I got out the house the other day to go to the cinema. It makes a massive difference to get out and do something that has nothing to do with hospitals. I went with my brother and my friend Stephen to see the film Prometheus. The three of us are big Alien fanboys so we were genuinely excited to see it and it didn't disappoint.
It turns out the persistent chest infection I had last month was a full blown pneumonia so it's a good thing the antibiotics we picked to treat it was the correct one. Taking a tablet every day is infinitely preferable to having to stay in hospital and get IV antibiotics. These particular tablets don't make me feel as sick as some can either so I was very lucky all things considered. Not long ago a friends sister died from pneumonia and it serves as a reminder of how lucky I've been on that front.
So I have a couple of weeks till my next monthly trip to the Beatson Oncology Centre and then it's only ten days till I go to see the transplant team in Newcastle again. They need a repeat bone density scan done but that shouldn't hold me back from going on the active transplant list.
