A few people have complained that I am not keeping this blog up-to-date on my medical saga. So for those nice folk who care, this is where we are at.
I've been visiting the specialist every week, where he reviews the previous week's blood tests, decides that some aspects of the liver function are still not quite right, takes another blood sample and asks to see me same time next week.
In the mean time I'm still on a "3 glasses of red wine a week" liquid diet, and I have cut out all the foods that I like.
I am reminded of a novelty tray that Mum and Dad had hung on a wall at home. I never really understood the words as a kid, but it makes sense now.
"Everything I like is either illegal, immoral or fattening"
The tray had two saying on it. The second one, (which I still don't understand) was:
"The best ten years of a woman's life are between 28 and 30"
Anyway, we had decided a date to have the gall bladder removed - July 24th 2012.
This morning's consultation was short and sweet. "Mr McLeod, you have a cold coming on. The surgery is cancelled."
"See me next week and we'll review your blood tests and see how your cold is progressing."
So, still waiting.... Maybe we'll do the operation in August.
Is all for now..... Cheers
