Although he's not around that much, I thought I'd pass on the news from SB.com...

That's nasty, but it may be nothing major. It could be gastroenteritis or food poisoning like Campylobacter. While they can be fatal, that's an extreme worst case, though infected can throw up blood or have bloody stools.
All the best to him on a swift recovery. He may be from Yorkshire, but dammit, he's a fun man.
Chairman Bob wrote:Good news ladies and gentlemen, Lord Woodlouse is expected to leave hospital later today....
He's just waiting on blood results, tablets or something like that....
I saw him personally this evening and he is very much alive and well, chomping at the bit to get home.....
Unfortuanatley most of the nurses on the ward are fat and ugly, although there is one or two that could pass as acceptable.....

Hopefully it was nothing more serious than an ulcer that had started bleeding. My dad, rest his soul, had that happen to him one night.
......... we never did get the blood out of the carpet.........

Just in case you were wondering, it was something to do with my stomach wall getting weak or somesuch. They kept me in hospital for about four days.
I'm now on some tablets to make my stomach not... er... bloody.
Sounds like Ulceration, just like my dad had. Just stay away from spicy foods, and drink milk. It helps heal the open sores.

Bah. In my line of work people explode all the time. Some of them regularly and on purpose.
He'll be up and about in no time, just you wait.
Lord_Woodlouse: Good to have you back. Hape the stomach gets better soon.
