Yesterday was WONDERFUL. Unbeknown to me Paul and a friend had cooked up a wonderful surprise. Every year for the last 7 years a group of us who all trained at the Royal Free hospital have met up in London around the date that we begun our training 32 years ago. This year I had said that I wouldn't be able to come. But rather than leave me out they decided to have the reunion in Reading at the hospital. So when I arrived, sitting on the seat in the corridor were my 4 friends. It was such a surprise I had no idea. Paul did such a good job of keeping the secret. They then took it in turns to sit with me throughout dialysis - and we chatted catching up on all our news. What a delight! They had come from Scotland, Norfolk, Liverpool and Chelmsford. Instead of a lovely meal as we usually have they had M & S sandwiches! It was a really lovely afternoon. Kitty then came at the end of dialysis to meet me and has stayed the night so we have time to chat. What a lovely weekend. Thank you girlies for all the effort you made to come and visit me. I really really appreciate it. Thank you Izzy and Paul for organising it.

I now have a lovely morning with Kit and a cooked breakfast. What more could a girl ask for.
