Medical Bulletin

Since the purported purpose of this blog is to provide updates on my medical condition, here is an update: I feel quite well and have been out walking round the cul-de-sac over the last few days (not today though because it's pouring). I had to get the GP here this morning because I have a slight infection in my surgical chest wound, and some of the internal stitches have sprung loose (this sounds disgusting, but it is more uncomfortable than painful - the GP assures me that I am not going to unravel from the inside out.) I am awaiting the District Nurse coming to cut the protruding nylon stitches and I am to take antibiotics for the infection. Hopefully that will put things right. Otherwise, I feel perfectly well, and as long as I obey the strict medical instructions to do absolutely nothing but a bit of gentle blogging, some football watching and some listening to jazz and blues, then I should continue to get stronger.
