Peter’s Hospital Diary

Time has flown by, at the end of August already. Nothing much to report on the health front, all seems to be ticking along OK, with my next haematology check up in September. Much of my time has been taken up with my MSc dissertation, and helping out fellow blogmaster Mark with his new venture […]

Yes, still here, but a lot going on at the moment! However I had one of my infrequent check ups last week, at the eye department at St Thomas’s. All seem to be OK, and there seems to have been an improvement in the dryness of my eyes, although they have not recovered sufficiently to […]

I mentioned in the last blog that I had an appointment with the dermatologists to see how I am getting on without the regular ECP. I suppose really it was a progress report, and as my mobility is much better (and hasn’t got worse) and skin is fine, the overall opinion is that I am […]

Just realised (to my shame) that I haven’t posted here for a while, perhaps indicative that health things are going well! And they seem to be. I have had a number of minor checks to do with the symptoms of GvHd and the consensus seems to be that I am reaching an equilibrium with the […]

It has been a long gap since my last post, mainly because there has been a lot going on! I started my contract in March but for two weeks I stayed in a holiday cottage not far from where I was working. It was set in lovely surroundings and I was fortunate enough to be […]

It has been a while since I last updated the blog – a busy couple of weeks, although this week I find myself back in Lausanne visiting friends again. All is quiet on the health front – my next check-up is at the opthalmic clinic next week, but life has been far from quiet! In […]

No, not the sort that you eat with Nachos, but another major milestone in “getting my life back” – my first open water dive for over five years! The dive was proposed last week at a sheltered site close to Portsmouth Harbour, and I spent some time getting my kit ready last night. It has […]

Yesterday saw me returning to Guy’s for my check up at Guys. It is 5 years sin ce the donor transplant, and the protocol dictates that I should have a bone marrow biopsy, and on Tuesday I received a phone call saying that one had been booked for me in the Haematology Day Centre. So […]

It is about time I wrote a longer blog, and I did promise some photos from my trip to Lausanne. I did wonder if I was going to be able to go at one point – two days before departure I walked into the living room at home, and noticed a damp carpet. Closer inspection […]
