Wednesday 8 May 1917 [1918]
Awoke 4.30 a.m. & oh so good to have had a long sleep & no pain. Ward companions 4 in number talk without ceasing of course but as no "head" - not so annoying. Mist sodii sulph., 2 cc. as usual (B.D.), toast & custard allowed. M.O. very carefully refrains from any reference to yesterday's dose but says T. 98.4 & mind I keep it so, etc. Head better ? pain ? etc. & goes quietly away & I sleep most of day. One hears such funny little bits of talk behind this screen. One furious at being pushed out & "he spoke as though I were shamming". All are quite well as far as I can see. A new expression, "Were you out here in the very early days?" serves to remind all present that we are with "R.I.P." people as the "Bully" has it.
