Is Hickman a Mole?

Still suffering occasional spikes in temperature, and they won't let me go home (quite reasonably) until they've either found the cause or the spikes have settled down of their own accord.  A frustrating time.

Hickman?
Tests continue, and results of previous tests continue to come in, but none has definitely fingered the culprit.  Latest suspicion falls on the Hickman Line, for no other reason that it has been found in other cases to be the source of these Mystery Infections.

So if the spikes continue and no other villain is identified, the Hickman Line will be removed tomorrow afternoon.  I am assured this is a painless operation.  For me, at any rate.  Perhaps less so for Hickman.  But he's done a sterling job so far, and would be due for removal shortly anyway, as my need for IV infusions continues to dwindle.

Meanwhile, I'm still managing to eat and drink enough, and sleep plenty, which must be restorative.

  1. Well,weller, wellest, me old hedgehog! Sorry to have kept such a Stony Silence -been enlisting Burrowsphiles in Hawai'i and San Fran on school geology trip (c'mon, there's got to be some perks after 30 years @ the chalk face!)However, have been amongst the hoards with emotional rope burns over the past few weeks and not sending vibes to you and J as much as globules of positivity, pink for lurv, blue for calm and serenity, purple for hugs, yellow for the sun on your face and green for mucus. Bugger! P'raps that's causing your spikes. Sorry, I'll cut the green. S XXXX
