With a lift to the hospital, I was there close to 9am. Blood taken by a nurse, I sit on the "green chairs" to await my appointment. The usual pattern of the morning repeats itself: have appointment with doctor, wait on the green chairs for confirmation that my blood tests are ok, go to pharmacy to "collect" prescription, be told to return in 45 mins to an hour.
I do not leave the hospital until after 12.15 pm.
My news:
- scan in a few weeks, and then in three months;
- return in a month for check up and scan results;
- advised to go to complementary therapy on an evening once a week, for massage or acupuncture;
- I must not start running, until my stiffness and pain has reduced. Pilates, cycling and swimming are good activities (low impact). Swimming in a few weeks, once my low immunity phase has passed.
I am very tired. I slept in the afternoon. Parents' evening tonight - all good.
love to you
