Weekend!

Promises to be a busy one - got a drinks thing tonight, followed by all day in a pub for the brilliant Laura's grand re-opening of The Bedford Arms tomorrow, then a trip to see Charles Darwin's house in Kent on Sunday. Will try not to have more than a couple of drinks throughout the day - a slight challenge when watching three Six Nations games in a row! :)

Just had a call from Liz, the transplant sister @ Guy's - they want to reduce my Tacrolimus dose as I've too much of it in my blood and it may be causing the creatinine spike, so down from 5 to 4mg twice a day. Which ironically means taking 8 x 1mg tablets instead of 2 x 5mg ones so my pill count goes up, not down *lol*.

They also want to do an Ultrasound Angiogram to check the artery to the new kidney, as they fear it may be narrowing, which would also account for the creatinine spike. Quite a specialised test apparently in that only one Radiographer @ Guy's does it so it may take a couple of weeks. Can't be that urgent then!

So at least there's some things to look at and try to get the damn numbers back down!

Really need to knuckle down with some work this afternoon, but the hospital news is always so damn distracting!
