Simon,

Just using this to add my sympathy and good wishes for a speedy recovery from the kidney stone trouble. You do perhaps have too much activity & stress and too many deadlines to meet. One can imagine that you don't find time or space to eat and drink properly either. I hope you can find some way of having it dissolved - and quickly too.

Please heed the warning signs that this kidney stone brings. Try to ease up a bit and be kinder to yourself. We only have one Simon Clark.
