Day thirty nine

Two things happened today: I had a text from the hospital telling me that my appointment to discuss my PSA results is on Tuesday the 13th January. That suggests two things to me: one is that it’s no longer urgent like my MRI was; the second is that it’s not nothing or they wouldn’t waste their time with an appointment. If all I need is yet another tablet they would send a prescription. So now I have to wait till next year to find out what is wrong with my prostate. They also want me to take a urine sample with me - it’s going to be an interesting conversation!

The second thing that happened today is that I looked at my NHS app and they have changed my title again to “Mr”. I decided to go to the medical centre to pick up a sample bottle (they don’t know my appointment isn’t until the middle of January - I just needed an excuse to go in) and while I was there I asked for my title back. I told them this was the 3rd time it had happened. I also said it seems petty and trivial, but they agreed that it should be restored. There are bigger issues in the world, with Russia etc. but I’ve been off for 39 days now and look at yesterday’s blog - my mind is working overtime.
