None that I was aware of, in my case. I went for the periodic blood test to verify the meds aren't killing me - or possibly that they are. Couple days later a doctor rings to say I appear to have gallstones and my liver's enlarged. Asks if I've had pain, I say only what I put down to the last time I collided with the road - and that it intermittently hurts at the other sites too.

So he made another appointment for a blood test to verify it. Meanwhile I read up on gallstones, had fairly heavy meal, then got the kind of stabbing pains supposedly they give you after a heavy meal. Apparently crash dieting, my usual approach, makes gallstones worse.

But that's not enlarged liver. Since I apparently do have gallstones, and presumably an enlarged liver, I suppose some of the residual ache I put down to the crash, is actually from an enlarged liver.

My mum had serious pain in her side - I was with her at the time. I got the paramedic couple from nextdoor round, they got an ambulance. She had an enlarged liver. About a week later she was diagnosed with cancer of the liver, and a year later she was dead.

Grim stuff.

Started a deep clean/polish/bring back to 100% stock of my 996S....the most loved bike in the stable.

Now that is what I call a project and every credit to you. It's an incredible amount of work and the love that goes into it is beyond calculation. Well done you.

I genuinely can't help it...I get a bit of gumption and get carried away. The gold wheeled one in the background was a nut and bolt resto that has a thread on here somewhere...still not finished...been standing at least a year. It'll need a second pair of new belts without having done a mile soon.

My 13 year old mini clubvan passed its mot after the grand sum of 2700 miles going to Tesco, the park and back over the last 12 months to the day.
Best car I’ve ever had for practicality and cost.
Still only on 43k miles.
