Had my same-day appointment (Dr.Wi not my usual Dr.Ku) and didn't have to wait too long after 11 to be called in. I now have a diuretic (Furemoside 40mg) to address the oedema. Seven days on, then off if there's an improvement and see what happens. Otherwise continue for the rest of the 28 days and report back with a week to go.
We have a continuing problem with the boiler / valve / programmer / thermostat, meaning that we have no, or very unpredictable, hot water or heating. Except for the immersion heater, of course, which is invaluable backup. Have just ordered a new electric oil-filled heater from Amazon Prime, should be here tomorrow. There goes the electricity bill... The weekend is forecast to be cold, and there's no way our plumbers or heating engineers are going to get this sorted before Monday. If then. Not directly myeloma-related, but just more problems we could both do without.
Update: plumber's been back and replaced the new (and possibly faulty) valve head with a new one. Everything SEEMS to be working OK so far. Fingers are crossed, toes also.
