Peter’s Hospital Diary

Well it is certainly sunny down here,although there is that autumnal chill in the air! I have been at home most of the week, although quite busy with one thing and another. The insurance claim from the accident three weeks ago is still rumbling on, and theere have been one or two other projects to […]

Friday was quite quiet, but we went out as a family to a local restaurant to celebrate Rachael’s birthday. Somewhere we haven’t been before. but if anyone is interested, try The Hurdles – it was very good! The younger members of the group went into Southampton afterwards while we went home! Saturday was quiet, but […]

Hot on the heels of Vicki’s Birthday last Sunday, youngest daughter, Rachael, celebrated her 18th Birthday yesterday! However before that I was up in London for another two days of ECP. A slight change in procedure on the second day because as my weight is creeping up (10st 4lb) I have a greater blood volume, […]

It has been another busy week, with time ticking down until I leave my current job. However the years rolled back last week-end as we went up for the birthday party of one of my University friends, Tom, shown here on the left. In fact there were four of us that shared halls of Residence, […]

A quick update on the week, most of which was spent up at St Thomas’s, having the next course of ECP. However the monotony was broken as Felicity and Rachael came up for the afternoon and we went out for a pizza in the evening – with my ‘Joe Cool’ 🙂 sunglasses on, which made […]

In fact it was quite warm and sunny today, unlike most of the week which has been mixed! However I have been at home, preparing CVs and the like, and arranging car repairs after someone collided with the rear of my car. As it is still in the hands of the Insurance Companies, I’ll say […]

There are some significant changes in my life happening soon, including a job change, but as part of the completion of my current occupation, I needed a medical examination! Actually a formal review of my medical history over the last few years. However, while I was doing that, I applied to retake my diving medical […]

Well I might not have needed the chicken pox immunoglobilin, but there is a chance I might have got something else from the day unit – a respiratory infection! Over the weekend I developed a runny nose and a sore throat – bit like the one I developed at Christmas and the New Year. So […]

Our friend Marian came round for dinner last night so I was a tad tired when I set off for London this morning for my Immunoglobulin to mitigate the risk of catching chicken pox. However I arrived at the day unit only to be told that I wasn’t on the list! It appears that by […]

Where did it go? I have been on holiday since last Friday, with the intention of knuckling down and finishing the last piece of coursework for this module – with some success – its about 75% done, but in going back over it, I found a few additional things to put in, so that was […]
