A post from Mark (fellow blogmaster)

Peter asked me to give everyone a quick update……

It was clear that Peter didn’t really appreciate how ill he was until yesterday afternoon (and as I visited him can vouch for the fact he looked very ill) when it was decided he needed some hospital care, consequently he got his first ride in an ambulance to Southampton General. There they have been rehydrating him and attempting to get his neutophil count back up to something approaching normal as well as treating his extremely sore mouth.

He called me this evening and sounded considerably better than yesterday (when I doubt he could even have held a phone) and told me about the cocaine mouthwash (very effective) and the other treatments he is getting. He will provide you the full gory details later in the week when he is discharged – hopefully Thursday.
All being well I will visit him in the next day or two and will take with me any comments posted so he doesn’t suffer too much from Blog withdrawal.

    Thanks for the update Adrian and looking forward to the cory details from Peter – he tells them so well.

    Hi Peter
    Just to say this contribution is to hopefully counteract Blog Withdrawal which sounds quite painful.
    Take care, we’re all thinking of you in rainy Sussex.
    We’re down in Southampton on Sunday celebrating daughter’s birthday so, all things depending, may see you then.
    Limbs and digits crossed that you are already feeling better.
    Love
    Bryans

    Peter came out of hospital yesterday and was going to go up to Guys today.

    I spoke to him briefly last night and while better than last Sunday he clearly has not yet regained his strength.

    Am sure he will post as soon as he feels up to it.
