3rd stage is not good.

I've just spent the last many, many hours practically since my last post to this laid up in bed with food poisoning, and am now shaking and white and all that general horribleness. What would it be like if I was only going to get worse, not better? I know I would want the option of avoiding suffering.

Right, back to bed. I'll have to so a superfast writing job in the morning....
