As I was saying

Well, that's me back in hospital again with a little infection. I've been in since Saturday night, but this is the first time I've had internet access to write about it; the room they admitted me to had no 3g reception whatsoever, so they eventually moved me back to my original room here at the Beatson. To be honest, I quite liked the bigger room they had me in; the lack of internet was a bit of a pain, but I quite think I'd have survived for a couple more days.

As for what I'm actually in for, they're not quite sure about that. Currently they're treating me with wide-spectrum antibiotics and an antiviral called foscarnet for a virus called CMV; once tests start coming back, they can be more specific in their treatment. Hopefully it'll turn out to be something that responds to the stuff they already have me on, because then I should be out within about three days. If not, it could be a week or more.

Anyway, I'm mostly passing the time in here by sleeping it away, so I think I'll get back to doing that now. Good night.
