Just a quick update. I went to daycare for my first visit in3 weeks for IV copper. My CBC was completely normal. Copper level won't be back until Friday, but I don't have to go back again for 4 weeks when I'm booked for daily copper for a week with another venesection as well.

Things are going really well for the first time in years. Now I need to concentrate on strengthening my bones and joints. I've just broken my second toe in 4 months and the orthopedic surgeon says I'm not a suitable candidate for keyhole hip surgery so I suppose open more major surgery is in store for me at some stage in the future so I have to try to improve my overall condition.

Regards
