I head into hospital tomorrow to get the last of that crap drained out of my lungs and for a bunch of tests to try work out what it was doing there. I’ll probably be in for four nights because of the stent - ie. the garden hose I’ll wake up with jammed through my ribs.
I loaded up the iPad with plenty of TV and movies. It’s a good chance to catch up on my stack o’ shame. I’m taking the Kindle with some Le Carre, but I wanted to have a trad paperback too and was wondering what would suit when I remembered I hadn’t cracked the seal on Peter Corris’s final Cliff Hardy novel.
This is a tough one, because once I read it, I have no more new Cliff to look forward to. But it seems the time is here.
I’ve saved Loki for this stay, and I’m gonna try the first season of The Last Kingdom.
Work wise, I’ll try write this Friday’s column early and I have a chapter of 3.1 set in a hospital, so I’ll see if feel up to playing around with that.
Kinda hoping to get the self administered morphine drip though, so… we’ll see.
Might have to seek out that Cliff Hardy book - I read one a few years back and then trawled my local library for as many as they had on the shelves! Always fun to read of happenings in my local area (Bondi) and places like Newtown and Glebe that I am familiar with. Heal well and fast too - getting medically stabbed in the chest is shite
Good luck with the procedure and recuperation. Read the final Cliff Hardy a short while ago. Corris doesn't disappoint. Fourty-Two novels of Cliff plus a number of shorts. A guilty pleasure? Cliff would beg to differ over a beer at the Toxteth.

Very good choice on The Last Kingdom but IMHO not so good on Loki. I'm just about marvelled out these days and just can't watch any more of that shit (with the possible exception of the next Guardians of The Galaxy movie - can't wait).
Hope it all goes well and you get some answers on the bong fluid in your lungs!
Loki is a solid choice for a hospital sojourn, and you also have the Raven On recap podcast to amuse yourself with too 😀
Good luck JB! Hope it goes well and you're feeling heaps better soon!

Great preparation, but I would expect no less. Hope they find out what was generating the fluid. It would be worrying to have to just 'live with it'.

If ya keep punching the PCA button, you may not make it past the opening credits of whatever you watch or read. Good sojourns to you.
Sounds gruesome! Hope you’re up and about soon.
Hope it all goes well in the hospital.

Hope it goes well. Seeing as you're in for a few days I want you to reflect on the fact that not even Hitler used chicken salt.
Records from that period are spotty at best.
