It is Friday, and it looks like I am not going anywhere as, yet.  They are still waiting for the biopsy results, and do not want me to go home until they get those results.  Also, there is the issue of TB, if I am infection or not, and of course the nodes compressing my jugular vein.

Luckily, the TB nurse came to see me, and did some tests.  She was not wearing a mask when she came in the room, so I asked her if I was infectious or not.  Off the record, she said I was not, but as the results were not in yet, she said I could leave the room if I wore a mask, and once outside, I could take the mask off.  At least, I could go outside over the weekend.  That was a relief.  I will get some of the TB test results after the weekend.

The weekend is going to be long and boring, I am sure.  All the doctors are away, and nothing really happens in the hospital over the weekend.  Shawn brought me the Lord of the Rings box set, the extended version.  That should kill some time!

I need more fresh clothes.  I did not expect to stay here this long!  Suzie has been ever so kind to get me supplies with her Dutchie and the basket.  What would I do without her?  Even the nursing staff has started to comment on the bike baskets we have.  They said: “Is that a tradition to carry a basket in your country?”  No, just our little thing, we said.  They are so practical though, those baskets!
