29th March or bust

I had a work from home day today as I was due to see the consultant at Guys. It seems I now need to up my folic acid and also increase my inhibitors. Plus more ferrin(?) will be required by means of an iron infusion. I've also not been feeling to good, possibly a mild form of flu.

Also today the never ending saga that is Brexit moved forward. Already this month there have been defectors from both the Labour and Tory parties forming an independent group of MPs to oppose Brexit. This is good. It has also put pressure on both May and Corbyn. Only yesterday he agreed to pursue the idea of a second referendum. And today May agreed that there will be a vote on delaying Article 50. First a vote on her deal or no deal. The assumption is that the Commons will not vote for her deal. Then the following day a vote on no deal or delay Article 50. On the face of it it seems that leaving on 29th March is now dead in the water, as is her deal. But she is still trying to get those legal assurances from Brussels, so we will see.

Meanwhile I am quite concerned by how I might be impacted by a no deal scenario. If my dialysis supplies cannot be delivered it will be very serious for me. I counted about 20 different medicines and equipment that I require. It's not possible to stock pile. I don't have the room for it.
