Peter’s Hospital Diary

And what a glorious weekend it was! It looked a bit overcast this morning, but the sun is now shining as strongly as ever! This week sees middle daughter’s birthday, so for her birthday we went and had a picnic at Goodwood races on Saturday. It was another glorious day – very hot, so it […]

And it was off to London, bright and early, for my fortnightly consultation with Linny. I also saw Florence – who you will remember is one of the Haematology specialist nurses and who gave me lots of encouragement when I was feeling a bit despondent after the 23 March PET scan. (The first one after […]

It did look a little overcast this morning, but that has burnt off and it is another lovely summer day here. I have been out watering the garden this morning, especially the veg patch (only a few beans and some onions) but I have yet to catch whatever is eating the tops of some of […]

I was going to write this last night, but after two glorious days, the skies clouded over and we heard the rumble of thunder – however this morning the sun is shining again and I am writing this sitting out in the garden…and if you look carefully you can see a pair of colourful shorts […]

Looking at that t+133, I think I might start counting in weeks – so today is t+19. And a lovely sunny day it is here too – which is just as well as we have taken advantage of youngest daughter’s absence in France to make a foray into her bedroom. An interesting voyage of discovery […]

Just noticed that it is five days since I last posted 🙁 and although I would like to be able claim that it is because I have been too busy responding to my fan mail that would be untrue! That said, I did have a couple of cards from people who had seen Friday’s episode […]

Yesterday’s blog entry attracted record numbers of comments and almost record number of ‘hits’ on the pagees – thank you! Well I had my 5 minutes of fame this morning although I didn’t see the programme live (I was out talking to the work medics about my future employment – looking good!) but I did […]

Good news! The scan showed that while there is still a little bit of activity, the amount is much less than the last scan, showing that the incoming immune system is continuing to fight the good fight! Although I did have a warm feeling about the result, I’m sure that you can imagine how enormously […]

A brief post today as I have to continue laying the thermal insulating boards in the conservatory in preparation for the underfloor heating and the final tiling! I did start it yesterday, but I underestimated the amount of tile adhesive I would need (expensive stuff too – almost as much as the tiles it is […]

Not a lot to report really although it was good to see the team from the PET centre again. The scan itself was much like all the others (with two notable differences) but the ‘exciting’ bit will be the results next Thursday. However I have a warm feeling about that! But I said that there […]
