Sunday afternoon I was happily sitting at my computer when I felt a bit unwell, high temperature etc, so told Mrs Soap that I off to bed for a little rest. At midnight I was awoken by three people dressed as paramedics in my bedroom. It was like being in a carry on comedy as I watched them trying to attach a canula to my arm and strap a morphine drip on the chandelier above the bed. I just remember thinking what a strange dream I was having, and laughing.
Next thing I remember was waking up on what used to be called the intensive care unit of my local hospital and being spoken to by a cheerful young doctor. He told me it was five in the morning and I'd been brought in with pneumonia brought on in part to chest infections brought on by my low immunity due to chemotherapy. The doctor was asking about my breathing and what I would choose to happen if I was incapable of breathing without assistance from a machine. A real time stopping question and the first time I'd ever been scared of dying. I can't remember what, if anything, I replied, and since I've now been demoted to an Emergency Floor side room with an oxygen mask and varying drips, I'm presuming I've moved away from the question of turn me off or turn me on again for the time being. I also remember thinking I can't die because Ryorry told me that I wasn't allowed until Ipswich reached the Premier League.
Anyway oxygen and antibiotics seem to be working so I reckon I'm pretty much invincible and will outlive you all. By the way, how's our new manager search going?

New manager is Alan Pardew. Football is ruined forever more.
Hope you're feeling better soon mate.

Congrats on beating the reaper, Mum had Pneumonia over Christmas and you banged the nail on the head saying it was time stopping. Her recovery has been strong and she's enjoyed a new lease of life afterwars, so if that is a good template to you, iI hope you enjoy yourself

So, your avatar was quite appropriate for this weekend?
Good to hear you're recovering from that but, yes, end of life questions are normally avoided when they really shouldn't be by any of us.
He was trying to be as upbeat as he could about it, and I can't for the life of me think what I said to him, I think he asked if I had a particular faith, and I haven't seen him since, bless him. That's not really how I see my avatar to be honest, it's just a great bit of Lowry observation.

Not really, I'm just determined not to go before you. ðŸ˜
Maybe you two could consider some kind of Thelma and Louise type exit?

To be honest I’m not sure my grandkids will be around long enough to see us in the premier league and as long as we avoid teenage pregnancies they won’t be born for at least another fifteen years.
Glad you’re still about to tell us about it Joe. Godspeed sunshine.

Ok, wait til the weekend. Did you want to be Thelma or Louise? Unfortunately there's not many canyons in Suffolk, and finding enough police for the chase would be a nightmare.

Blimey, get well soon Joe, we'll see if we can get Pardew to sign a card for you.
Waking up in icu wondering wtf is this? is quite the experience, hopefully you'll come back stronger than ever.
No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.
The concern is we're all in the afterlife and you've just joined us here. I guesd the only way of confirming we're not is if nobody from Suffolk moans on this site ever again.
Working on the basis that will never happen congrats on surviving

A number of people I have known with very serious conditions have actually died from pneumonia rather than the pre-existing condition. So congrats Joe on dodging that bullet.

Ha Ha, but having been asked the question I'm still not sure if or what I answered.
They got the morphine in then.......maybe you should ask what your reply was and check it tallies with what you think! All the best fella....I'm currently in Turkey and have seen numerous swallows on wires which nowadays make me send you a thought. The swifts here are bloody amazing too.....
