Did I really say: ‘and nothing happened’ yesterday ? I had barely published the blog when my temperature crossed the 38 centigrade ‘thin red line’ on two consecutive tests. That meant mobilising the emergency rescue plan. Another platelet transfusion plus two broad spectrum antibiotics to be administered every 6 hours; Piperacillin - Tazobactam and Gentamycin. They will continue for the next 4-5 days to see if they can head off what ever the problem is. Oh goodie ! Watch this space for more crazy antics in the life of Rodg. It is very humbling to consider how many people are devoting bits of their life to keeping me alive just now. I feel a great weight of responsibility to lead a life that reflects this when I eventually emerge on the other side.
