Health Update 42

Had the Liver Biopsy on Friday which went very smoothly and was painless. Got out first thing on Saturday morning but as I didn't sleep very well in the hospital I was knackered all day. Can't fault the NHS as everything went as planned, was well explained, food was OK, ward was very clean, not too warm, excellent treatment. My thanks to all the nurses and staff involved during my stay. I have an appointment with the Consultant in a couple of weeks to discuss the results. Fingers crossed everything is OK.

Went to my GP today as my "line" runs out tomorrow. He asked if I felt I was OK to go back to work and I said yes. So I'll be back in the office tomorrow but I'll probably plan to work from home as much as I can for a while. The Doctor advised to take it easy and not to overdo things at first. I won't, and now the work is aware of my illness, things should be a bit better.

The Doctor has me on a low dose of anti-depressants to give me a bit of a boost and also try and take the edge off my appetite. I've definitely noticed that my appetite has decreased which is a good thing and Lesley reports that my general mood has improved. If they continue to appear to be working then he may increase the dose to take account of my "size". Happy days.
