Haematology January 21

	Jan 21, 2015	Dec 24, 2014	Nov 26, 2014	Oct 29, 2014	Normal
Hb	101	104	109	100	130 - 180
WBC	3.52	4.00	3.02	3.10	4.5 - 10.0
Neutrophils	1.6	1.80	1.16	1.43	2.0 - 7.5
Plt	494	551	391	427	150 - 450

None of the values are within normal range, but Hb is just above the level at which DIPSS+ indicates a worse prognosis. The consultant agreed that an abrupt change doesn't really occur, and she also acknowledges that a single point for age over 65 doesn't accurately reflect the actual position. I think my own arbitrary adjustment for these two factors will turn out to be closer to reality, giving a departure date of July 2016.

PS Jan 22 Saw GP Dr F this evening who prescribed 1.25 mg Ramipril as well as the 10 mg Amlodipine I'm already taking since the visit to the New Cross 24-hour walk-in centre the Sunday before last. When I was discharged from King's in June all the blood pressure medication was knocked off, for review by the GP, but the message wasn't received. So I'm back to the list I was on before the pneumonia.
