Momentous

What a time to be alive. After reducing my anti-rejection medication my creatinine made a significant fall this week. So pleased that the return to a decent eGFR has recommenced again. I just need to fix the CMV infection I have contracted from the donated kidney and will be sorted. My liver is still causing me problems though and the cysts on it are impeding on my stomach, causing me reflux. I have an appointment at Kings next week to address that.

This week the Supreme Court deemed that Johnson had broken the law regarding prorogation. What an outcome! So Parliament was duly resumed. Hopefully MPs can continue to hold this corrupt Government to account and maintain our democracy.

This week I also spoke to my manager about returning to work. I feel a little guilty as there has just been a major release, which I missed. I just need to meet with Occupational Health next week and set a date for returning.

Set back

Bit of a set back this week - my creatinine stopped falling completely and was actually slightly raised. Also my new kidney appears to have a bit of hydro-nephrosis. On top of that my Tac levels are a bit too high. It's a bit of a balancing act to keep them right but that could be what is impacting my creatinine levels. Received a call from the surgeon today to reduce my levels even more and they are bringing forward my appointment to Monday next week.

Spent most of yesterday watching the proceedings in the Supreme Court where the Government is defending their position on prorogation. Tomorrow we will hear from John Major's lawyers. So it will be true blue-on-blue PM-on-PM. How has it got to this?

Johnson heckled again on a hospital visit. He really is not very popular with the people.

Finally the Lib Dems are offering a true alternative for Remainers by promising to revoke Article 50 if they win the next election. That is quite unlikely but it is a great incentive for Remainers to put an end to this sorry affair. Looks like Corbyn has missed the boat.

The drone bombing on Saudi oil refineries looks about the escalate. 

Extension

Huge day tomorrow. Will the Johnson lies be finally stopped and the country taken off the brink of no deal Brexit? Or even if Parliament votes for an extension, which will be legally binding on him, will he choose instead to break the law and ignore the will of MPs?

I'm so sick of the way this Government is choosing to interpret what "leave the EU" actually means. He lies when he states there is progress on the negotiation. I watched the statements with Merkel and she did not agree that the Withdrawal Agreement could be opened. She just said that there was existing provision for alternative arrangements to replace the backstop when and if it is finally agreed that they will actually work. Despite his lies that there is progress the EU states categorically that there is not and that he has not presented what these so-called alternative arrangements will look like.

Yet he needs to claim there is progress as the only defence he has against removing the threat of no-deal.

There is no progress.

And let me state again, I have specific requirements for medication following my transplant, which is at risk if there is a no deal.

The sooner this nasty party is consigned to history the better.
