The 15th & 16th; What a miracle my body is.

The 15th of January. Early start again - liver clinic this morning so we were out the door at nine. Philippa wasn't in today, but I saw Kirsty and a nurse I know from TCT, who has changed jobs to help patients with the psychological effects of transplants and transition from BCH to the QE.

James was very happy with my liver tests; he went so far as to call them "perfect". I'll take that. He can't quite believe it, after the way things were in 2013. To be 27 on Sunday is not something I thought I would do a few years ago. We weren't sure I'd see 23. What a miracle my body is.

Got home and I had a coffee while I watched the first episode of season 4 of How to Get Away with Murder. The ending was a good twist - that's a way to keep me watching. It's so good. Viola Davis is amazing.

I was at the dentist and hygienist this afternoon. Dentist first, but not Liam as he has a new baby, so I met Elizabeth. She's very nice, was very complimentary about my oral health, no problems there. Then Sandra cleaned my teeth and she was happy that we'd had success with the Oral B toothpaste.

Other than that, it's been kittens and crochet. Make this flipping bear.

The 16th of January.

Bleah, it is too cold. Bloody winter. I do hate having to get up so early when is freezing too.

This morning it was the Women's Hospital for menopause clinic. I got a bit of my book read, then I was called in by Elaine, Dr. Robinson's clinical nurse. We had a chat about the past year, and about the procedure last week. Bit of concern about the coil, because that has to come out next year or 2020, and there is some worry as to how we retrieve it because last time, Miss Byrom couldn't even see it. Will discuss it with her in follow up, although that has to be rearranged because the appointment they've given me is on the 12th. Can't.

This afternoon, I went to sit with the kittens, and I watched Get Out. I thought it was really smart, the way Jordan Peele used the classic horror movie tropes like the deer hitting the car, but the most scary part is just the general creeping unease that grows throughout the film. I was glad to have my furry friends during the final sequence.

The 17th & 18th; Long day in the chair!
