Sabine in Gozo

Temporary change of residence

Monday morning the pain finally drove me to hospital. Well, ok, it was hubby who drove me… I had x-rays of my troubled head and neck, and another ton of blood was drawn. Preliminary findings are that all this pain is caused by a muscle rather than the head itself. This is sort of reassuring but the pain is still there and I’m wondering what happens next.

For now I took up residence in bed number 15 in the female ward, but I reckon I’ll be released today. Which is just as well, as there’s this woman somewhere in the depth of this door-less ward that has a knack of screaming “Ejjew ghennuni” (come help me)  all day long, and little is being done to get her to tone it down. My head was throbbing worse than it had been before!

Through the night it was quiet here, though, but I didn’t sleep well. Then some time after 5, just when I seemed to be really fast asleep, a thermometer was shoved under my arm. Before 6 am, “Ejjew” woman  rebooted. The night was officially over… Just now I’m waiting for hubby to bring me a towel. I had been warned I’d need to bring my own soap but nobody mentioned towels!
