I had a hospital appointment today - my first since the surgery. Had bloods taken and a group session where we discussed how everyone was doing following the surgery. It was interesting seeing other people that had been through the same surgery as me but the next session will be 1-to-1 so that might be the last time I see them! It was originally scheduled for the 6th but was postponed due to the inclement weather. It took most of the afternoon, early evening, so I didn't get much in the way of writing done. Just under 1200 words on a blog post. I have nearly finished a book which I will leave a review for but that might not be today.

Passing the torch on to simplyn2deep and wishing you well!
