Warded in TTSH: Day 22

Suffered another bout of chill last night at 10:00pm with the shivering and trembling subsiding at about 10:45pm. Thereafter, temperature was back to normal with panadol but I was perspiring profusely and the pillow and bed were drenched. When the Consultant came around this morning and when I told him about the chill, he said that definitely have to stay as indicative of some form of infection. The blood culture result should be out by this Friday which means that I will probably stay in the hospital till then. Hopefully when the result is out on Friday, it is nothing serious requiring only oral antibiotic and I can be on the way home.

The oozing from the catheter opening had stopped and that means that the bile is draining into the intestine (hopefully) and the liver will have the chance to recover and I can start on my Chemotherapy soon. My Oncologist asked me to call the clinic in 2 to 3 time to arrange for a blood test to ascertain my suitability to proceed with chemotherapy. My radiotherapy is definitely postponed till next week pending my 'recovery' from fever/infection.

My Pastor and another church staff came today and I was served communion. So appreciative of the gesture and allowing me that commune with God.

Everything is moving forward well and on the home front, Nathan is starting to get use to his Childcare Centre and crying less. He was also accepted into Nursery for next year.

Thank and praise God.
