We shall be doing this on Twitter which is a 'service for co-workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question – What are you doing?' We shall be sending 'tweets' – text based posts of up to 140 characters. A tweet is a haiku for the digital age – well, sort of.
I have spent the past 11 years road testing various treatments for my multiple ailments. I've been cured of most so far. On Tuesday 28th April I had a new knee fitted to replace the disappointing one I inherited. So lots of my tweeting will be about hospital and knees and such like. Or TV or flocks of bird-like nurses or seal-like flurries of doctors? Let's see…
