It's funny how some good days just get better as they go along and when you expect them least. Hamada has been doing so well lately, more than we could have dared to believe, only a few short weeks ago. Still sleeping a lot but noticeably better. Yesterday we made the trip to Lincoln County Hospital for his renal check-up, and for a change we had a really short wait for the consultant, which was a joy. After all his checks B.P, Urine, Weight, etc, we had the quickest time with the Doctor, I can ever remember. Kidneys are holding at the 15% reading, Createnin level is better, B.P within the normal range, and the best words of all "I don't need to see you for eight weeks"! now how good is that? We do of course, have to attend the Heamatology Clinic as usual but how amazing it felt not to have to make that extra journey so often. We came out into the beautiful sunshine and felt on top of the world. We then had a nice walk, (well Hamada in his wheelchair) around Lincoln Town Centre, which is a very pretty place, full of young people from the University and the shops are great. We made a few purchases, the only advantage with a wheechair , I can see, is the ability to carry your parcels as well as the passenger. Having a nice lunch in an outside cafe, we so enjoyed our day. Simple pleasures but simply lovely.

Hello Susie and Hamada, thanks for the updates! We had a little good news as well. My lovely wife, Cheryl and I got a call from one of her doctors who said he wanted to show us a new device that may help her walk. It's an electronic device that stimulates the nerves that have been blocked by the scars formed on her spinal column from Multiple Sclerosis. The preliminary tests are good, she has ample nerve response and is a candidate for the new technology. We're going for a consultation in a week or two, then some therapy, then, SHOE SHOPPING! I never thought I would actually want to go shoe shopping, but it has been years since she could buy a pair of stylish shoes.
Little things mean so much.
Best wishes for continued good news!
Michael
What wonderful news Michael, how happy this has made us to read of your great news. We sincerely wish Cheryl, all the very best with this amazing new treatment. How brave you are Cheryl and we hope perhaps a pair of the most stylish shoes for you- dare I say "Jimmy's"
