Looks like I’m on a rollercoaster ride with the 18 stone mark.
Back over 18 stone, now weighing 18st 1lb.
I will have a battle this year with the 18 stone mark.

Week 312 – February 27th – Swelling attacks
After chasing the hospital regarding my earlier email, I finally got a response this afternoon from the doctor regarding taking of the medication.
“As symptoms (swelling) have been stable /resolved lately, kindly try to slowly wean and stop Fexofenadine
If you are on Fexofenadine 1 tablet daily, reduce to alternate day in the first instance and continue for 6-8 weeks, and then stop. You can restart if symptoms re appear in future.”
Let’s see what happens with reducing the medication.

Week 311 – February 18th – Blood test results
After the blood tests last week, I decided to have a look on the NHS app to see if I could see the results, which I could, and they were all OK regarding the diabetic check.
I like that you can see stuff on the NHS app that you would have no clue about in the past unless you rang up, which you meant waiting in a queue to be answered.

Week 311 – February 16th – SVT
Well, this was a fun journey, Sidcup to Kings Collage Hospital, as there is no direct train route. I was going to change at Lewisham, but as we left Sidcup, I decided not to, instead I went to London Bridge.
Then went down to the underground and took the Jubilee line to Westminster and changed to the District and Circle line to Victoria, where I then took a train out to Denmark Hill, before walking down to the hospital.
The only good thing today, was that I saw the consultant early, as after looking at my leg, said I will get you to have another scan. Why not do this before the appointment?
The other question is how long will I have to wait and will it more local for the scan or up to Kings Collage Hospital again?

Week 309 – February 5th – Bowel Cancer
I got my results back today and thankfully the Bowel Cancer came back negative.
I’m glad they check this regularly, but unfortunately there are so many other cancers around.
Check if you are asked too. Stay fit and healthy.

Week 308 – January 28th – Eye Test
Thankfully no issues with the car for this appointment.
First eye test free because of being over 60 but still had to pay for the extra tests.
Everything went well and no new lenses were required, so not an expensive start to the year.

Week 305 – January 8th – Health Insight survey
On this month survey, I could finally say that I have an appointment regarding my SVT, though still not great communication regarding the issue.

Week 305 – January 5th – Collarbone appointment
I was quite surprised to get this appointment so soon, as I only contact the NHS last week.
After seeing the consultant twice, once before the X-Ray, and then after, he was happy that fracture was healing OK, though he did say that it may never fully heal.
He would only be concerned if I was still in pain in September, a year after the injury happened. They said it was most likely the muscle just rebuilding itself back.
Snow at the hospital. Wasn’t expecting the snow, thankfully no impact on the journey.
