Yesterday was Biopsy time.   The team included Dr Javaid, Nurse Tzaddi, and SCSW Maria Dr Javaid didn’t have a Black & Decker Hammer Drill, didn’t have a screwdriver, and didn’t even have a hole punch. His first (slightly strange) first words to me were “l like your trousers. They’re corduroy aren’t they”. As the… Continue reading DAY 134

11:30, and sitting in the blue sky sunny, but very chilly, garden having coffee. Heading off to hospital in an hour or so. More later 🙄

Very damp and grey, but a pleasant lazy Sunday … … and I can still move like yesterday 🙂🥳 Experiment with pain killers to pick the best times for tomorrow’s BMB (Biopsy) at 2:30.

Lovely blue sky day after the damp grey Zeldronic Acid of yesterday. So coffee in the garden, as we wait for a shopping delivery. Later, feeling a bit tired after all the exertion, I go in for a quick snooze. An hour or so later I wake, and head for the kitchen where Mandy is… Continue reading DAY 131

A day off today … so catch up tomorrow 🧐😊

Off for another bloomin Blood Test, this morning … Back soon 😊 … … All done, and that was OK. The nurse said that I’m looking stronger every time she sees me 💪💪 After that, we head off to Maidstone for some shopping. I’m struggling a bit today with pain in my left hip …… Continue reading DAY 126

Woke up feeling lively and dynamic, and doing breakfasty things, before Mother’s day coffee and cake with Mandy and Max in the garden. But after that, I’ve been a bit like this … … for the rest of the day. Tomorrow might be a bit interesting as I try to sort out what’s happening HubblyBubbly… Continue reading DAY 125
