23/11/21 Consultation, and the Suffolk game

Face-to-face consultation with Dr.Ch at Springfield yesterday morning. Pleasant conversation but not a whole lot new except that he's taking up my unofficial medical adviser's suggestion of adding a Haemoglobin A1c test to the bloods due to be taken on Thursday. Steroids such as dex can kick the blood glucose up into Type 2 diabetes territory and although I do occasional tests the best they can offer is a snapshot of that particular moment. The advantage of the new  test is that it gives an overall figure for the previous three months or so. Not that I have any real suspicion that I'm turning diabetic, but definitely best to keep an eye on the possibility for as long as I'm on the dex. And as far as I can see, that's not going to stop any time soon.










Went straight from Springfield to Hanbury Gardens for the afternoon session and after finishing off one game got introduced to a variant known as "the Suffolk game" for three players. It involves using two coches, both thrown together from the same hand, and you can play for whichever one you want. It's an interesting and very tactical variation, but not too easy to work out the correct order of play...
