First clinic of the new year
As mentioned in the previous entry, I went up to clinic today. It was busier than I expected and I had to wait over an hour and a half to be seen. Fortunately, though, I had brought the book I've been reading since New Year's Eve - Otherland, by Tad Williams.
I was glad to discover that the trains were working normally - when I went up to have my bloods done on Sunday, there was a Rail Replacement bus service running between Wickford and Shenfield because three trees had come down on the line, bringing the overhead power cables down, during the previous night.
When I finally saw the consultant, I had to update him on recent events. He was aware I had been in hospital, but had to rely on the computer record for details. For some reason there seemed to be no record of my second biopsy.
However, my blood results showed a reasonable improvement in creatinine level - from 215 on Wednesday to 182 (or was it 186?) on Sunday. I had half-expected to find it had got worse, so that was good news. I have to go back on Tuesday next week and will not be transferring to Southend on 10th Jan (the following day) as had originally been arranged: they want my creatinine and tacrolimus levels to have stabilised before I am transferred, which will probably mean continuing to go up to the Royal London until the end of this month.
