My Day Curve diary

5.15 am Alarm rings, shower, shave
Remenber not to take my pills or eat anything. This is essential for accurate results. I should drink plenty of water though.

6.10 am Arrive at Battle station.

6.20 am Catch train to London
       
8.55 am Arrive Charing Cross
Take underground to Regents Park- packed like sardines, how can people do this every day?

8.25 am Arrive Harley Street - at last! Soon I will be able to take my pills and have some breakfast! This has been the hardest part of the day.
 
         
  8.45 am First blood test
I'm going to have to wear this cannula for the rest of the day! In fact I hardly notice it's there- just have to be careful putting on my jumper. 		 
The rest of the day is governed by my schedule of tests:        
     
 
   
  For the first few tests, I am glad for the chance to rest. At 10am, I can have some breakfast. As the gap between the tests increases, I am able to carefully put on my coat and go out for a walk. I have had many years experience of these days and I have no worries about knocking the cannula as I explore the streets and parks of London.    
               
  The Telecom Tower looms above the Regent's Park blossom              
    6.55 pm Finally the last test! (brought forward a little so I can catch my train) With great relief, the cannula is removed- I can bend my arm again!      
    7.15 pm Arrive at Charing Cross to find train has just left.
7.25 pm Next train comes in early
7.45 pm Train leaves
9.15 pm Arrive home very tired. Its been a long day, but worth it. Sussex seems wonderful!
     
    I should get the results in a couple of weeks. I will post them here with an explanation
Thanks to everyone at the London Clinic Department of Endocrinology for making the day as comfortable as possible, especially Phillip, Lorna, Sue .(where were you Ellie?)
