I did e mail the Upper Gi Nurse Joya today. Impressively she replied within an hour. She confirmed that patients receiving chemotherapy were at greater risk of contacting swine flu than most others. If I were still having that treatment I would need to ring the chemo unit at the hospital if I felt any flu symptoms. However as I am off the pills for now at least if I get said symptoms I would need to contact the GP Surgery during office hours and NHS Direct or A and E out of hours. However according to the news procedures seem to be changing quite frequently so we need to keep up to date should something happen.
Otherwise it's been a busy day for Ev helping out with getting ready for Andrea's 40th birthday bash this Sunday. Alas the forecast for the weekend and early part of next week is one of sunshine and showers some of them heavy. What happened to the prediction of a long hot Summer?
Health wise things continue to go well. I managed to eat fish and chips today without any discomfort. I suspect after the operation I shall not be able to eat such things.
Finally our local council are continuing their habit of doing major roadworks right in the middle of the holiday season. There are traffic jams everywhere. Oh and one final point. From tomorrow our youngest Grandson Harry will be sleeping in this room. As a result the blog will be posted earlier in the day.
