Phil stayed in the hospital during the night. In the morning they took his blood again for further examinations. They took his blood pressure different times but it was waiting for the results for a long time... At lunch time I went to the hospital to visit mon amour :-) We played some cards, took some pictures...
At 3pm the doctor came with some news. The blood tests showed that his adrenal glands (the glands that are located on the kidneys) don''t work well. They don't produce enough cortisol and adrenaline. Therefore he is loosing too much salt in his urine and is he feeling weak and tired all the time.... His Thyroid is functioning normal at the moment. So from now on he has to take 4 pills a day with different doses of adrenaline. Two in the morning, one at lunch and and one at dinner but not later than 6pm otherwise he has too much adrenaline during the night and he won't be able to sleep. The illness is called Addison's disease. Osama Bin Laden and John F Kennedy had this too. He also has to wear a medical ID bracelet that indicates that he has ADDISON in the case sth happens. THey told him that he could leave the hospital! They gave him his medicines and a first pill of adrenaline. I can tell you... it worked! He has too much energy now! Jumping in the room, not tired at all... He is back the old one :-)
Today I received my confirmation document back from my second supervisor. He read the document for the first time and gave some good remarks mainly about the english grammar and spelling. When I was making the corrections I realised how stupid I was some times:
"the equitation" instead of "equation". Apparently, equitation has to do sth with horse riding :-)
"the study was innovatory" instead of "innovative" :-) The document (59pages) is sent for printing! Tomorrow I will bind the 6 versions!!!
Voila, c'est tout!
Regards,
Jessie
