Health
When I had my health check a few years back, my bloods came back close to being pre diabetics 2.
Today was a blood test check how this was doing.
Claire dropped me off at Queens Mary’s hospital and when I checked in, I was the only 1 waiting, I was actually in and out before my time.
Everything went fine, just waiting for the results.
Another month and another health insight survey.
Nothing really to report as I have not had to use the NHS in the last month.

Took Claire to her yearly diabetic eye test.
It was at the same hospital, but in a different part of the building.
When we got on the floor it was like a ghost town, the waiting room was quite clearly a patient bedroom.
Considering all the issues with lack of space for the NHS, this just shows the waste of a medical property with all these empty rooms.
The eye test went all OK.
That time of month to do the Health Insight survey and nothing really to report thankfully.
Another month and another NHS health insight survey.
I have definitely seen an improvement in the last year with seeing a doctor in a reasonable time.
Though I do wonder how people cope that have no computer or computer skills as you have do an online request.

I went to see the consultant regarding my SVT and he was happy with our my leg looked after taking the blood thinner tablet.
He advised me to stop taking the medication, but did say that now I have had this happened once, it can happen again.
I was glad this was a face to face appointment and not just a telephone call, put my mind at risk regarding this incident.
So I’ll be very careful if I fly again.
Today we travelled up to London as Claire had been asked to have an echocardiogram at St Thomas.
When we walked into the location, we wondered if we were in the right place as there was no one there.
After a few minutes someone came who was the receptionist as she had been making a coffee and checked us in.
Everything went OK for Claire with the echocardiogram.
This afternoon I had the follow up appointment with the Doctor regarding my blood pressure and she was happy that it was good, with an average reading of 117/82 and said that did not need medication and would sign me off for my life insurance.
I found it interesting that the Doctor said I should have been on the medication, but the walking and keeping active as obviously helped my blood pressure, does make me wonder if you need to stay on medication once on it.
Let’s see what the life insurance company now say.
