AdeV:
I have got Pleurisy!

**** me it hurts.  :bang: :bang: :bang: So much for thinking it was just a pulled muscle  :Doh:

Harrumph, will be back at the machines asap.

PS: Anyone know where to add the lubricating oil? I'm sure that's all it needs...

You have my sympathy, Ade. Like you, I thought it was just a pulled ribcage muscle, but then I started getting short of breath when walking. An X-ray showed pleurisy.

If it's any comfort, antibiotics soon sorted me out. I rapidly began to feel better, and another X-ray 10 days after the first showed it had cleared up completely. There was no long-term damage.

You have my sympathy too. I did get some stellar service at the ER when I went in short of breath and clutching my chest though. Its years ago now but if I recall correctly the drugs sorted me out pretty promptly.
AdeV:
Buggeration, it's worse than that, so now I'm in for the night :(

John - looks like our conversation on Tuesday jinxed me.... no infections for months, and now I'm hospitalised!

Should be back to normal in a couple of days :)
andyf:
Oh dear!

Never mind. Perhaps the nurses are pretty  :)

It's traditional to take bunches of grapes to those in hospital, so I hope you enjoy these:
