Peter’s Hospital Diary

Hmm – looks like I spoke too soon – just had Guy’s on the phone – I have a potentially nasty viral infection that needs urgent treatment – 5 days in hospital. Will post more when I know more or when I get back!

I didn’t stay up for the US election (not something I had a stake in) but the predicted landslide happened, so we will see what the next few months brings! On the domestic front. tme seems to be flying by at the moment – with quite a lot happening. Socially we had a lovely evening […]

Well it was certainly snowing on the M1 last night as we made our way back from Bletchley Park, home of the wartime code and cypher breakers. A really fascinating and enjoyable day out although it was bitterly cold. We spent the day there, but still lots to see, so we will have to make […]

It has been another busy week – one where I haven’t been at home much! It started on Sunday when I flew up to Manchester with Neil (another LeukaemiaCARE trainer) to stay with Suzanne (another LeukaemiaCARE trainer!) and her husband before we all drove up to Glasgow on Monday morning for Elspeth’s Funeral. The funeral […]

And indeed it is a lovely morning – the sun is streaming in through my study window as I take a quick break from my next piece of coursework. However it has been a few months since I last posted a picture of Olivia – now 21 mionths old! One of the problems is that […]

As I look out of my window this morning, the mist is just gently drifting in the trees at the bottom of the garden! Not sure if there is much mellow fruitfulness left though, as we seem to have had a few deer getting in from the fields behind. It has been a quiet week […]

I can’t believe another week has gone by, however the time has flown by. Felicity went off to Uganda on Friday, and her mother completed her move into her new house on Monday. I went up to St Thomas’s for my next session of ECP on Monday, and also had a check up at the […]

Off for PET scan number 22! (I had to go back over some previous posts to check – and they were interesting – and scary – reading!) Sadly Margaret, the centre manager, was away, but the procedure is pretty routine – injection of the tracer, rest for 90 minutes, then under the scanner. One thing […]

Well I had thought that things would be quite quiet – but far from it! The main focus has been on looking for some gainful employment, and I have had a couple of commissions for some computer stuff. Small beer, but its a start, although at the moment I am really looking for some short […]

Today is the last day of my terminal leave from the Royal Navy. Strange to think that tomorrow I will be a civilian! But is has been great fun, and as one door or chapter closes, another one will open! On the more mundane, I also had another two days of ECP, much faster than […]
