Glad to hear you're feeling better now Roger.

I know Charmion. At my age, nobody's ovaries are exactly blooming. My sister says she may have been having a quick look for ovarian cancer while she had me there, so to speak. Also, you're quite right, gallstones are Not Nice. But she did clarify that none of the little blighters was blocking the duct and all were 'floating free'. It was just her snippy attitude. Maybe she was fed up; her job must be rather boring and not well-paid.

When I had my brain scan the two young men in charge were delightful, and said I had no tumour, but some very distorted, twisted blood vessels which were something they'd not seen before! 'Loopy' they called them. My daft friend said,"Are you sure it wasn't you they were calling Loopy, 'cos that would make more sense?" I chopped her head off with an axe. (not true)
