Friday 11th Jan - You will see from yesterday's blog that I was planning a run today, but I felt weird all afternoon, as though I had stood up too quick. Anyway, decided against a run!
Got a Marathon pack through from Kidney Research. Sponsor forms and training shirt. In the same post came an invite from Dept of Urology for a "cystoscopy & left retrograde study" Apparently my CT scan showed an area of calcification. Can't wait, sounds like fun!
Todays thanks for sponsorship go to Tim. Really appreciated

Join me on my quest to run the 2008 Flora London Marathon and at the same time, raise as much as possible for Kidney Research
Why Kidney Research?
Kidney Research UK supports research aimed at finding better treatments, and ultimately a cure, for kidney disease. We have over £9 million invested in research at any one time, awarding grants to doctors, nurses and researchers across the UK. We also award grants to kidney patients so that they can cope with the unexpected costs of their condition, and campaign for better patient access to renal services.
For those that don't know, I have Polycystic Kidney Disease. The type I have is carried in your genes (sorry kids!). My mother has it too and had a transplant about 10 years ago. But apart from a few pills each morning to control blood pressure and the odd ache & pain I don't know I've got it. I have just had a host of scans & tests and have been passed fit, so what better time to run a marathon? I am supposed to keep fit & eat healthy, plus I have just turned 40, so perhaps it is some sort of mid-life thing too!
