(Jane’s temperature went back up last night: 101 around 10:30 p.m., and the same at about 3:00 a.m. She had blood taken before breakfast — we have no results. A sample of urine was also collected. While Jane was eating a light lunch Lynn came in to start procedures for collecting another urine sample. It would be cultured — for what, we don’t know.

(Then, while she was still eating, two lab technicians came in to take more blood from Jane — this was for a culture that would be grown for a week, they said. They said the doctor had ordered the tests — we thought they meant Jeff Karder.

No sooner did we find that out than one of the two aides returned to take more blood — they “want all they can get,” Jane swore.

Judy came in and told us Jeff hadn’t ordered the antibiotic — his wife, Olivia, who is also a doctor, had.

(3:50. Judy came in to take the urine sample. It’s to be cultured like the last blood sample. Jane finished the session at 3:55. She had a smoke. “Then if nobody comes in, I’ll start the session anyway. I suppose they’ll want to take my temperature and blood pressure all over again, too.”)

(4:12. No sooner had Jane spoken Seth’s greeting than a student nurse came in to take her temperature, at 101.2. “Shit,” Jane said. Dorothy came in to take her blood pressure and pulse. We might as well start over,” Jane said after they’d left by 4:18.)
