Monday 4th January update

Thanks for all the kind words over the last 24 hours or so. Feeling better today, not as chesty.

While I do plan to get out, ideally three times a week (two work, one other), the expected snow for tonight and tomorrow have put me off going out tomorrow! As a result, tomorrow will probably be only as far as the doctor’s surgery, if I can get a suitable appointment when they open tomorrow. On top of the planned snow, which may or may not emerge, there is also the fact that I was returning from hospital 24 hours ago!

An unusual chance observation was last night at Lister Hospital. The doctor that saw me prescribed me prednisolone, and gave me water-soluble ones. However, as I was waiting for the first dose to dissolve, I noticed that they were made with saccharin, which gives me a bad tummy/cramps usually. So, I pointed this out, and I got “regular” ones. Well, enteric coated, which saves the bad taste!

 

p.s. Random report – my favourite travel-related promotional item of 2009 was this Traveline South West fridge magnet… complete with a cheesey pun! lol
