Woke after bad night at 6.

2 1/2 1/6 . Some wheeziness but not urgent.

6 M[orphine] & A[tropine].

Alice [Alice Florey] here very helpful.

Slept heavily 8-11.15.

Woke in great agony from the inflamed leg.

Some dyspnoea.

Eased dressing & took 1/6 . Reluctantly, but I had to be sure of getting quick relief.

Thus "waiting"—all day in bed.
