Running fever all day. Feeling mostly OK though. Nurse came today, and dressing still greenish looking. Hole is now about half the size of a dime, but the green exudate is a worry. We don't want it to close while it's obviously got bacteria/infection. (sigh)
Had Rod drop me off at shopping centre on his way to the dentist. Did lots of window shopping, put in prescriptions, got hair cut, and met up with Rod at grocery store an hour and a half later. Had KFC for tea.

Extremely high reading this morning. Rod suggested maybe I had something to eat in my sleep overnight. Was really scary.
Rod had school this morning and was late because we had a flat tyre on the car, then he tried to get the bike going and it wouldn't start so he had to change the tyre.
Didn't take walk as was feeling off and didn't want to find myself stuck without a way home. Went to bed after 2nd reading this morning. Got up around 11 or so, reading better, but still high. Had lunch, readings better but definitely not normal. Was running a fever. Normal is 36.4c for me, and temps were in the 37.4 range. Day before was in the 38.1 range. Felt off all day. A bit more active in the afternoon. Videotaped a blue-tongued skink on the patio. Chatted with Chris and Terry online.
Hospital called about elective surgery. I'm at top of list again. She mentioned I had an appt in a couple of weeks with PTR team (they're the ones who were/are supervising my wound). This was news to me, so she gave me the date and time. 26 Feb 2pm.
Had chat with client today about his website. Unfortunately haven't got back to working on it at all today. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day.

PHEW. Busy day. Rods first full day back at TAFE so I had house to myself all day. I installed a set of speakers on his computer, and the back and seat massager on his chair, since it arrived in the mail today. I wouldn't touch his desk without cleaning it first, so that got done as well. Since it's only a day before Valentines, I put his card on his chair. The speakers were so he wouldn't have to go crawling under his desk to plug them in... he does a lot of this stuff for me, I thought it'd be a nice surprise to turn the tables. Then I did all the cleaning jobs I hate doing with other people around. Felt good, and he came home just before I finished and helped with the last bit (not knowing about his new massager... I had forbidden him from going in the office, telling him the floor needed to dry. As I'd tested the massager and found it hard to leave it (OMG, it felt SO good), I figured I'd make sure he'd done all the things he needed to and that he had his coffee and then he could sit and enjoy his massage while reading mail. The plan worked, but funnily enough he didn't notice the massager on his chair - it's black and blends in and fits it perfectly. The first thing he noticed was his desk was clean!
As I sit behind him, and he's using the massager, I can feel the vibrations in MY chair, so it's like a 2 for 1. We only paid $20 for it and it has 5 types of massage and you can set different areas where it works - plus has lumbar heat. It's a lot like those fancy recliner chairs that have built in massage, but this is a pad that goes over a chair. Much cheaper, and in this case, VERY well worth it.
My first two readings were high today. And I had the same breakfast as usual, plus I'd walked to the shops and back for my scratchy. But after that it improved as I really did stay quite busy from about 11:30am till at least 4:30. Tonight if I can stay awake, I'll be woking on client work. I was running a fever this morning, which is likely the cause of the high readings. Sure wish that would just quit it.
