Peter’s Hospital Diary

Another cold but bright morning here in London, the temperature in my room has drooped to 27C! The forecast snow has yet to appear. The building work outside is in a quiet phase (or very extended tea break) apart from the massed sound of multiple angle grinders yesterday afternoon.

Really good night sleep last night, the morning observations were delayed and I slept right through from the 2 o’clock ones to 7:30! My mouth is getting a little sore, but this is always worse first thing in the morning, and not nearly bad enough to stop eating – and breakfast was better today.

If you can get into the blog, you will know that we are having (or have had) problems with the telephone line at the server end of things. Re-configuring proved to be greater task than first thought, so we are living with the erratic phone line, which should be repaired by Monday.

I seem to be ahead of myself this morning, the ward round has yet to take place, and I have had my shower – but no exercise bike this morning.

Yesterday afternoon was broken by a welcome visit from Mark (blog hoster) and his wife, Sue. They were in London for other reasons, but dropped in for an hour. Their visit coincided with the Cyclosporin infusion – resumed now that we have established an accurate baseline for the drug.

The general consensus from the ward rounds is that things are going well, long may that continue!
