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?
