Today's News from the Free!

So there is a direct relationship between how interested doctors are in me and how much I am getting better. For example in Brisbane I saw the consultant every day for 3 weeks, then she came every 3 days but I saw the registrar everyday. By the end of my time in hospital I was seeing the consultant once a week and i saw the most junior doctor (the fab doctor Dr Emma) everyday.

So at the Free today I saw the Registrar! This is a good sign! Yippee. I really must be getting better.

My blood results (despite the excitement of last week) were

Bilirubin 96

INR 0.9

I am definitely less yellow- it's virtually gone from my eyes.

The other sign of getting better is less frequent visits to the Free. My next appointment is in the 30th Dec! Five weeks from now. 

The steroid reduction is much slower now. I am currently on 12.5mg of prednisolone. I reduce this 10mg on the 26th December.

So all really positive news!

Lets hope for no more dramas. A quiet progress week would be nice please!
