Day Six

Well it was pretty cold this morning.... -3 in the woods round the corner from our house ... too cold even for the wild horses that are usually to be seen ... waiting to be fed.





Pretty cold too in the garden at home....

So it wasn't too much of a surprise that when I got to the Marsden that Jules was tucked up in bed...... because it was too cold she said.....

Anyway she is gradually feeling bettter and the nausea and sickness have subsided consiserably ... she even spent a few minutes on an exercise bike .... and we played a few games of scrabble and draughts in the patients sitting room.... for a change of scene.

The nurses are still concerned about the risk of infection, and they are sure that she will develop mouth ulcers over the next couple of days as they checked her mouth and can see them coming.... and so they've already started with the preventative stuff .... I know that Jules real worry was a return of something like the chest infection she had in Nimes ..... and so I guess; if this is as bad as it gets ..... then its manageable.... and she'll cope.... Im sure!

.... and if she gets really bored they have topical fish in the patients sitting room .... quite unusual I thought.... but relaxing too ......

Its Saturday.... raise a glass to Jules health everyone!
