Month: March 2023

Spoke to Nurses this morning about the infection and today’s blood test. After a while she came back to say … don’t come for blood test today AND from today no more 2 tests every week. Instead it’ll be one every two weeks!👏🎉 Mandy found that Covid jabs were being given at my surgery 🙂… Continue reading DAY 137

It’s been a funny old time.   It seems that the Zoledronic Acid infusion that I had last Friday, has caused some unpleasant side effects – hip pain, flu symptoms, faintness … things like that. That was followed by the biopsy on Monday… with all of the associated stress effects (which turned out to be… Continue reading DAY 136

Slightly tough day – details tomorrow 🙂

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

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.

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

Here we go again … Into Hospital for 8:15 am 🫤🥱 for, first, another blood test. After that, it was time for a Zeldronic Acid infusion. So I waited. Had a cup of tea. Battled with a crossword. A nurse came and apologised … saying that they were waiting for the results of my blood… Continue reading DAY 130

I’m a little over excited today, because I’m starting to feel … a bit Normal! I managed to change my appointments this week, so that I’m in Hospital on only two days. I had a🩸Blood Test on Monday, and tomorrow (Friday) at 8:30 🥱 it’s another Bloomin🩸Blood Test and a (frighteningly named) Zoledronic Acid infusion.… Continue reading DAY 129

A day off again today, after spending a lot of time yesterday organising appointment times. Mobility is still a BIG problem. I’ve upped my pain killers to 8 a day, and we’re hoping that the problem will disappear with time. It’s very limiting, and looks a bit like this …
