I enjoy reading about the mundane things happening in your lives, and in return I toot the trivialities of my daily round.

But a lesson I repeatedly fail to take under my belt is that I shouldn't tell you lot when I'm unwell or, in particular, describe my unwellness.

Because every time I do someone - well meaning certainly - will be along to tell me that I should be taking more Vitamin Q, Pangolin Tail Extract or to remember to Hydrate.

Equally, there's sometimes some concerned individual who knows of someone - his brother's nextdoor neighbour's friend - who had exactly the same thing as I've got, but who delayed contacting the doctor by 17 nano-seconds resulting in them having to have their head amputated.

It's not your fault - you mean well, you don't know me or about my 40 years in healthcare - it's me, I'm over sharing.

Thanks for reading
