On The Physical

Had an odd experience yesterday. I came back in the evening after a stint at the gym and suffered a severe case of the shivers when I popped into our bedroom to change. The air-conditioning was on and the room was fairly cold, but not enough to provoke my rather extreme reaction. For the next few minutes I felt hyper-sensitive to the fans in the apartment and any feeling of coldness such that I was worried about slipping into a severe fever, but that didn't happen, I'm glad to say. I slept fitfully and sweatily, but I did sleep.

Then today I spent three hours at the National University Hospital undergoing a scan on my liver and blood tests related to that organ. This is part of the follow-up to when I found myself in ICU. My liver wasn't in too good a way at that time but seems to have made something close to a full recovery since and I'm hoping the test results support that observation. The great thing is that at this point in time I am entirely unmedicated, and I'd like to stay that way for as long as possible.
