Peter’s Hospital Diary

Just noticed that it is five days since I last posted 🙁 and although I would like to be able claim that it is because I have been too busy responding to my fan mail that would be untrue! That said, I did have a couple of cards from people who had seen Friday’s episode […]

Yesterday’s blog entry attracted record numbers of comments and almost record number of ‘hits’ on the pagees – thank you! Well I had my 5 minutes of fame this morning although I didn’t see the programme live (I was out talking to the work medics about my future employment – looking good!) but I did […]

Good news! The scan showed that while there is still a little bit of activity, the amount is much less than the last scan, showing that the incoming immune system is continuing to fight the good fight! Although I did have a warm feeling about the result, I’m sure that you can imagine how enormously […]

A brief post today as I have to continue laying the thermal insulating boards in the conservatory in preparation for the underfloor heating and the final tiling! I did start it yesterday, but I underestimated the amount of tile adhesive I would need (expensive stuff too – almost as much as the tiles it is […]

Not a lot to report really although it was good to see the team from the PET centre again. The scan itself was much like all the others (with two notable differences) but the ‘exciting’ bit will be the results next Thursday. However I have a warm feeling about that! But I said that there […]

Whew – busy week, so sorry I haven’t posted here for a few days. It all started on Monday when Felicity had a call to go to her parents, which she did that day, leaving me as nominal Commander-in-Chief – Home Command responsible for middle and youngest daughter! Not too much of a problem for […]

And what an miserable Monday it is too – cold and overcast! However I am feeling much better again today. Although I wasn’t feeling so good on Saturday, it is amazing what a good sleep will do and I had a very long and self indulgent sleep-in on Sunday morning, giving me over 10 hours […]

I had meant to write this up yesterday, but it has been such lovely weather that I have been away from the computer – and I was out for a lot of the day! In fact it has been a busy couple of days. After I got back from Wednesday’s consultation with Linny, and the […]

Check up day again – well, a day earlier than normal as Linny is off to a conference tomorrow, so the clinic was held a day early in the day unit at Guy’s. It was good going back there, although one of the nurses (Rachel) remarked that she didn’t recognise me for a moment as […]

Well after writing the blog up on Friday, I ended up going out for a pub lunch again! The steak and ale pie, washed down with a pint of bitter and, as it was someone’s birthday, a glass of champagne, was very enjoyable! So there are definite signs that my sense of taste might be […]
