Hospital

Yesterday was hospital day .. the new appointment after the cancelled one. That appointment has seeded a few more in different departments to help deal with specific problems.

I was lucky that it was a relatively easy day though things weren't too good by the evening again. Still .. I'm now waiting for appointments with different doctors to cover all the things they might be able to help with. Some of it crosses between different departments as doctors in one department need the knowledge that other doctors have in other departments before they can get the full picture. as well as my needing the help for individual problems.

I did wonder if I would be sent to Kings as it's nearer and they have the base of the department that specialises in my illness there though it overlaps into St Thomas' and Guys too. Seems that I belong to Guys and St Thomas' though. Had a crowd if students and another doc come along with my consultant to see me while I was there. They're teaching hospitals and I guess it's good for them to have hands on experience along with reading about things in books.

Anyway .. there is some new treatment in the pipeline though it's going to have to be changed for me because of my reaction to mega doses of prednisolone. There are other things to try after this if it doesn't work. Also they'll be trying to get my pain under control.
