18/11/2024 Much much betterer

 Not the myeloma, or not as far as I know. Next haematology consultation is in early January, and I've booked the blood draw for 18th December because of Christmas and New Year getting in the way. Instinct says the PPs will be up over 5 but who knows?

Other things, however, are improving. My HbA1c (diabetes) number is down to 43, and my watch has just reminded me that today is - at long long last - the final session. Or would be, if I hadn't pulled out of the ridiculous waste of time a couple of months ago. Weight is also going in the right direction, now down a trifle over a stone but aiming for a lot more. Or less, depending on how you look at it.

Yesterday week five of us from Walter House played some boules at the Falcon Bowling Club, and I was the worst I've been probably ever. Couldn't control my right wrist and fingers at all, and couldn't get a ball anywhere near where I wanted it to go. And then you start changing your mind about the shot you want to play halfway through the swing and it goes totally wrong...

Been bugging me all week. But we went again yesterday and I was back to normal - some good balls, some not so good, but very few hopeless. And my side won the doubles 13 - 12, so much happier now! Nevertheless, it's getting colder and I don't think my season will last much longer, which means less exercise and (even) more Nordic walking up and down the corridors...
