22nd March - Patch of clean air

Got my fix of oral morphine last night and slept like a log. Threw a wobbler at the staff around 6am as my temperature made the magic 38C, it went as high as 38.1C. Just gave me some penicillin. I have a CT scan on my chest booked for latter today, but the general consensus of opinion is that it will come back clear. The general feeling is that the cause is the tooth. Pity we did not keep a record of high temps and problem with the tooth, any way have been to the dental people here (called Max Factor) and they x rayed and recommended removal. My consultant agrees, but only when he says so as all cells are below the line and the white cells are showing signs of increasing. So it is a matter of bearin with it until my body is up to having a tooth removed. At least in hospital it comes free as part of my treatment.

Still have3 problems with the throat and gums in relation to eating and drinking, but I think they may be getting better.

  1. Not sure about a cosmetic manufacturer pulling your gnasher out. I should ask to see some evidence of competence. Thought you should know, your evil sister in law Sally is spreading rumours on facebook about you chasing the nurses around. I have a Benny Hill type scenario in my head. You didn't mention that in your blog - what else are you keeping back? Love Caroline and Paul x

  2. Hair....tooth....I see a pattern emerging; be very careful what you complain about or they will remove the offending part.

  3. Hi John
    Been in Lanzarote for 2 weeks, so have only just caught up with your adventures. All sounds a bit scary, but I suppose at least it's what you were expecting and things seem to be going in the right direction. We'll be keeping an eye on you....
    Love
    Susan and Colin
