Plymouth landmark

First, thank you so much for all the clever guesses at my mystery abstract yesterday. (Just looking at it for the first time on my laptop and the colouring is totally different from the view when I posted it, and look at it, on my tablet ! But I digress!) Only Elwetritsche (and my sister via email!) identified it correctly as a bunch of keys! Well done! :-)

This is a back blip after a very, very long day. It began at noon Friday when, after 72 hours of increasing pain and breathlessness, Mr PP accepted he needed medical advice. I drove him to A&E in Derriford hospital (whose easily identifiable chimney I've blipped) in Plymouth. There we spent the next nine hours as he underwent various tests and saw a series of doctors of increasing specialisms and seniority. Eventually, by 10pm, they'd installed him in a ward to be kept in overnight on antibiotic and pain-killing drips. The verdict isn't final, but appears to indicate cholecystitis - inflamation of the gallbladder. The good news is that any infection has not spread and all the rest of his body is in good working order. As it's the weekend, there was no opportunity for the clinching test of an ultrasound scan. But he is responding to treatment. It was gone 11pm when I got home last night. (Took me a while to find my way to the A38 in the dark!) Utterly exhausted but happy that Mr PP's in the best place and receiving the best care the NHS can offer.
