Bob dragged me to the doctor this morning, a little against my wishes, as I figured that nothing much could be done, so why bother?





The good doctor John pretty well confirmed this (that there wasn't much aggressive treatment), that it was likely that a virus (don't you just love virrii?) might be causing both the gastritis (gut) and respiratory symptoms. Treat my sinus with over the counter drugs for a change to avoid my usual six month antibiotic overload, and see how things go.





My renal (kidney) function is still a bit iffy, but I will need to wait until I'm well until the blood tests are repeated. We talked some more at length about my (?sp) bradycardia or episodes of slow heartbeat with continues. With Bob there being dictated to, we shall try and get me to the hospital when it happens again. There was a fair bit of talk about a pace maker, and that he thought it would make me feel much better straight away, but, and it's a big but, it is a rather radical step.





I'm getting gradually stronger each day, and would dearly love to kick the new year (and 2008 is going to be a really great year) with some exercise, preferably running. That is no doubt too ambitious, but maybe a walk to the botanic gardens is on the cards!
