The first day of hospitalization.
It was a busy day, with a fever and additional tests.
If the fever does not go down, it seems the scheduled surgery may also be delayed.
As I write this, the fever has subsided, and I am finally spending a quiet moment.
Perhaps my body was under more strain than I realized,
facing so many unfamiliar things all at once.
All this time, it may have been quietly doing its best,
working hard without me even noticing.
