Day 9 – Thursday

Lousy night mostly spent moaning and groaning, tossing and turning, mouth dry and sore. Feels like there's a flap of grot in there that drinks just can't knock away.

Hooked up to first antibiotics by 6am. Feel utterly washed out, not sure I will manage a shower today unless H helps me when he comes after lunch. Managing to get some flavoured water down and keep it down despite the gurgling.

Day turned in to a terrible one. Temperature spiked over 40 degrees.

Body rash now very angry. Constant watch by nurses, cold compresses, fan and only a sheet to cover as freezing.

All visitors cancelled unfortunately until feeling better.

Feel free to contact Hawksey, as he is now posting this as S can no longer manage lap top.
