Peter’s Hospital Diary

It was two years ago this week (it was Saturday 7th January 2006) that I was admitted to Guy’s for the donor transplant! Hard to believe, but good to be still alive and kicking. That also means that it is the blog’s second anniversary too – the first post was made on Sunday the 8th […]

Monday morning and I found my way back to work, down the snail trail that is otherwise known as the M27. A bit of a shock at the early start, but it was a mild morning so it wasn’t too bad. However the best news is that I had a text from Simon, sent late […]

And that is the Christmas season all but over – the tree removed, the decorations put away for another year, and the blog ‘Christmas’ theme switched off! And back to work tomorrow! But it was a good break, although the cold/’flu that seems to have done the rounds has left me with lots of aches, […]

And a big thank you to all of you that have supported us during the last twelve months, through posts on blog, visits, phone calls etc. It really made a difference, especially during the very difficult moments of last January and February. 2008 promises to bring new challenges – hopefully not on the medical front, […]

Well that was Christmas – the turkey (remains of) is looking very forlorn, and the last set of visitors have departed!

Happy Christmas everyone! Onwards and Upwards!

… and all through the house, everything’s manic, no peace for a mouse!” And I expect that is a familiar tale pretty much everywhere! I finished work on Friday, although it was a token effort and we packed up at mid-day. In fact it felt as if the Christmas break had started as the drive […]

One bit of news to report! Following on from Simon’s post on Tuesday, I spoke to him today. He is in fine form, having just completed the second cycle of chemo, however the inevitable side effects are kicking in. He mentioned the hair loss (and he has promised a photo for the blog!) but he […]

Time to get festive with the Christmas theme! It was a very cold and frosty weekend – however the fire made everything quite toasty! Felicity was working so I was ‘in charge’ (well, nominally!) while my parents were visiting. But we had a good weekend, with Vicki bringing Olivia round and we decorated the Christmas […]

A busy week all round really. Felicity has been doing some more contract eventing work, which means she has been coming home in the small hours of the morning, and on Wednesday I had to go to Plymouth for some meetings. While the meetings were reasonably useful, the real pleasure was getting out and about […]
