This morning I was hoping to hear that Mum’s Covid test results would be back. Unfortunately, despite the swab being sent for testing last Thursday it still hasn’t arrived. This means that Mum remains in quarantine and I wasn’t allowed to see her today as previously planned. As nobody seems to know where the test […]

It was great to be back leading our San Fairy Ann CC Saturday bike ride. A pleasant sunny day with a chill in the air early on but plenty of sunshine. I met the group at Marden then the seven of us set off for the Friars at Aylesford. Somewhat hilly route but that is […]

Poor Mum is having a few problems. Her hip wound is inflamed and she is now on antibiotics. It is a seven day course and hopefully will remove any infection if that is what it is. The nursing staff have trimmed the stitch in the wound as that was bothering Mum as well. I had […]

The tooth has gone! Surgeon arrived late for my early appointment yesterday. The clinic is a converted bungalow in Wigmore and did not look as though it had the same high standards that I am used to. However, the surgeon was very matter of fact, gave me a sheet of post op dos and don’ts […]

The last couple of days the infection has fought to take over my entire life but today I filled up with pills and decided I needed fresh air. Yesterday was a wash out as Storm Francis passed through, so today I cycled to Cranbrook to meet the Wobblers. A lovely day and reasonably warm. Les […]

As expected my tooth infection is taking the same path as a few weeks ago, very painful. Now on Ibrobufen and Paracetamol for the pain once again. I contacted the dental surgery (not hospital as I have now found out) and they were very good and as result they have slotted me in for oral […]

Worse this afternoon and clearly the impacted wisdom tooth has become infected once again. Tomorrow I must chase up […]
