T+18: Sleeping Beauty

I could take photos of Kay sleeping the whole day long, she's so beautiful. And also because she practically slept the whole day. So, not much to report. The only noteworthy thing is that she's been complaining about feeling sick for the last 24 hours. The cause is unclear. It's not so bad that she's prepared to accept drugs to damp the feeling, but neither is it so insignificant that she can step over it. Still, at the moment a minor concern. (However I literally just wrote that and then Kay phoned me to say that she had been sick. So I reckon that this is a symptom of something. Whether its a symptom of something significant remains to be seen).

Tomorrow is the midweek blood count which will give a better idea of the rate at which Kay's system is recovering. In other words a better idea about when she's likely to be able to go home.

A couple of days ago it suddenly occurred to me that the DNA of Kay's blood - ie white cells - will from now on be different from her own DNA. This idea could form quite a cunning twist in a crime novel, don't you think? Somehow a poor innocent donor gets convicted of murdering someone based on the presence of their DNA at the crime scene, whilst the perp. gets away with it. Of course, not that I expect that Kay would murder anyone. But if she did...

  1. Methinks Kay's Daddy should write a novel.

    I hope Kay feels better quickly and this is just a passing thing.

  2. Methinks Diane is right - Daddy is proving to be a superb narrative writer - now add a juicy fictional plot and hey-ho! Best seller guaranteed!

    Also hoping that Kay is soon feeling better again

    Take care xx

  3. Daddy learned a long time ago that when it comes to The Arts he's doomed only to be a spectator. As Linda can attest, Daddy played the guitar for many years, uncommonly averagely (I do so like oxymorons). Then he went to Univesity, met people who really could play the guitar and decided not to embarass himself any further.
