In 3 weeks time I am really hoping to have turned the corner and…

Still shivering could not type in password to phone for about 5 mins, then requested early pickup from driver to get me to hospital. Consultancy team on standby and straight away they knew I had to be admitted. I had most definitely caught an infection which needed treating, and fast. I was told porb…
