Health and Fitness Update October 2014

Returned from sojourn in the “Bus”, to the reality of hospital appointments and complicated arrangements around Wafarin and Clexane injections.
Two appointments, back to back, Monday & Tuesday.
Reduction in Warfarin dose, because of surgery on 6 th October,Clexane only , from 2nd October; Warfarin AND Clexane after the Op.until next appointment on 13 th October.
The surgery on Monday 6 th is to remove the Filter in my neck,which was inserted earlier in the Summer , to prevent the possibility of a blood clot,fears for which were aroused by the discovery of a small primary embolism, after a CT Scan. Hope it’s dissolved, evaporated, whatever!

Some confusion around meeting with my consultant, which he stated would be 3 months from the surgery on July 3 rd; having rung his secretary to be told that the only appt. She had was for 29 th December – that would be almost 6 months after surgery.
To increase my fitness, I have restarted walking, locally, with four miles along the Newhall Valley on Tuesday 1st October.
Then a 2 1/2 hour “weeding” session at the allotment, on Wednesday 2nd.
Gathered some Strawberries – never experienced that before – must be the result of a long, dry, warm September.
Leg as and knees OK but my back aches!
Still, walk on….
