Morning everyone, a busy couple of days. One of the medications I am on cannot be supplied, a statin called Rosuvastatin. Fortunately I brought a spare supply from Kenya. I had to visit the GP practice to ask them to add my double vaccination certificate to my records as the NHS app does not allow this. When an elderly gentleman at front of the queue at the practice asked for an emergency appointment because of stomach pains, he was told “go home and wait by the phone until 6:30pm for one of the doctors to ring.”….I hope it’s something easily remedied.
Yesterday I was at the hospital seeing the surgeons to get the scan results and to discuss treatment. The aortic aneurysm is still within safety parameters and it doesn’t need repairs at the moment, what a relief….. The aneurysm in the right knee is 2mm off from needing a repair. The surgeon was a nice chap and said he is a specialist in aortic aneurysms, he wanted to reassure me that he is the right man for the job. I am to be scanned in 6 months or sooner if there is a problem. 5 years ago today, I had the bypass.
I have booked a preflight PCR test for next Friday 17th, same day result £200….a racket. On Sunday I will fly to Dublin, then another PCR test with same day result £70. On 20th, fly to Amsterdam and then onto Nairobi for Christmas and New Year, looking forward to seeing Jessica and sampling the tropics.
