17 December 2016 - another clinic appointment done

Since the last post I have been for my fortnightly blood test and also had a clinic appointment.  That was over 1.5 hours late (becuase my consultant was also on the ward and because they always have to overbook the clinics to get the appointments in when the patients need them).  I ate my lunch, read my book, was in and out of the consultant's office in 10 minutes (brilliant!) - bloods all within expected range.  I also popped up to E10 to deliver some biscuits and to wish them a Merry Christmas.  It is always nice to see the staff up there and they are so cheerful and friendly.  It's also a wake-up call to see patients who are just starting their treatment - makes me realise how much I have improved since this time last year.

So, I have to go for more blood tests next Friday and after that the next clinic is 10 January.  I am still noticing that the neuropathy in my feet continues and I am pretty stiff of feet and ankles in the morning (Andrew mutters darkly - 'old age').  Otherwise I only notice the tiredness.  I am now on holiday until 9 January so am looking forward to getting up later and hopefully staying awake later too.
