I have high blood pressure. I’ve had both my retinas lasered to stop them becoming detached. Now I discover that I have Barrett’s Oesophagus and divesticular disease. Lovely.
The obvious question arises: How does Barrett cope? But how rock and roll is divesticular disease? Not rock and roll at all. No romantic condition like drug addiction for me, but a disease that is just plain disgusting. Someone like Kate Moss will go out with a junkie, but I can’t see her going out with someone who has divesticular disease.
Worse yet, one of the ways to reduce the chances of Barrett’s Oesophagus becoming cancerous is to drink little or no alcohol. My social life revolves around alcohol. When I tried for a non-drinking social life by taking up amateur dramatics, I ended up boozing with the other thespians.
My main consolation is that I can sing karaoke sober, and have done so on many occasions.
