Thanks Griff, I hope you are feeling good today also.

Thanks Brenda (My brother says I've never been 'normal' )

No one seems to know, the consultant said sometimes we never find out how these 'nasties' get into our blood.

Thanks Eileen, feeling better today and even back to eating a 'normal' size portion, that's about four times what they give you in hospital

Ha ha, that made me smile Jenny, and I must tell you I was thinking of you when the consultant came round, I'm sure you've seen the scene many times in your past life, he at the front followed by various senior and junior and trainee doctors, he gives a statement, the entourage make notes, (Of course no one dares to question his judgement ) and then they move on, leaving the nurses to get on with actually doing what needs to be done (Sorry if that sounds a tad cynical, but that's exactly how it went )

Thanks Sue, I'm afraid I missed Barry going in again although I knew it was imenent, give him my regards.

Thanks Lynn, yes today I felt more like my 'normal' self, eating better as well.

Thanks Meg

Thanks Gordon.

Again, a big thanks to all of you, I saw my doctor this afternoon and she is pleased with my progress. Took yet more blood and I have an outpatient visit at the hospital next Wednesday 9th. by which time I hope (and expect) to be firing on all cylinders and now that the nights are drawing in I'll likely have more time on here and not in the garden Was able to take the hounds for decent walk today, was a bit knackered when I got back but as we all know in all our houses 'Dogs must have their exercise'

See you soon.

Good to hear from you Harvey and pleased things are going in the right direction.

Lovely you've got them out on a walk, may be knackered but makes you feel so much better inside doesn't it. Hoping you keep on the right side of it all now.
