38.5. 8 February 2022

 A brain foggy day in which I had every intention of getting some work projects done, but haven’t found the focus. 

Then Fiona came home with a new thermometer and my temperature is 38.5 degrees C. 

Written doctor’s instructions say anything above 38 is cause for concern, so call the hospital oncologist straight away. Done that, waiting for call back. 

I decided to keep the most important medications, as opposed to the ones I use just for fun, in a most important medication place. It’s taken about 24 hours to remember where that location was, but I found it now. Maybe I should stay safe by putting them all together in the same plastic bag and pulling out the one that best fits the side-effect of the day. 

Today’s featured drug of the day: Apo-metoclopramide.

Update: off to RNSH emergency. Blood count and likely antibiotics. Admitted for one night.

Wednesday Update: no infection detected, keeping me in hospital one more night plus giving a precautionary five day course of antibiotics.

Not too bad- great piece of course, but not so keen on their interpretation!

Cheers Gordo, love the piece of course, but not so keen on their singing of it.
