Happy Birthday To Me

Well it's my birthday today I am 50yrs old. To celebrate it I had to attend hospital for my routine blood tests (all turned out fine and are almost back to normal). I also had my Hickman line removed, which is quite sore now.
However, I count this as one step closer to getting better.

A bit flat

Don't know what it is today, I just feel a little flat. I have a hospital appt tomorrow for bloods and the removal of my Hickman line. But that doesn't usually bother me.
It is also my birthday I will be fifty. But birthdays don't usually bother me either. Maybe all the exercise I have taken this week has caught up with me. I have slept a lot today.

Chuffed to little naffy breaks

Yesterday I managed to walk about one mile in a round trip to the village and back. Yes I was tired and I did fall asleep to recharge the batteries.
Today wow... my wife Ann said that Steven our son in law was going to take her to Asda. Can you imagine the surprise when I heard my voice saying. 'I will come with you.' I know I was certainly surprised.
Anyhow, I did go with them. I did walk all the way round the Asda Superstore (not just a small shop). And yes I am no officially knackered.................. time for some shut eye.

First consultant App, since my transplant

My appointment for my bloods today was at 9am. My Consultant app was for 10am. Not too bad considering it sometimes takes about 30 to 40 mins before I am seen in blood clinic. Today however, we set out from home at 8am giving us plenty of time to get there during rush hour. What happened in reality was we arrived in less than 25mins. A slow walk up to the ward from the car park only wasted 10mins.
So in I went for my bloods, there was one lady and myself in the unit. I looked at the clock 8.50am, mentioned to the nurse that I was due in clinic at 10am so she could take as much time as she wanted to. Then the consultant came in to the unit. He was ready as soon as the patients were clear. Said he would see me as soon as my bloods had been taken.
At 9.10am I was in the consultants room. Wow!! He informed me that all my blood levels had risen, except that I was slightly anaemic but not to worry about it. He was very pleased with my progress and would urge me to keep up the exercise and the walking. I was out of there by 9.30am and on my way home. Hooray for holiday traffic.
