Why I have not posted for a while

Yeah, I know, my rate of posting stuff isn't that high at the best of times, but...

Around the end of June, I collapsed at work. I had no radial pulse (no pulse in the arms or legs) and less than a 5th of the normal blood pressure.

I had been feeling weak for a couple of days, and had totally lost my appetite. When the folks at casualty looked at me, it turned out that I'd lost 5 pints of blood, and it was still dropping. For comparison, there's about 10 pints in the average human body.

I was bleeding internally, bigtime. It was caused by a cut or ulcer in my guts somewhere that had hit a vein, and I was effectively eating myself... hence the lack of need to consume anything else. Nice. I kept this up for a while, and spent a week in observation stuck to a drip.

A week later I was out, and had to curb my enthusiasm for weekend alchohol, as well as spending a lot less time sat in front of this computer (I was told that the 'sitting in front of computer' position is not so good for the healing process).

Almost exactly a month later to the day (end of July), I split up with my partner. If we had have stayed together for two weeks longer, we would have made tenth anniversary (that's years).

I'm over the worst of all this, so don't worry. Normal service will be resumed in a week or so when things settle down.... or rather, when I've convinced myself there's nothing else due to hit me at the end of August...

On the plus side, my weekend getting pissed and dancing like a mad fool antics are back to normal. So that's at least one good thing already :)
