Peter’s Hospital Diary

Felicity arrived home yesterday after what was a busy week! I have to say that she looked tired when I picked her up at the station, but she was certainly on a high after the week! I dropped her off at home to let her sort herself out (bath etc) while I went out for […]

And here we are at the start of the bank Holiday weekend. It has been a lovely sunny week too, but true to form I see that the weather is due to break during the next couple of days! Overall, it has been a pretty uneventful week! On Wednesday evening I was going to the […]

Half way through the week, and neither Rachael nor I have starved, although part of that is thanks to friend Marian, who invited us round for dinner last night and also Felicity who left a mountain of food in the fridge and freezer! I think her job at the Chelsea Flower Show is going well, […]

And indeed it is a lovely day here. I was up early this morning to take Rachael to work (Felicity is now in London, so we are ‘home alone’) and it was (and is) a lovely morning – improved by the consumption of the inevitable bacon sarnie! However the highlight of the weekend was a […]

Well, just Guy’s really… yes it was check-up time again and so it was off on the silly o’clock special to London Bridge. This time with Felicity who was going off to Chelsea for an induction day for a job at the Chelsea Flower Show! Maybe the garden will be looking good in a couple […]

I fear I may have given a bad impression of my upgrade experiences! Actually the problems were mainly caused by the fact that I was upgrading by installing on top of an existing installation (something not recommended by the Fedora Project) but that was so that I preserved all the original settings for the web […]

It really is a soggy day here in Hampshire this morning, chucking it down with rain. I have been continuing the final stages of the computer update, with some new applications . Firstly apologies to all who tried to look at the blog last night – I had been adding a new music application to […]

It has been a while since I did a countup from the transplant, but it really is 68 weeks since I received my donor stem cells, and of course 16 weeks since I was in Southampton recovering from the effects of the radio and chemo therapy! I am certainly feeling a lot better than I […]

The main server upgrade (phase1) has started – the blog is closed for comments at the moment and some facilities may not be available. OK – first bit done – improvements to cooling and the backup hard-drive installed – now starting to backup the system! Well, I got one working backup and the system has […]

Check up time again, so it was off to Guy’s this morning, arriving bright and early just as the clinic was opening. In fact I was number 3 for the blood queue, and then it was a wait to be seen. In fact the examination was quite quick – confirmation that the sore mouth (which […]
