T + 9 Early Release Date

By -
I didn't have to have my evening dose of ciclosporin yesterday because my blood results showed the level was high enough. Similarly I didn't have a dose this morning. I'll have an evening dose today and they will check my levels with a blood test tomorrow.

The professor saw me yesterday afternoon and said they were looking at releasing me "early next week". This is great news but I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much as a lot of things could happen to put that date back between now and then. Even so it is very encouraging.

I didn't sleep so well last night and today I feel sort of "twitchy" or fidgety all the time which is a bit of an annoyance.

T + 188 Hackery, Bakery, Accident and Emergency

By -
Quite an eventful weekend by my standards these days. My energy levels have been improving over the days. On Saturday the creative muse struck me and I wrote the first draft of a 3600 word short story ( one sense of hackery ). It needs to be revised and edited but when I am happy with it I will prolly stick it up on a site like ABC Tales  like my friend Andy has done . Then you can chose to read or ignore at your leisure. Writing this was a good measure of my general energy as , with breaks, I worked on it for about six hours starting Saturday afternoon and didn't feel too bad. Indeed I have logged on and done a full day's work today and been quite busy. Feeling a bit tired now but not too bad. On Sunday Gareth did some bakery as is his wont these days and I did some hackery ( in the other sense ) trying to create a Mac OS X DVD so Gareth can install it on his EEE PC and make it a hackintosh . Sadly it wasn't successful :o( The Accident and Emergency bit relates to my Mom w

Bright Eyes......... (PG)

By -
.......and no longer " burning like fire ". The chloramphenicol drops have cleared up my conjunctivitis again and I'm just finishing off the course of drops today. I've stayed off the computer pretty much over the last three days to help my dry eye syndrome as well. That has been quite bad in my right despite using the artificial tears regularly. The problem is, as it always has been, at night. As soon as I move my right eye under the lid in the morning, never mind actually open it, I get a sharp pain in it like someone has poked me in the eye. What has actually happened is that the surface of my eye is dry and the base epithelial layer of the cornea breaks down and gets ripped off by my lid. Yes it is as painful as it sounds. The pain subsides after an hour or so and generally it is ok for the rest of the day. What's worse than the early morning wake up poke in the eye is if I wake in the middle of the night for some reason. It takes me a while to get back off
