The best laid plans

I was on the operating table for 4 hours yesterday, but I don't yet know what they did. The stitch-back of the vocal chord didn't work out because everything down there is enormously swollen. They're waiting until Friday to review the situation again. So what did they do for 4 solid hours? I shall have to try to find out today.

I woke up in the recovery room and felt sore but OK for about an hour. Then, all of a sudden and without any warning, I went into a trembling fit. My whole body trembled uncontrollably for about half an hour before medication stopped it. Then I was measured with a 38.4 degree fever. That rose to 39 degrees by midnight but has normalised again this morning.

So it's back to waiting again. I am still losing weight - down to less than 63 kilos now.

Oh well, I'll just have to keep myself occupied and entertained. Nothing else I can do.
