Peter’s Hospital Diary

It seemed a long way to go for a 20 minute consultation, but then its always a pleasure to see Linny! Progress seems to be continuing, and the creatinin level from my last visit was 123, still slightly above the upper ‘normal’ limit, but much lower than it has been! The next check up is […]

I have just realised that it has been a week since I last posted which I think is probably the longest interval since I started the blog back in early January, leading me to wonder how much longer the blog will serve any useful purpose! However, it has been a busy week with lots of […]

A brief post this morning, really to draw your attention to a new blog – Elspeth’s Blog, which you can access from the links under the blog roll. I won’t say to much here as Elspeth’s blog will speak for itself, but many of you will know that Elspeth has commented on my blog and […]

Seems a while since Iast posted, although I see Thursday’s post generated a relatively large number of comments! It was a busy weekend – we went down to Cornwall for a family wedding (on Felicity’s side of the family). The wedding itself was held in the tiny village of St Winnow, near Lostwithiel, and by […]

Twenty-one today! (21 weeks since the transplant that is…) I can’t quite believe it – it seems such a long time ago! My skin is still itchy – and bizarrely my forearms are really red and blotchy – not all the time, but occasionally – it looks like exzema, but I think it is caused […]

And what a glorious weekend it was! It looked a bit overcast this morning, but the sun is now shining as strongly as ever! This week sees middle daughter’s birthday, so for her birthday we went and had a picnic at Goodwood races on Saturday. It was another glorious day – very hot, so it […]

And it was off to London, bright and early, for my fortnightly consultation with Linny. I also saw Florence – who you will remember is one of the Haematology specialist nurses and who gave me lots of encouragement when I was feeling a bit despondent after the 23 March PET scan. (The first one after […]

It did look a little overcast this morning, but that has burnt off and it is another lovely summer day here. I have been out watering the garden this morning, especially the veg patch (only a few beans and some onions) but I have yet to catch whatever is eating the tops of some of […]

I was going to write this last night, but after two glorious days, the skies clouded over and we heard the rumble of thunder – however this morning the sun is shining again and I am writing this sitting out in the garden…and if you look carefully you can see a pair of colourful shorts […]

Looking at that t+133, I think I might start counting in weeks – so today is t+19. And a lovely sunny day it is here too – which is just as well as we have taken advantage of youngest daughter’s absence in France to make a foray into her bedroom. An interesting voyage of discovery […]
