All was going exceptionally
well in my Last Hurrah tour at the point of my last post ……
just not enough hours in the day to be having such a brilliant time,
plus the occasional internet access and computer issues. I decided it
would be best to get back to writing and photos once I got home.
So I got home in the middle
of October 2014, and had to immediately organise all the financial,
pension, etc side of my retirement.
Then I got sick.
Very sick.
You know all those DVT
warnings that you ignore when you get on a plane?
Don’t!

I was in hospital for 10
days, totally flattened. To give themselves something to do, doctors found other things wrong with me. Now, thankfully and
miraculously, I’m back on track to getting on with retirement. But
it has taken quite a while.
Just for the record, there
are a whole list of symptoms for DVT. Until I couldn’t actually
breathe (the clot in my calf broke up and lodged as “lots” of
smaller clots in my lungs), I only had one symptom, a slight ache in
my leg. That was it.
If in doubt, go to your
doctor sooner rather than later.
I’m a bit of a bore about
DVT prevention these days, so for now I’d better get back to my
much more enjoyable travel tales 🙂
