Cancer Recover Day 27

Another reasonable night, up 3 times to go to the toilet. Recovering from pneumonia is a tyring process. Still have cold symptoms that aren't fully developed.

The fingertips are still suffering the dead/dull sensation that make typing uncomfortable.

Spoke with Amanda, Gwen, Peter and Ann. Peter seems to have recovered very well from his Covid-19 infection.

Attended the Glebe Surgery for a second covid-19 booster jab, a 4th Pfizer RNA vaccination. The doctor administering the injection saw no reason not to proceed because of my recent pneumonia and course of antibiotics.

BP 138/75
Pulse 60
Temp 37.4c also 36.8c.

BSC - 0

I chose the audiology appointment as my preferred first step.

4000hz

I have taken a look recently on the iPhone App Store to see if there are any useful tools to restart a distraction program again. Having reduced the irritating high pitched whistle that I constantly have on both sides four years ago though distraction it may work again. Having quietened the tinnitus before only for it to be brought back by my car alarm going off while in it. Being exposed to very loud noise makes my tinnitus increase in volume, so another attempt at distraction seems worth the effort. The first app investigated was Tinnitus Finder by Desyncra for Tinnitus , its free to download. This app took me through a series of pairs of sounds each time asking which sounded most like my own issue. At the end of the process the app reported that the noise I hear is around 4000 hz.
