last monday was a day of travelling, didn’t get chance to write that week’s notes. today is a day of travelling, but i messed up the train times and have an hour of downtime in a cafe in Buxton. for simplicity’s sake i’m calling these “last week” and “this week” despite monday. it’s just as well, this week’s entry is fairly short.

the dermatologist(s) referred me for UV phototherapy. the first session was on the wednesday last week, at the Bermondsey Wing of Guy’s Hospital, which has great vibes in an 80s shopping centre atrium kind of way. it turned out was just a patch test of sorts: the nurse had a small handheld UV gun that fired a window pane pattern of ten beams of UV in increasing strength on my back, and a briefing on what to expect from the phototherapy itself, which left me with more questions than answers, and too much anxiety to ask them.
