Day after


The day after the treatment Jan Arne has been mainly feeling like crap.

I went to the hospital in the morning and he had been awake most of the night, some fever, some nausea, just uncomfortable (well, hospital bed too of course). He considered for a while that there's no way he can travel all the way back to Tampere, and maybe he should stay at the patient hotel which is situated in the same building. But he started to feel a bit better after taking a shower so we left for Tampere by train.

Before we left the nurse brought in the blood test results from the morning and she was satisfied with them, changes compared to Tuesday morning as was to be expected: platelets down, crp (infection marker) up etc. He will have to go to a blood test in Tampere on Monday to check how the values are, Docrates then wants the values to be sent to them by fax.

The taxi drive to the train station in Helsinki was quite an ordeal as there was some heavy snow fall on Tuesday evening and the city was in a bit of a chaos still and roads were really bumpy. Not nice to a guy who is nauseous and generally feeling uncomfortable. :(

The rest of the day he has been sleeping or trying to sleep, no fever really but no appetite either. Let's hope tomorrow will be a better day.
