fiat_knox: silhouette of myself taken at sunrise (Shadow person)
Today I awoke hungry, tired and a bit bilious, and all for a reason.

Sunday night, beginning at around 21:00, I began to feel an excruciating pain on the right side of my abdomen which would not go away. I had to go into hospital, and I was discharged on Monday. I spent the rest of the week so far feeling very uncomfortable and sore.

My discharge was not the only thing that happened. I began puking up quantities of runny blackish-brown liquid with gritty bits in. Turned out to be gallstones. I think I may have passed at least one, but my bile duct has so far settled down somewhat.

This week has been a real test of my fortitude, particularly my intestinal fortitude - it took me until today, for the first time, with the generous aid of some figs, to finally begin to pass stools.

However, I would like to reassure you all that I have set foot on the path to recovery.

And that, for the first time in all of my Caganerwatch posts, the caganer of the day is ... ME!
