I have just got out of hospital after a 4-day stay having my appendix out. Observing what went on there has already helped me create my recently posted poem "Together 'Til The End", based on what I couldn't help but witness when another patient was informed of her terminal illness.
I think a touch of comedy might be next - I'll set Muriel off on another quest to land herself a lovely young doctor. She's a tryer!
