chrishansenhomeI have two appointments with quacks this morning. The second one is the usual foot appointment. I think I'm going to catch hell because my right foot became infected the day after my last appointment two weeks ago and I just started taking the antibiotics again that they had left me with the last time. This was two weeks ago, and I suspect they'll be annoyed. Tough. It seems to have worked as the right foot is OK again. I'll just ask for more antibiotics.
The first appointment is at St. Thomas's Hospital with the Fat Doctor—Bariatric Surgeon. I am presuming that this will be an initial evaluation to see whether they should pursue some kind of bariatric surgery on me, either a gastric band or a gastric resection. I'm in favour of the latter because of its effects on diabetes is patients who have had the operation. We shall see. I'm a bit nervous about the appointment so I hope it goes well. If he's anywhere near the attitude of the lipid nurse a month ago, I'm outta there.
