I finally made it to the Doctor. I missed the previous appointment due to rank carelessness on my part. I had to wait a week for a new one. I figured the results of the tests would be not serious or they would have hauled me in earlier.

Anyway the good news is that the 24 hour blood pressure monitor showed up no abnormalities. I was within the 140/90 range throughout. The ECG is fine and though my cholesterol is slightly high it's apparently nothing to be alarmed about. The Diabetes test showed no symptoms.

Whilst all this is fine it still does not explain the flushes and sweating. The Doctor did point out that these kind of incidents do happen. He did think(and I agree) that I don't drink enough fluids so I must make a better effort to drink at least 2 litres of liquids a day.

My voice still comes and goes a bit. This Wednesday I am going to have an x ray whilst swallowing in the presence of someone from the Speech Therapy Department. Well it's different I suppose. In my next blog I'll report on that result.

But hey it's two years since the operation and I feel great.
