Nil By Mouth is how you have to be when they take your blood, from midnight the night before until they take your blood. The results of which she heard today.
Her Cholesterol level is way down, everything else is measuring what it should but her Iron, D3 and Thyroid levels are all too low. The X-Ray of her foot shows a tiny Calcium Spur, not a broken bone and actually for the past three days, it has been much less painful.
The person two infront of her was with her GP for over half an hour, so she apologised when it was my mama's turn for the delay, no need said mama, I think it really nice that you take this amount of time with us and that patient obviously needed the extra time with you.
Her heart and lungs were checked, all ok, they agreed that it is, almost certainly, the new optic drug which is causing the new rash and the hacking cough, she has to go and see Moorfields about it and take the drug with her and show them the rash.
Then she ran like a March Hare for a bus to Fulham Broadway for it is Monday.. aka weigh-in day. There was just a couple of people left in the hall but they said "no problem, come in and we'll weigh you.." yippee.. lost 1lb. 9 stone 12 lbs.. aka 138 lbs.
The difference in the degree of pain in her right knee is staggering! There are some days now when she only gets the pain at night, before it was there pretty much all of the time and as for walking up long flights of escalators, well, she wasn't able to do it, now she can walk up most flights and going down is also much more comfortable.
Too many people think she's doing this just to be slim again, they're not aware of how both her poor old wonky knees took the brunt of the polio in 1956 or the damage which was done to her right knee and lower leg, in the mobylette smash in 1969.
Her GP is, of course, thrilled! Cholesterol and weight both down, she's ordered a more in-depth test for Thryoid and we are going to handle the Iron and the D3. A quick call to our beloved herbalist Christine @ Granary Herbs will get bottles of Tincure of Stinging Nettle and Dandylion on its' way to us. And the sunlight level for D3 will be increased as soon as we get out into the fresh air and start to do some gardening.
Wizard is coming to sort out our electronics on Thursday, soon all will be well in our home again.
We have had our early supper, fish, steamed spinach, kai lan and carrots with vegetable juice. Easy to digest and very easy and tasty to eat. She's finishing the biography of Dora Jordan by Claire Tomalin. Interesting book for several reasons, she finds social and political history fascinating and this book certainly has lots of both.
