Monday 25th February Monday morning and normally you get everyone wanting a piece of you, especially your Consultant, but as he said on Saturday evening he would not be in today.

I apologise for the lack of blog posts but since my surgery, on Friday 22nd February. I’m so far behind and so much has happened I could probably write a book on the past week alone. As things are starting to improve slowly I hope to be able to get a couple of posts done […]

We came away with an appointment to go back at 10:45 and see a new Doctor I had not seen before. She was running about 15-20mins late […]

Christmas Days unwanted present has been developing over the last few days despite starting the antibiotics again. Maybe I should have started them sooner but I am getting the feeling it wouldn’t have made much difference. I’m no expert but I’m guessing there’s something in there, small bit of grit for example, which is why […]
