Status Report 3
I have a date for keyhole surgery to remove my kidney: Tuesday 17 March. This fits what I was told previously, so all is to schedule. Recovery time is likely to be four weeks. I expect to be in hospital until Monday 23 March: visitors most welcome! Please call the Western General, or Level 4 office has my contact details.
My liver biopsy took place on Thursday 19 February; the hardest part was to lie still for six hours after. I had meetings with my infectious disease doctor on Wednesday 25 February and with my cardiologist on Monday 2 March. My endocarditis is clear, but will need to be monitored once a year. The biopsy shows a deposit of amyloid protein; experts are being consulted, but it has no effect on my surgery. My thanks to all my doctors and the staff at the Western General, who have been excellent.

Good Luck Professor Wadler. My Father had a kidney removed a year or two ago. When he went in the consultant asked him about what he ate and drank. Well, he said, before I retire every night I have a tot of Laphroaig. In that case, said the consultant, waving her finger in his face as she spoke, remember it's very important that you don't stop.
