A few random thoughts

I woke up this morning intent on playing tennis. I was a little slow off the mark, but made it in time to play one set. (The limit set by the research manager) I wisely chose the best player to play with and managed to win the set 6-1. I actually managed to hit the ball a few times successfully.

I had tried to play yesterday also, but got there too late because Benita broke her wrist during the first set and had to be driven to the hospital. Makes me want to be careful moving on the court.

I note that IBB (The biotech index) was up $1.94 yesterday. This was obviously in the knowledge of my needs. In the last 24 hours, I have added Lamisil and Imodium - AD to my list of medications.

I am getting bonus research from outside sources. This will no doubt be integrated by the research manager into even more diet suggestions. Yet, half the time I don't have a very big appetite.

I am thinking of checking back into the hospital. This afternoon, I felt warm and asked the research manager to check my temperature. She held her wrist to my forehead and said that I did not have a temperature.

She then fished out a rectal thermometer which was not going to happen. I thought that was the end of it.

When I came out to pick up my grilled cheese sandwich, I was told that my temperature would have to be checked first, this time with an oral thermometer. The annoyance was put under my tongue and I was told to hold it there for 3 minutes! After two minutes, the research manager decided that she should have shaken it first, did so, and plunged it back under my tongue for another three minutes. No temperature! I would have accepted the "wrist" ometer reading.

At the hospital, all they have to do is swipe a device over your forehead and tell you the result. There may be other drawbacks at the hospital, but temperature taking is not one of them.

Another tired, not so hungry day, but I am feeling ok this evening.
