Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / September 2007Here we go!
Went to see my Dr on Tuesday to get my BP measured again. This time it had come down to within the "satisfactory" range so she said she'd write to the hospital and tell them they could go ahead. Had a phone call from the admissions department the same afternoon to ask if I'd seen my Dr yet. I told her the results and she said "You should get a date soon." Yesterday I came home to a message that the hospital had rung. I called back and they asked me if I could come in next Wednesday. I said "yes" and they told me to turn up at 7:30 in the morning! I'd be done the same day. Seems like someone must have dropped out and I got fitted in. Telling them I was available at short notice was a good idea, then. Cheers for now, Dave  SignatureDave Smith Wordsmith and yarnspinner, singer and storyteller Great news Dave! Now don't you go raising the BP by worrying too much. I've had a few days off t'internet this week - my mum's been visiting (taking care of me whether I wanted it or not!). I had my 27 clips removed on Monday and it is a lot less itchy. Like last time, the wound healed over very nicely and quickly indeed. It is still a bit sore and itchy, but I am rubbing vitamin E oil into the scar, and aloe vera gel when it itches. Sleeping at night is still a nightmare, but I can doze in the day to make up for it thankfully. My next target is for me to have a really excellent night's sleep, but I fear its a couple of weeks away yet. I have to remind myself that it has only been two and a half weeks since my knee replacement, and tell myself to take it easy a little! I will be thinking of you next Wednesday.
