36 Days in Intensive Care (2019)

My experience of thirty weeks in hospital in 2018 with severe pancreatitis. There were five operations I'm told, none of which I was expected to survive. I was so weak when I came to that I needed to use one arm to lift the other arm up, but went on to make a full recovery, to the amazement of the doctors. People who meet me now don't realise I have been ill.

My dreams were vivid - a result of the medication, apparently - and I have included them, along with the story from my point of view, with additional notes made by the nurses and doctors.

The cover image is a watercolour by my mother, Alice Pennant in 1971 or 1972 of a scene probably in the island of Mull, Scotland. It hangs along with seven other watercolours by her in a room in Benmore Lodge, Mull. I have scans of the images. Please enquire.
