Where's Ben?

In case anyone was wondering why I haven't been out and about or in touch lately, I'm not being unsociable or anything, I've just been very sick for the last month and haven't had access to a computer or anything.

I'm currently being treated for Crohn's disease, which is pretty horrible so I'll spare you the details, but it has meant I've spent the last two weeks in hospital and I've also lost a stone and a half in just two weeks. I've had three blood transfusions, been on a drip for several days, and was stuck in a ward with insane old men uncontrollably plopping themselves and shouting like Father Jack all the way through the night. It's all been a bit dramatic really, and it's also something I'm going to be stuck with for life, but it could be worse, and apparently it goes into periods of remission with no symptoms that can last for years sometimes too.

Anyway, I'm currently staying in Birmingham with my family while I recover as I'm currently quite weak and unstable. After that I'm hoping to be back in Brighton next weekend, and back to work and maybe out for a drink or two the week after. I'm now looking forward to living a normal life again and getting back into the real world. Hope to see you all soon.
