@linjane Even stranger, We lived in Upton (between Aylesbury and Thame) and I spent a lot of time at Word's End Nurseries, being a lover of gardening, especially exotics. Which hospital are you using? I will be sending good wishes for a positive outcome for you. Do you now have to have blood tests on a regular basis too?

@mrfish Thank you for your support, Art. It is very much appreciated, especially at this stage of the game. People can't imagine what you are going through unless they have experienced this first hand, and I include medical staff! I am fortunate I have not been in pain ... but, then again, when one isn't moving much ....

I'm in the coffee shop at the garden centre whilst reading this! Wow. Following my first stage I got a little mobility scooter and could get there using it to meet friends and get out of the house. I can now drive or walk I'm pleasded to say. I'm under SMH and HWG depends what type of surgery you have. Emergencies are at SMH whilst electives at HWG so I have done both. My original surgeries were at the Chiltern though, same consultant. This is so weird I can't beleave it.
My surgeon dosnt tend to do regular bloods but goes on symptoms I am however having them done this time hence the anxiety. I hope they have lovely garden centres in Portugal. Lin x
