After a whole week in bed, trying in vain to maintain whatever dignity I had left after hip surgery (having to pee – every 2 to 3 hours - in one of those cold buckets hospitals have for patients unable to go to the bathroom is not the most uplifting experience, not is it trying to read with needles ...
