I'm Not Well...
but you accept what you have and get on with it. You also realise you are better than some and I don't compare myself with others but...though I was tired and in some pain...especially on the way home. Was OK(ish)at the start of the day.
However, it was the day of my hospital appointment. I met my new consultant. I am impressed and like him. I have faith in him.
It was like talking to a friend and no sign of superiority or aloofness.
In short he is happy with my results and my continuation regarding my illness and condition. Unless something goes wrong I am not seen until November but if I feel ill or have concerns I have to get in touch with his department.
There is one slight concern. He didn't seem overly troubled. My cholesterol is higher than he'd like but as I have often said its doubtful my diet has anything to do with that. Its what can happen with kidney damage.
There is now talk of having a low dose Statin tablet and he is to contact my Dr. He says that many many of his patients take them and they do/can make a difference. I believe I am borderline but on or above the number that set alarm bells ringing.
I did not want to but I gave in after getting into town from the hospital and had to get a taxi home. Too tired to garden and I ate a chicken salad and slept most of the afternoon away. Now its BINGO!!!
Tomorrow I'll garden, rest and then hopefully attend the Durham Miners Gala on Saturday.
Update:Apart from sweeping up/bagging hedge cuttings. The hedge is done for now. I did the last bit with a lop lopper(?)when I came in from bingo(which I did not win)I would've used the electric trimmer but there are two young children living over the road now and I thought it was too late to use it.
