… relapse today.<\/p>\n
And I was doing so well too.<\/p>\n
This afternoon I started to shiver and it seemed as if someone was standing on my chest and I can hardly breathe. It’s no use trying to cough either because I can’t without hurting myself.<\/p>\n
The nurse checked my temperature and blood pressure and she decided that I have a fever with a temperature of over 38\u00b0C, a far cry from a few hours ago when it was 36.2\u00b0C<\/p>\n
Last night I slept all the way through from about 00:20 until the alarm went off at 06:30.. And there’s stuff on the dictaphone from last night too. I can’t remember much about it except that there was something about being in hospital and a kitten, and I can’t remember whether I had to get better first before I could stroke the kitten or whether I had to stroke the kitten before I could get better. I know that when the alarm went off at 06:30 this morning I was looking for a kitten rather than the telephone to switch it off so I dunno<\/p>\n
After I’d washed and changed I sat in the chair where I fell asleep several times, usually to be awoken by a doctor who wanted to examine me. And they seem to have taken seriously the problem of my knee. No fewer than two doctors plan to give it a full examination.<\/p>\n
There were other doctors too who examined other bits and pieces of me too. It looks as if things are moving rapidly, but this was before the relapse.<\/p>\n
Alison came in the middle of everything and was unlucky to catch me in a right state. She’s bought me some vegan chocolate which was really nice,<\/p>\n
After she went they took a blood sample and later on in the evening another cute female houseman came to see me and examined me.<\/p>\n
So now I’m off to bed, unless the houseman comes back again. And I’ll see how I feel tomorrow. I can’t feel much worse than I do right now.<\/p>\n
