Studying

We were up fairly quickly this morning. Diane had an appointment at the hospital and we had to allow for traffic.

There was no traffic.

We were there with 30 minutes to spare. Today's appointment was not directly connected to her recent surgery. At least, that's what we thought. It was a discussion regarding Lipoproteins (Little a) which had been flagged in a blood test. The doctor was a specialist. Boy, was she a specialist! We had a 30-minute discussion of microbiology, the effects of this reading, the implications, and so forth. We saw diagrams of cholesterol molecules and the LPa molecules and had a lecture on their purpose and the velcro-like tails that the carrier molecules can develop. It was riveting. It also gave us the cause of the problem that had recently been addressed by the surgery. (Apparently, the cardiologists and microbiologists don't really communicate with each other).

Returning home, with Diane signed off by the hospital, I then went and watched a Webinar on the subject which has been developed by Heart UK. 

The rest of the day has been taken up with household chores and a bit of reading, though we did get a chance to talk with the Sonning Crew only to find out that Trudy and Ian have only just recovered from a bout of Covid. It just goes to show that it is still about!
