  • Week 313 – March 8th – Rollarcoaster continues

    The weight battle continues, as I managed to get back below 18 stone. 

    Now 17 stone 13lbs 8oz. 

    Hopefully I can stay below 18 stone for a while now.

  • Week 313 – March 6th – Health Insight survey

    My monthly survey for the NHS regarding the service they provide. All going OK with my feedback regarding the SVT appointment.

  • Week 313 – March 6th – Nurse call 

    After my appointment with the SVT consultant, she said she would be sending a letter to my surgery so that I could get new stockings for my legs. 

    This morning I had the call from the nurse to put in a new request to the pharmacy for them.  

    It’s good when things run smoothly.

  • Week 312 – March 1st – 18 stone again 

    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 310 – February 13th – Blood test

    This afternoon I had a blood test check on how my diabetic control was. 

  • Week 309 – February 6th – Health Insight Survey 

    Finally able to mention that I have an SVT appointment to see a consultant. 

  • 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.
