I promise this will be the last comp entry from my India shots - until I`m stumped that is  ;).

I have been slowly, and hopefully surely, getting my PC back to how I like it after a clean reinstall of W10 1909. So this week I have a picture from my phone.

This is the attic of a neighbour's house - the whole thing being in an appalling state. This is wheelchair from a previous hospital stay that he 'forgot' to return. He is in hospital once again after falling into yet another hypoglycemic coma. He is a type 1 diabetic who doesn't manage his condition at all. He also weighs more than 150 kg and this time it took the two paramedics and myself to get the gurney into the ambulance. Some people just take the urine out of free health care . . .

Its interesting H how some people don't seem able to use these vital services appropriately. Sorry he is not well though.

My plans didn't go to plan as I ended up looking after poorly wife for a few days. She ended up with sepsis after an abscess. She was delirious at points and looked like a hamster. Luckily she is on the mend now.

I managed to grab one at the nearby market after dark.

You mean she was covered in golden fur?  :o

Glad she is on the mend. Sepsis in very dangerous at any age.  :tup:

Like she was storing food on her cheeks!

Cheers Oldboy. Wasn't great but much better now. Luckily she saw good people and was looked after.

She's gone back to work today but still isn't right. But she won't listen to me.
