So I'm possibly a rare atheist who's read the whole of the Quran and found it interesting.
And I loved all of that side of it.
And then very sadly, between my second and my third year, I became extremely ill and had to have a lifesaving operation.
I have a terrible disconnect, I think, between my brain and my body.
I sort of pay very little scant attention to my body.
And I had lost an enormous amount of weight and had gone down to five and a half stone.
I don't know what that is in real life.
Cartoon-like thin, but with quite a large belly.
And my English grandmother, who was mostly not a terribly nice person, said to me, are you pregnant?
And I said, no, Granny, then I think you're ill.
And I went to the doctors, and indeed I was extremely unwell and had an operation.
And so I was advised not to go back for my third year, but... I have to ask, what was wrong?
