Thanks olddude, you just made my day.

I guess I'm OK now, although the arm is still a bit uncomfortable and I get bouts of tiredness hit me unexpectedly.

Me and my good lady (who was almost as traumatised as I was, and has been running around after me, driving me to the hospital 5 times so far) have been planning just the kind of treats you've all been mentioning.

I think this thread has run its course now, I probably won't post again.
