So what has happened in the last month (and a bit)? Well first off a trip to A&E for a "waterworks" issue coming away with 7 days of antibiotics. Then 10 days later into a local walk in clinic for the same reason and same result. A few days later and into Urology at the local hospital for CT scans resulting in a request for blood samples. So off to a different walk in clinic, resulting in a phone call 2 days later saying new (different) antibiotics are on the way because the ones I was on are not effective againt the infection I've got.
Then on Monday 20/04 we went on holiday, river cruise on the Danube (where I'm composing this post). Tuesday morning I get an early morning call telling me to quit taking all my type 2 diabetes meds because of further analysis of the blood samples taken and that I have to supply more blood samples within 24 hours - that was scarey being as I'm in the middle of Europe and it's agreed that I will comply as soon as I get back.
This week has gone well so far but I am experiencing loads of weird stuff - body reacting to the sudden ending of meds after more than a decade of taking them? It's called going Cold Turkey. I've been here before coming off steroids after 3 months of being on them back in 2005 but that was much more vicious than what I'm experiencing this time around and for that I am grateful.
So motorbiking has taken a back seat, just 3 rides out around Derbyshire, and it's hurting.
