Being for the benefit of Mr Crab

Less than one minute read time.

Have you ever wondered what Mr Crab & Co look like? I don't mean Googling for images of cancer, because, ew, but have you ever tried to put a face to him?

I have. Mind you, it's pretty easy for me, because of where my own personal Mr Crab lives - in my tummy, which is so much easier to explain than 'peritoneum'. He looks like this:

 

 

Those are actually the Snapping Turks from Yellow Submarine, which is a v good film, although not if you don't like the Beatles (or if you like them Very Earnestly). I was a bit wary of Googling 'snapping Turk', which sounds like a Victorian sex aid, and, for all I know, is, but I was traumatised yesterday by an unwise Google for 'perineum' and maybe that's made me over-cautious.

I have been further traumatised today by Googling for coffee enemas. They sell the beans on Amazon, you guys!

So, in case you ever wondered what I do all day, at the moment the answer is mostly: I'm in bed with the gentlemen pictured above, or one of them.

I've had better.

    Oh Hils,

    You are mad, mad, mad!

    I cannot believe the coffee enema idea, was that Colin, and you googled it and found something, yuk!

    Still I must say it has been a very informative couple of days as I now the difference between the perineum and the peritoneum thanks to you, and I didn't look for any images!

    Joycee - I'm getting a bit tired of this whole being ill lark, to be honest, and I don't understand why I'm still tired and breathless if my lung's healed up. But I suppose it takes time. And patience. Grrrr!

    Mollyb - why, yes, yes, I am, um, I mean: thank you!!

    Tim - isn't 'snapper' a fish? *is scared* Coffee enemas, incredibly, are an actual alternative therapy. I think I'll stick with the chemo!

    It's the 'peri-' that makes all these terms so confusing. The people who first named our innards didn't have much imagination.

    *hugs all round*
