Wednesday 9th June 2004
Mr Bem visited me at breakfast. I told him the area
behind my right ear was sore. He inspected it and
said it appeared swollen. He asked one of his doctors
to make an incision at the back of my ear in this
area and drain out any puss that may have collected
there, then put a wick in to remove any further
fluid that collected. This doctor carried out this
procedure later that day. He did not find any puss
but inserted a wick to be sure to drain any which
may build up. I was put on a course of antibiotics
to eradicate and prevent any further infection.
Having a fair bit of pain from the redness on my
chest Mr Bem said it is the nerve endings and these
pains may last several weeks. Peter called to see
me at teatime with Anthony. I called to the social
work office at the hospital and asked for someone
to visit me before I went home to see what help
I could get. I was informed someone would call and
see me before I went home.
