Tuesday, 22nd November
I had a troublesome night, Ben was
talking in his sleep, I kept thinking he was calling for me, so in
the end I made up a bed in his room.
This morning he is free of fever,
the swelling has gone down, he still feels a bit sore when
swallowing.
We went for a walk, we met Stine
and Django. I had to stop Ben from touching Django, I was afraid his
compromised immune system could pick something up.
He ate a good lunch and rested
while the IV went through. He has been fever free all day.
I was on the internet today for
some time, catching up on professional news and articles. Of course I
was looking at vacancies. There was nothing that interested me or was
in the right location. Being at home the last few days with Ben has
made me realise how much I miss work. Again, I do not have much to
do, and I notice my mood is not the best.
Wednesday, 23rd
November
Ben is feeling much better today,
and he made me go to the gym. I had a long session with sauna after
wards. I met an ex-colleague, who was so glad to meet me, he needed
to speak to me. He had promised to give a talk at Stockholm South
University to students about our field, and got his dates mixed up.
He wanted to know if I can give the talk. I jumped at it. He has
emailed me the details, it is next Wednesday.
On the way home I stopped at the
flat. Knowing what happened here, it felt even more “clinical”.
We are so settled at the house, I am not very interested in living
here this winter.
I stopped by to see P/L, I told
them what we had found out about the Germans. They wanted to see the
footage, I have emailed it to them. Per told me off for not telling
him Ben was ill, they would have helped with his care!
I had lost track of time, suddenly
it was getting dark and Ben phoned me to check if he could do the IV
himself, or did he have to wait for me? I told him to wait for me, I
was on my way. One really needs two hands to do it. There is always a
small risk air can get into the tube whilst fixing it, and that can
be fatal. The IV takes about 45 minutes to go through.
He had been baking. I went to check
my email, my colleague had promised to send the information when he
got into work earlier.
I told the boy about it, he was
very encouraging
He said he always found it
infectious when I talked about work, I was so enthusiastic.
