Peter’s Hospital Diary

Not a lot to report since the visit to Guy’s, although it did take a day or so to recover from the brisk exercise walking round the shops in London! However we did get a visit from Vicki and Olivia yesterday afternoon – and as Olivia was looking particularly cute, I had to get the […]

Well not strictly true because on my arrival at the haematology department I was met by the receptionist, Jenny, and then ushered in for the ritual blood letting that makes the highlight of the day! After that bit of routine stuff, I was then seen by Rachel, my tame dietician, who wasn’t as fierce as […]

It has been a busy week down here, a bit of self feeding and looking after Rachael on the days when she wasn’t out and obout or away. My parents came down for a visit on Friday and left yesterday afternoon, and Felicity came back last night from a busy week at the Henley Regatta. […]

Felicity has gone off to another event – the Henley Regatta, although it is debateable whether there will be more water falling on the Thames than is in it, judging by another downpour we had here this morning. In fact I have now taken the bourgainvillea back indoors after I found it standing in a […]

Up in Worcester where I spent the last two days on another step on “getting my life back” by taking part again the LeukaemiaCARE training programme. I was a bit worried about the lecturing and teaching because of my mouth and the effect that talking for so much would have on it, and more importantly, […]

However, although we did have some torrential rain over the weekend (and a couple of short duration powercuts on Friday (one long enough to cause the web server to shut down)) we don’t seem to have had the problems that have beset West and South Yorkshire. At least the sun is shining this morning, but […]

Another week nearly gone, and I have survived being home alone! It actually ends on Saturday, but I am over halfway! Sadly I haven’t been able to survive on a diet of bacon sarnies – my mouth seems to have been worse this week, and eating has not been a pleasure! Breakfast has been limited […]

I think you get the picture, and it has been like that most of the weekend! However it was a good one – out for lunch on Saturday with Mark, (fellow blogmaster), Gabor (podcaster) and Mike (the fourth member of the gang) for Mike’s Birthday. I have discovered that as long as I drink beer […]

It was another trip up to Guy’s yesterday for the routine check-up, and it was just that – routine! Not quite as much blood taken as normal (only half an armful) and nothing unexpected in the results. Haemoglobin hovering around 11.5, creatanine still slightly up, but not much different from last time, similarly with liver […]

Not much to report on domestically – we did some work in the garden on Saturday and Sunday morning (I say we – mine was very light work! 0 and enjoyed it on Sunday afternoon when the sun shone! Olivia came over on Saturday (with Vicki!) but she was a bit tired and fractious so […]
