A year ago today, I woke up with an Always pad stuck to my bum, after twisting during the night. This caused a rash the next day and after a weekend of pain, I was admitted to hospital with necrotising fasciitis and septic shock.

Kindness matters. But kindness does not = justice. Civility counts. But calling for civility is not the humane response to injustice. Justice is. Love is essential. But love is not a passive, weeping bystander. Love puts in the work.

If someone is speaking to you in a foreign accent they are smart enough to know at least 2 languages - and were brave enough to do their job in their second. It’s so easy to condescend, assume and patronise when all they deserve is your respect and your humility

Analgesia: a quick thread (Mostly for fun) Paracetamol: old faithful and only surviving analine analgesic. Mild pain and pyrexia. Beware low body weight and pill burden esp in severe pain.
