It is good to see that my neutrophils are recovering well (albeit boosted by the growth hormone) which are important in helping my body heal & fight future germs. My temperature is still stable which means I don't have to spend as much time with a fan trained on me to try to keep me cool - the nurses refer to it as "fan therapy".
I have spent the day in bed resting. At this point we don't know how long it will take for the wound from the drained abscess to heal. To start with, the dressing will be changed daily. I am now sporting a rather fetching pair of surgical stockings. I hope to be out of my gown and back in my usual attire of bright shirts tomorrow.
I have a new neighbour who enjoys singing in the shared bathroom so I can start my own hospital version of "name that tune".....
I have been watching television today. Isabel brought in a lovely homemade dinner which is my first full meal in over a week.
