This afternoon, I did my monthly NHS health survey.

As previously all good.

Went and saw Dad, thankfully he has been put in the cancer ward that he goes to every week, so they know him there.

He definitely didn’t look well at all and was still on an oxygen machine and antibiotics.

The nurse said the last two days the antibiotics were helping his numbers, but it’s his oxygen and not eating which are the main issues.

He struggle to hold a conversation because of his oxygen.

Sadly he won’t be home for his 60^th wedding anniversary.

This evening, I found out that my dad was in hospital, due to his oxygen levels being very low and breathing issue.

Hopefully he won’t be in too long, as it’s my parent’s 60^th wedding anniversary next week.

This evening I went on to the NHS app to see if my blood results were in.

They were and I was glad to see the reading was showing as 37, which is a normal reading, so the daily walking is helping me a lot.

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.
