“The doctor said the recovery would not be linear. This is a non-linear day.” The fever is not bad today, but the patient is beat up and exhausted by 12:30. The “they” don’t have the heart to bully her at the moment. She is miserable. Hopefully with a good sleep she will fill better this evening. Her mom says she felt well enough this morning to try to get her hair washed, and that completely wiped her out.
