Tue 5th March.
It has been snowing, the papier-mache walls of the huts are thin, the fire often goes out at night & many of them now have chest trouble.

Wed. 6th
Operation today.
At about 9.30 am a couple of orderlies attached a set of wheels to my bed & we started off for the operating room via numerous underground tunnels.

The operating hall is magnificent – three rooms arch into each other; thick glass roofs; the walls are white-tiled half way to the ceiling.

Three sisters helped me on to the table, two doctors and a masked and sterilised female rushed in & after a hasty "Morgen" commenced sterilising their hands: then Schw. Gertrude told me to "breathe heavily". Ugh! Nuff sed!
