h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

My youngest son has had to go into hospital for a while so my routine is totally disrupted at the moment. It's about a forty minute journey each way to the hospital which is not too bad. Coming home during rush hour traffic is the killer though; there are only two traffic speeds, 70mph or faster.

The Cornwall and Devon Safety Camera Partnership told me I had the winning ticket I give them £60 and they gave me 3 reward points. 80mph on the dual carraigeway, think they just needed to bump up the numbers, and revenue

Hope miladdo recovers soon

I remember being in the hospital for a month when I was ten. I hope your son will be all right, Mistadrong.

Thank you folks, so far nothing found so it's xrays and scans and a process of elimination.
Maybe that just means guesswork.
North Wales traffic police invited me to take part in their daily lottery as well.
Sixty pounds for three points; I wonder if I'll get a Brucie bonus?

Your insurance company will at your new found generosity for the next five years

Do hope he doesn't suffer a Mal debacle

Does "Mal" refer to "petit mal," which is an epilepsy seizure?

Oh no, far from it Move in so many threads I get confused Malabrista, from former GDR

I still don't know what a malabrista is.
Is it a disease? Is it a form of the Spanish word "Malabarista," which means juggler?

Oh dear this is going to be a long one A fellow Hootooer goes by the nameof 'Malabrista'. Has had a long running saga on these threads of medical shoulder shrugging

Has Malabrista been the victim of who can't really deal with what's happening? How sad!

The thread 'Malabarista's Medical Misadventures - Part n+1' should explain.

Ito read it as well but had no luck.
I think we need a link here.

Any word on your son yet, Mistadrong?

The hospital sent him home late Monday evening, "on leave" as they put it.
He was due to have an x-ray on his stomach but they only do that procedure on a Thursday.
So he goes back to hospital on Wendesday evening and hopefully they will find something
this time.
The gastroenterologist (hope I spelt that correctly) thinks it may be Irritable Bowel but wants to rule some things out first.

You could try

Mistadrong, I don't have a direct link because it's not a referenced entry, tis in Mal's journal entries, Have a look there

Glad to see miladdo is at least likely to be home at Christmas More than I will be

Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Crohn's Disease have some of the same symptoms. My father has the latter, and he's survived 88 years so far, so it is survivable.

Thanks for that info nortirascal, I did mange to find the journal article, saga more like.
88 is pretty good going Paul so it looks like you have good genes there.
My father's side of the family were also long-lived, 90 being the average for his nine brothers and two sisters.
I've got my fingesr crossed that I have inherited their genes.

Hopefully, you've passed those genes to your children and beyond.
