Thursday… t+26 - Getting my ‘Life’ back

Half a year since the transplant - and a week since I last posted :-( - however it is indicative that I have been busy since I started back at work part time (and the hours are creeping up!)

Seriously, it is good to be back at work - I say work, but really it is an enjoyable past-time for which I get paid - but more importantly, it is an important psychological point on the road to “Getting my Life Back” - and in recognition of that I have started a new category with that title. (Not that makes much difference to how you read the blog - it is just an organisational thing). You may recall that my climbing that rock in Calpe was a similar point (which I posted here) after the previous transplant.

The sharp eyed among you may wonder what happened to the lung function test, which was to have taken place today. I have re-arranged it to coincide with my check up with Linny in the haemotology department next Thursday. As it happens, I had a phone call from the receptionist there, asking why I had missed my appointment today! A quick panic, but on closer investigation, the mistake was with reception, and the appointment is next Thursday! I hope that I will have the PET scan appointment by next week too.

DivingFinally, as the result of a request (Richard), I have posted this photo of me, taken in May 2005, when I went to Ascension Island. For another look at Ascension, there is a webcam here.

So - Onwards and Upwards!
