V. HOT I woke up at 6:30 after a very restless night to find it the boil on my neck and blown up into a huge lump on my jaw.  It was very painful and so I got Christine to ring the doctor for me to get an appointment. I lay on my bed and listened to Jethro Tull and read my book till 12:30 when Linda and I took the Mitsubishi truck in to Blackall.  We waited for about half an hour before the Herr Doktor saw me. He gave me two shots of local anaesthetic then proceeded to squeeze out about a dessert spoon full of blood and pus. He also gave me a blood sugar test to make sure that the boils weren’t a symptom of diabetes but the test was normal.  Watched a video of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.”
