Vanessa's Journal
Week commencing October 19
By the Monday morning, I was feeling terrible, I had a fever and was all bunged
up. I stayed like that for most of the week. Jon was very good, he came home
each lunch time to check on me and to try to get me to eat something. When I
hadn't improved by the Thursday Jon arranged for the Doctor to come and see me.
I think that the Doctor was a little surprised when pulled the quilt back to
listen to my chest. The quilt is quite light and when the Doctor pulled it, it
came right off me leaving him looking at my naked body. He seemed a little
surprised but didn't say anything. The doctor gave me a prescription for some
pills that Jon went and got for me when he got home that evening. They started
to work on me, and by the Friday evening I was well enough to go down stairs and
watch television - with a blanket wrapped round me.
Saturday October 24
Didn't get much further than the television all day.
Sunday October 25
Started eating properly, but still very weak. Jon's been great this past week,
don't know what I would have done without him.
