LEAVING CANCELLED!

30 minutes from my agreed pickup time I've just had the doctors tell me they want me to stay for 24hours more, and maybe beyond that.
Last night I had a temperature of 37.6. It was normal this morning (36.8), but just now it was 37.5. My protestations that I have just had a hot shower were ignored. Apparently my EBV virus level (glandular fever to you and me) has risen just slightly. Almost everyone carries it in their body dormant. By itself that wouldn't be enough to keep me in, but with the marginal temperature that's it.

I've taken lots of deep breaths, dried my eyes a bit and tried to not be too argumentative, but I am deeply disappointed, of course. So near, and yet, so far.
