Health update

In case any of you were worrying, I'm now feeling much better. Just over two weeks after getting back from Argentina. 

Not totally back to normal, but well on my way. I'm now just coughing like a chain smoker. A course of antibiotics and some steroids really helped. And lots of rest. 

I need to get my strength back. As I'm off to Australia in three weeks. With Andrew. Wish me luck.

  1. That’s great news Ron, very glad to hear it, someone posted yesterday about the pneumonia vaccine, I don’t know much about it, but that sounds like a good idea. Please don’t force yourself to go to Australia if you’re not ready.

  2. Well done, onwards and upwards.
    When one reaches a certain age it's a good idea to get a pneumococcal vaccination, every four or five years. Doesn't stop you getting colds but protects you from the real nasty strains and from meningitis.

  3. Good to hear that, my word you did sound queer (as Stanley Holloway might have put it). Keep taking the tablets and have a good rest before you jet off again.

  6. Some pretty stupid comments from Anonymous there. I'd have been fucked without the drugs I was given. And what sort of idiot is against vaccines?

  7. Man alive we are being twitterised - thought Ron's blog was a refuge from the keyboard warrior anti-science lunatics. Wake up indeed. Glad you're feeling better Ron.

  8. Just for the record, anyone who is anti-vaccine is not only a fucking moron, they're also a dangerous, irresponsible fucking moron who doesn't give a fuck about their fellow human beings. Just making that clear.
