They know I'm on the road to recovery, they're giving me antibiotics to carry on taking for the next week, I've got follow-up planned with one of the Respiratory Physicians and repeat chest x-ray in 6 weeks. Languishing in a hospital bed for any longer is neither indicated nor likely to support ongoing recovery. Clinically and biochemically I'm already going in the right direction. My bed will now be used by someone more in need.
