Back inside again as of two days ago, sudden onset temperature and feeling unwell - the same as at the beginning of the month. They are treating me for septicaemia whilst waiting for the full lab results.
They are also conducting a thorough hunt around for possible causes before assuming the bug is from the bowel. Tomorrow it's an ultrasound of the abdomen looking for gall bladder trouble and an echocardiogram in the next day or so to rule out a possible heart infection - pretty unlikely I think (and hope!) - but important not to miss it. Samples have been taken from all sorts of places but nothing else has shown up so far apart from a bug growing in the bloodstream.
I'm still on the receiving ward which is not the quietest place to be. Nobody else seems to want me! Haematology is full.
