Getting Better All The Time
My left hand that is!
I just ate a whole baked potato and my left hand was so much better, than when I ate the last one a few days ago.
You can’t tell from this typing, but I’m now starting to use my left hand for characters like A, S, W and others near shift.
Could it be, that I’ve been walking around London today with a case in my right hand and this has somehow got the arm to sort itself out, as it’s not doing any work? I don’t know and don’t care, so long as the improvement stays and even increases.
An Evening in London
After the cardiologist, I took the train from Cambridge to London, where the aim was to have supper with my son, stay a night in hotel and then do a bit of shopping and have lunch with a friend in the morning, before returning in the afternoon.
This was my first trip anywhere on my own, since I had the second stroke in Hong Kong.
As we often, do we ate in Carluccio’s in St. Pancras Station, which can do me gluten-free pasta, if I feel like it, as I did last night.
Afterwards, I took the Circle Line to Tower Hill, where I had a reservation in the Premium Inn.
At Last Some Good Health News!
I went to see the cardiologist yesterday afternoon. It was the sort of doctor’s visit that we all like!
He indicated that he had reviewed my X-rays ans scans from Addenbrookes and then asked me how I was getting on with the Warfarin. It has not been a problem for me and the anlysis at West Suffolk Hospital has gone very smoothly and professionally. He then said that the Warfarin should protect me from another stroke and that the leak in my heart valve was moderate and probably should be OK for ten years. As he knows, I’m a technologist, we talked a bit about how software and techniques are improving for a few moments. After the chat, I felt that if I did need an operation it would be a lot less serious than the ones my Mother-in-law had thirty years ago.
He then said that I should come back and see him in six months.
That last point really cheered me up!
