Out of hospital
Dear students,
I might have caught you by surprise when I phoned you telling you I was in hospital and had to stay for a month. In fact the doctors suspected I had a bacterium in my blood which had caused an infection in one of my heart's valves. If that was confirmed I would have to do a treatment with antibiotics for at least four weeks. Thank God but the diagnosis was not confirmed and here I am back home. It turned out that the constant fevers I had were no more than a virosis which they could not figure out. As for the heart's valve it might simply be a congenital malformation which has no cure whatsoever.
So, I am writing to let you know that all right now!!!
Regards
