Does the Time Difference Have an Effect?

I’m six hours ahead of the UK here and seven of Europe.  So if I  watch the cricket on Cricinfo or talk to friends at home, this tends to move my day backwards.  I think it makes me tired and a bit stressed.

I suppose it’s a bit like jet-lag.

Not So Lucky

The hospital I’m in has no 4th, 14th, 24th or 34th floors. Superstition!

Physiotherapy

This is one of the highlights of the day. Especially, as the department looks over the green of Happy Valley racecourse.

An automated/instrumented body

As I lie here I’m connected to a heart monitor, that reports by radio to the central support unit. But they also take my blood pressure, pulse rate and temperature every hour or so.

How long will it be before I could wear a body suit, that did everything automatically, even if I was at home in bed?

This could take a complete map of everythung the wearer did.

In addition to medical treatment, it could have implications in the treatment of mental health and drug addition. especially if it contained a two-way communication link, so they could be informed when to take their medication.

A Very Good Sweet and Sour Pork

I just had a very nice lunch. It was all gluten-free too!

It was thickened with corn flour.

Going on Rat Poison

I’m being put on Warfarin to thin my blood. Some might say appropriate.
