Peter’s Hospital Diary

First of all, my apologies for the delay in posting – don’t worry, I am OK, we have had a busy couple of days! And thank you all for your posts. For those that haven’t posted comments before, your first comment goes into a moderation queue (which is why it doesn’t appear immediately) but once […]

I missed the anniversary of the transplant last week as I was in hospital, but it is probably worth remarking on, although this time last year I wouldn’t have expected to be where I am now! Firstly, can I thank you all for your comments and expressions of support – I have said so before, […]

As I reported yesterday, I rang St Thomas’s to see about my appointment – to discover that it had been scheduled for this afternoon! I had a long chat with Sally – one of the lovely radiologists on the PET unit – about the pain problem when I am lying down, and the thoughts were […]

And with that in mind, I thought I would bring a little festive decoration to the blog! I hope you like it. There is some other good news too – yesterday was the earliest sunset of the year, and from today, the evenings start getting lighter! Yes it is true! Although the shortest day is […]

This was the view that greeted me this morning, although during the day the weather has got progressively wetter! In fact it was equally frosty yesterday so we decided to have the first open fire (in the fireplace!) of the season.

Indeed it was – but you might be asking why I was up at Guy’s this morning when the next scheduled visit was to be next week! Bear with me and I will tell you! It has been a busy week one way and another. Last Saturday I was doing a bit of preparatory plumbing […]

And here we are on a very grey Friday morning on the first of December! I have been doing a bit of tinkering with the blog software and I have added a calendar to the sidebar – highlighted dates indicate that there has been a post. The other addition is a ‘Seasonal’ category for links, […]

This is the first Thursday for some weeks that I haven’t been up to London for a haematology clinic! It makes a refreshing change! However it does mean that there isn’t a lot to talk about healthwise. My gut is settling down, slowly, and my appetite is better than it was, although eating is without […]

I have just had a busy but fun weekend with Leukaemia care, the charity I do voluntary work with. You may recall that the charity has been developing some training courses and I am one of the trainers delivering the courses. We have got them about 98% complete now, and this weekend some of my […]

I have just been up to London for another check-up at Guy’s with the lovely Linny, and a medical student (whose name I didn’t get – Liz?). No much to report really. The problems of last week, while not fully resolved, seem to be getting better, and it is too soon for any signs of […]
