Ageing (dis)gracefully
It transpires that Quent does have a bacterial chest infection. (His neutrophylls and CRP were elevated in the blood tests). Given we go to Manchester a week on Thursday, we have to focus on getting him better asap. Dr Savage has given him 5 days' antibiotics and told us to go back if Quent is not better by the end of the week.
I, however, am a fraud. I had an x-ray recently (for something else) which revealed my trachea is deviated. The most common cause of this is a thyroid goiter (lump). I had an appointment at Charing Cross this morning, before Quent's, but on examination it transpires I am probably just a bit wonky. I have hypochondria, but it's not generally treatable.
His and hers hospital appointments. Next stop, reading glasses and a subscription to Saga magazine.

Attempting to swallow something large and turning your head to one side has been known to temporarily move the trachea, especially when coughing or choking ! Could be a reason, no?
