The lengths some people will go to in order to generate Substack content! Seriously though, Den - I hope things begin to get a little easier for you today and they get you back up and about. Take it easy buddy.
Dennis we don’t talk for a fortnight and look at the trouble you get into:) man the pain sounds merciless but glad it has not dented your sense of humor. Look forward to hosting you on a video episode and you can share gory details of the torture. In the meantime behave! Prayers and best wishes.

Oh no, get well my friend!
Hope you are back on your feet soon towards the 90+ years. Ideally without smoking, so that they will be good ones. The "... involve involuntary yodelling for the pain gods. ..." cracked me up. You are making the best out of this situation it seems.
no sympathy…. does that mean I can grab some popcorn and wait for the next elegantly crafted description of pain or bodily invasion? Opium does have a long standing relationship with above average literature.
Thank you for sharing this account. There are some conspiracy theorists in my world who insist that the NHS isn't really under pressure and Covid is a hoax. I'll refer them to this post (though they probably won't be interested). I hope you take after your father.
"I was telling an enterprise software vendor to go f@ck off when the short-tempered prick cold-cocked me and punched me in the kidneys! Bloody hell!!!"
Then the story would morph into:
"When I got off the floor, I told him exactly where he could put his oversized AI toolbox and we went directly into Round 2. The rest of this 7-round ungentlemanly disagreement went on for an hour and involved some of the choicest words I've ever used. I even surprised myself at one point!"
Then the ending would go like:
"We fought hard until he finally agreed what I fine human being I am."
Seriously, if some injury can kick Den's butt this hard, it must have been a doozy! Get well, my friend!
Not your usual content to be fair, Den. And would you let them do their goddamn job and sort you out? Be nice, get on an even keel as soon as, and hope to see some more of your handiwork soon.
Hey Den, happy to have found you here but not about the circumstances, OMFG. Sorry to realise the whammy you've been hit by (god knows what true scale of whammy, I couldn't calculate and I read it twice). Morphine is more likely to keep you alive than cigs, so that's a positive. Keep on mate, I so enjoy your exemplary food pics, they are the only ones I see anywhere which make me hungry. Wishing you all the best for a full recovery - Dean

You've got this. Give it hell!

Big hug my friend, Mark.
P.S. Hope laughing doesn't hurt too much. If it does, you may want to wait with this link. Romesh's new material is out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AkZNU5ISkY

Bloody hell Dennis - we can always rely on you to go all in! Hope it eases off today and you make a speedy recovery.

Hope you get out of there soon Den and stay off the fags! Thinking of you!
Fucking hell - you're never one to do things by half measures, are you?
Hang in there Dennis! You’ll be out soon.
