27/11/21 (2) Zometa

Another wet cold and damp day, made worse by a viciously cutting wind. After breakfast at The Hare we really did intend a short bracing walk in Tower Gardens, but just the short distance from the door to the car was enough for a change of mind. So still a bit short of my Activity Target for the day.

No lunch, venison burgers with sweet potato mash for dinner.

Hands & splits improving after a day almost entirely out of the cold. Took a Furosemide when we got back from breakfast, and ankle oedema looks good pre-shower.

Several posts on the facebook group about people having regular Zometa (usually at 12-week intervals) well beyond two years. This goes against my understanding that there is little if anything to be gained by going beyond 24/2yrs. There's no obvious pattern to the replies to my question, all you can say is that different consultants take different views.

Forecast is bad for the morning so will probably sacrifice Ongar Boules in favour of getting a couple of long-delayed jobs done in the house while Sue is off at a wind band day. Monday at Epping will have to go as well because the car will be in the garage after a couple of bad pothole thumps and my ill-advised attempt to drive straight over a kerb in Ongar Sainsbury car park.It was where I thought it wasn't... The car needs a check that all is OK underneath  at the front, and there are a couple of very minor paintwork issues to deal with. There's also some light snow forecast for Monday...
