Betty killed my social life

Yesterday, Betty underwent a full day of scans and blood tests following 12 months of drug therapy.

I am buzzing with excitement today. I had a phone interview with Dr Matthias Hammer as part of a competition I have entered to win my dream holiday. He is the most amazing man. And I love German people almost as much as I love the Dutch. There is something seductive about both accents. My list of heroes is growing. Dr Hammer has accomplished some amazing achievements and as all who know me are aware, the Namibia holiday makes me dizzy with excitement.

Being inspired by another human being is one of the best feelings there is.

Today I met the man of my dreams. Sadly he is married and out of my league!

Stanley developed Hyperthyroid in the summer. I immediately consulted 'Dr Google' for information, and found that as an alternative to pills, he could be nuked with Radioactive Iodine and potentially be cured. However, to qualify for this treatment, we had to ensure that his hyperthyroid was not masking any renal malfunction. To do this, he had to be stabilised on drugs and then have more blood tests to check his renal function.
