Permission to drive granted and as of late afternoon I officially have a banging heartbeat, clear lungs (caught a nasty lung infection in hospital which has taken months to recover from) great blood pressure and a very fit liver (which also suffered badly during the brain op.). I am convinced that the steady intake of red wine during lockdown paid off amazingly well
What a scary few months it's been. All behind me now. It seemed very strange to walk out to the car and drive to the doctors, all by myself this afternoon. All the practice nurses and a couple of the doctors came out to wave at me from a safe distance, which was really nice. They've all been so good when John was sick and looked after me very well ever since. A real bonus having access to one of the best GP surgeries in Britain. It must be true. It was in one of the NHS surveys a couple of years back. Lucky me
