    Well yesterday was a bit of rough, and utterly pointless day, in hospital but they let me out at 9pm to come home so I could get a good nights sleep before my exam even though I had a load of medication to come home and do once I got back. Still I slept well and made my way to the exam, still a bit worried I was going to be stuck in a little room with loads of other people but as soon as I explained it to the envigilators…

    Well after having to show the nurse I could do my ganciclovir again last night I was finally discharged. I left the hospital with a lot of pills, gloves, syringes and medicines but at least I'm out.

I'm not sleeping so well at the minute, I suppose…

So hopefully in a couple of days I'll be out of isolation and allowed out for a few hours a day. I could definately use some fresh air. So I'm over the moon really, everythings looking great. I've got…

    Well the last 4-5 days have been a bit rough, my throat got so sore I had to get on the morphine which really helped with the pain, still being hooked up to the drip literally 24/7 is a pain in the ass. Plus the stuff made me wretch quite a lot to start with which, considering I wasn't eating anything was uncomfortable. Still it was a bit of a relief for the Doctor's to come round and say "This is the worst of it now…
