Surgery in September!
Jul. 23rd, 2009 09:15 pmI was back in London this week, being pampered by the personal shopper at Debenhams (new clothes, woo!), meeting wonderful people at TransLondon, holding penguin parties with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ktroo85 and her mother, and having a post-surgical check-up at Charing Cross. Mr Thomas seemed very pleased with the results of my operation, and, with the application of a little silver nitrate to pacify the granulation tissue I've developed, declared that we shouldn't need to schedule any more such appointments - I'll be *fine*. This is good to know, as I'm hoping to return to work properly next week.
I will, however, be returning to Charing Cross hospital for a simple tracheal shave operation (to reduce my Adam's apple) on 1st September. I'm amazed - I'd requested a referral in the expectation that the PCT wouldn't dream of funding the procedure, after all their recent reluctance even to fund GRS. As it happens, there was never any argument made by them - perhaps because they're wary of me by now, perhaps because it will hardly cost them anything... but I hope it's another sign that they are working on changing their attitude towards funding.
