Peter’s Hospital Diary

Can’t quite believe that 2 weeks have passed since I was released! It is a cold grey morning here in Hampshire – with a dusting of snow on the shed roof. I see the squirrels have attacked the bird feeder and there is a pile of bird seed on the lawn – it won’t be […]

It has been a quiet few days over the weekend. My parents came down to look after me at the weekend while Felicity was away, and a little more work was done on the conservatory footings, but Sunday was really wet down here, so not much progress was made! However yesterday was brighter and the […]

I’m sorry I didn’t get to update this yesterday – we got back from London late afternoon to get several visitors – including my parents who will be looking after me this weekend while Felicity is away. I was also setting up a new broadband router in the evening, which took a bit of time […]

Another quiet day at home! Not really a lot happening at the moment apart from taking my medicine and relaxing! However Felicity and I are off to London in a moment for my next check up at Guy’s tomorrow. I hope that this will soon be a weekly occurrence, with the mid week check ups […]

Bit late posting today – mainly because it has been very quiet! I have felt quite tired – the trip up to London over the last couple of days was more tiring than I expected. I also had some aching legs from the brisk walk to the hospital (only 15 minutes each way too 🙁 […]

Back home again after the check up in London. I’m delighted to report that blood chemistry is slowly getting back to normal – haemoglobin is creeping up (just under 10) and the enzymes that were giving concern about my liver and kidney function are slowly reducing, and the Cyclosporin levels seem to be OK – […]

I woke up this morning (after another lovely night of deep sleep!) to an unusual sound – rain! I dont think it rained at all while I was in hospital, or maybe the double glazing in the room was so efficient that I didn’t ntice! Fortunately it stopped in time for Tom & Mike to […]

Phew its good to be home, although as I woke from a deep sleep this morning, I did wonder where I was – because coming in from outside was the noise of a concrete breaker! Was it a dream? No – it was the ongoing work by Tom & Mike in preparation for the conservatory […]

Fittingly, it is another crystal clear day over St Pauls, but today is the day… 30 days after admission I am on my way out! It was a bit touch and go, because although the ultrasound showed nothing apparently wrong with my liver, there is still a marker showing up in the blood chemistry which […]

It looks a gin clear day outside – not a cloud in the sky, and the sun shining strongly, but it also looks very cold – even the temperature in my room has dropped – to just over 25C! I’m feeling good this morning; we have had the usual start to the day, Obs, bloods […]
