Another Friday!
Mar 3rd 2006PeterPost Hospital
I haven’t been very diligent in writing the blog, but with weekly check-ups, there isn’t really a lot to report on healthwise!
However I did have another check yesterday, and also had the stitches from the Hickman line removal removed – so apart from a few (more) scars, that is all done and dusted!
Progress seems to remain good, although there is still slight concern over kidney function. They are working OK, but not quite as well as they were before I started the treatment – in particular creatinin (Sp!) clearence isn’t as good as it might be – the solution is to drink yet more water – recommended 3 litres a day (haven’t they seen there is a water shortage in the South???) and to reduce the cyclosporin dose again – a mere 25mg/day.
Apart from the weekly trips up to Guy’s I have been keeping gently busy round the house – the odd (easy) job, a bit of computer stuff (continuing my self training programme on Linux) although having said that, I have just foobar-ed one computer (now un-foobar-ed) which wasn’t very clever.
I am also considering the future of the blog. At some point soon I want to transfer it to one of my servers, but I am wondering how much longer it will continue to be useful… comments please!

If you don’t keep it up Peter how will we know about the colour of your squirels and preference for ketchup?
Good to know that things are still on course.

For purely selfish reasons, I am pleased that you have been bothered so far. I appreciate that it isn’t scintillating writing/ reading in one respect, but it reassures that you are still on course for making progress – I need to know! And as time advances one expects that things slow down somewhat. If you do make a change – please can we still have ‘access to you’ through the change? The north may be frozen and snowed up, but in bonnie Glasgow we have sunshine, frosts, and it’s dry – apart from 1/2hr snow on 1 day! (Oh, I forgot, Steve (TTT) was asking for the blog address so I shall give it him!). L’n’Hs, OOO

Hi Peter,
I’m with Elspeth on this one.
You know that I have been an avid reader, I still check every couple of days for updates. Please keep it up.
I would however be happy for you to stop if it was because you were well enough to be back on the CAREline!!
Luv & stuff

Thank you for the comments!
I’ll certainly keep it going while there is anything to report! If the hosting does change I’ll certainly let everyone know, and possibly have a reedirect set up!
