realised I was next in line so I pulled my blankets right
            up,  put  me  shades  on  and  began  snoring  in  a
            "demonstrably I am very much asleep fashion". I hoped
            the  array of  tubing  and needles and  bleeping  machines
            hooked up to my body might also give him the hint that I
            was  feeling  slightly  below  par  and  not  like  having  an
            impromptu  chat.....BUT  NOOOOO!  He  stood  next  to
            me saying "Hello, hello, hello" while I snored increasingly
            loudly and we became locked in a bizarre battle of wills
            fought out between greetings and snoring’s. Eventually I
            won and he sodded off but I was horrified, not just cos I
            didn’t particularly want to speak to him but because, why
            is it that if you do something under the guise of Religion
            its  fine!?!?  "I’d  like  to  go  bothering  poor  defenceless
            women on their sick and death beds please?"
           - "No you can’t do that.”
           - "But, it’s for religion and I’ve got a white rectangle on me
            neck"
           - "Oh yeh that’s fine"
           What  next?  People  bed  bound  on  hospital  wards  being
            subjected  to  MPs  and  Avon  Ladies  and  Charity
            Fundraisers?

           SO  many  questions  and  contradictory  thoughts  going
            through my mind after losing my breast in the emergency
            surgery last week:
           * I can’t bear to live like this - disfigured forever.
           * I know my surgeon would put me forward immediately
            for  the  other  type  of  reconstruction  now  the  implants
            have failed.
           * The other type of reconstruction is a major amount of
