The lung function test showed a slight improvement over the last one six weeks ago, but still a bit down from last year – the next one is in two months to coincide with the check up.<\/p>\nWell, no – it was exactly the same Guy’s that I went to yesterday, with pretty much the same routine – arrive – give blood, do the crossword, see the doctor and then leave! However there were some slight variations yesterday – I had longer to do the crossword as the blood order (the order for the tests) hadn’t been ‘put on the system’ and afterwards I had a lung function test.<\/p>\n
However the check up went well – nothing untoward was found, although I am slightly amused to be started on an anti fungal drug, fluconozole as “I am at risk from fungal infections”. Well I would have thought I have been at risk for the last 2 years and it is a bit late now, but… whatever! I was threatened with Itraconozole (the foul tasting stuff – certainly by association) that I had during the transplants) but I declined that! The other good news is that it is thought that a bone marrow biopsy would serve little purpose after the PET scan, so that has been cancelled. Best of all, the next check up isn’t for another 2 months, so I took my leave, wishing the team a Happy New Year!<\/p>\n

The trip back was eventful A broken rail outside Basingstoke meant that trains stopped there, followed by a bus to Winchester to pick up local trains – enough to say that a 90 minute journey took 3 hours!![\"Olivia\"](\"http:\/\/www.boraston.net\/blog\/images\/olivia_nov_22_3_t.jpg\")

However I arrived home to find Olivia visiting us! As you can see, she is all but walking! She has no problem pulling herself up and standing with minimal support – she just needs to sort out the balance thing! (We’ll have to cut back on the gin in her food!)<\/p>\n
And then last night we went to Rachael’s certificate presentation at her old school. She obtained her spectacular set of results, in a very good year, so it was good to go back and see her year group get the recognition for all their hard work! Well done Roo!<\/p>\n
So on all fronts – Onwards and Upwards!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
