Well, that's next few weekends of rest, relaxation and rugby sorted out.

Yes, I know that the "bronze final" is missing from the second image. Don't blame me, blame the knockout page on the RWC website.

Nearly normal

Posted by at 10:16 pm in Health, or lack thereof.

I was back at LRI for another weekly haematology consultation on Wednesday (T+161). The most-recent blood tests (sampled at T+154) indicate that levels are all in their "normal" ranges. I do have an extensive red rash though, so they're plying me with steroid pills for a second week. They're happy with the weight-gain progress, and the target weight has been revised. I've given up asking them to check my serum ferritin level but I'm fairly confident that it's going in the right direction.

No bloods taken this week, not sure it that's due to confidence or cost-saving.

Aside from the three obvious howlers, the notion that interested parties can "Call In For Further Information" is bemusing... the building is unstaffed, has no reception and has a secure keycard access system.

Until we meet again, Bob.

Bob Harris. He'd been a regular inmate/outlaw at the LRI for years before I started my stint in 2015, I can't remember many days when I was there and didn't meet him. Always talking, always happy, always funny and always loud, everybody knew him and everybody liked him. He passed away in September.

Until we meet again, Bob.
