A positive day … I was due for a Blood Test, and a meeting with my consultant tomorrow – but because of the antibiotic’s side effects I’ve decided not to do either of those. Instead, I should have a phone ‘meeting’ with my consultant tomorrow, and I’ve changed the blood test appointment to next week.… Continue reading DAY 140

The infection thingy, and it’s associated horrible* antibiotics are a bit wearing … … but today has been a beautiful blue sky day, which we’ve spent, mostly, in the garden. I’m half way through the antibiotics 💊 * here are some of the side effects …

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
