...

Re: Well, what a deeply unpleasant week this has been.

Well, latest round of unpleasantness. I was supposed to be having chemo today (second dose of the palliative chemo they're trying), but turns out the ulcer in my groin on top of the tumour has become infected and so they have to deal with that first--which involves taking me into hospital. Again. Sp...

Nope, Brexit has turned into a total and utter cluster.... of a mess.
Saying this implies that it wasn't that right from the beginning. It was always going to be a disaster and the so-called "fearmongers" have been proved right on every argument they made.
