Wednesday

Not a long post .. probably guarantees I'll be here for the next half an hour or so .. actually I'm very tired this evening .. had another restless night last night, though I slept for a long time and didn't get up til around eleven this morning.

I'm probably going to have a change in my meds soon .. have to go back to the specialist in Leicester first though before they're prescribed. I missed my last appointment with her cause I was too ill to go. Glad to have waited though cause really I think I'm happier trying a new med out now that I'm not in hospital every three weeks or so cause I've caught another cold and sneezed. That could still happen I guess but, at the moment, it's not every time.

I know that the new med, it'll be instead of the Cellcept, will be toxic, possibly more so than the Cellcept. I think that from something one of the docs said about any future meds some months ago. Can't remember the name of the new drug except that it begins with R, Guess I'll have to go and read up on the treatment again and find out what it is. There aren't very many treatments for the illness so it should be easy to find. I'll read about it and make my mind up. They think that the Cellcept has done all it can do now so this will be the next step.

Anyway, I asked my doc to find transport for me .. the doc at the hospital said to sort that out and then he'd make an appointment.

If I can't find the name of the drug on the net I'll phone the hospital and ask .. and read what I can find about it before I go. There are a few options but this is the one they seem the keenest about.

I think the damage done by the bug I caught a few weeks ago has healed a bit. Have to wait a bit longer to be sure though.

Walked into Warwick and found a couple of interesting books in the bookshop .. no copies of De Telegraaf left in the newsagents that usually has some .. suppose it was late in the day. Walked in cause I'd obviously just missed a bus .. was heavy going walking up the hill .. people seemed to think that I'd overdone it a bit when I told them later on. Was a bit difficult but I was ok .. did wonder if the walk caused the restless night though. It was well worth it in other ways though.

Was trying to remember which window the St Nicholas things were in the other year .. but couldn't. did buy a marzipan sweet in Warwick and some Stollen slices today for St Nicholas day. Maybe I should try and find something marzipanish or some other sweets to share on Sunday for St Nicholas Day. It'd be nice.

Did go out later yesterday too .. and was pleased that I did. The woman I gave the book to was very pleased with it. I did wonder what she'd think of it. I knew that it couldn't conflict with her beliefs in the main but did wonder if there might be something there that jarred a bit .. other than not being able to connect with a couple of the experiences .. though couldn't see what. But, you never know. Anyway, she likes it so much that she's giving it to someone who's very ill.

Time for a mug of soup and then bed I think.
