Just a quick update. Mark went in to work today to meet with his deputy and teach a literacy class. He found this quite exhausting but dashed home to meet with the physio who has cast his stick aside and replaced it with a crutch. (he feels this is slightly more racy -he can pretend he has a sporting injury...) During this meeting he became noticeably weary and so the physio offered to take him to his next scheduled appointment at the hospital to have a bone infusion. During this procedure he deteriorated further and so after some tests he was transferred to the acute medical unit. It appears that he has some kind of infection and so has been wired up to various drips and tubes. He is improving and seemed quite comfortable when I left shortly after eight. Dr Sebag Montefiore is in York tomorrow so I think the doctors are hoping that he will come and offer his perspective. Mark was also due to see Dr Toomey tomorrow about his malfunctioning morphine-pump so hopefully that will also happen, although it is doubtful whether they will operate while he is still below par. This is still quite problematic as he is regularly in quite a bit of pain.
Through all this, one of Mark's chief concerns is that he may miss his head teacher's conference and/or his weekend in Glasgow... He is hoping very much for fast resolutions. We will keep you posted.
