There are some other topics I’ve had first hand experience in that id like to improve my knowledge on first including pain management and eating disorders. […]

22.10.2024 – United Kingdom

A last minute trip was planned to go home. I was already in Spain for a beautiful wedding in Almeria so it was a short trip back home. I had planned to come in November but as there were a few events I wished to attend, I jumped on the plane from Madrid and arrived […]

25.10.20 – Side Effects

I developed a sensitivity to a new drug I recently started on. The side effects began on the second day of taking it. Not realising the pain and bad stomach was from the new drug, I continued on taking it as normal. The morning after I work up itching continuously. Honestly it made me remember […]

27.06.20 – Russian Farts

Guess what! I’m back at my place of work! Not working unfortunately. Im back in for treatment! I honestly thought that this year would be the year where I wouldn’t end up back in hospital. Well, it’s not like it’s been a particularly great year for everyone. At least I’d not be doing much at […]

26.03.20 – Very High Risk

After Boris’s message last week, as a very high risk person, I was sent a text message advising me on what stringent guidelines to follow. After receiving this message I decided to drive back home again. I returned last week because I wasn’t mentally prepared to go back. Being at home is a reminder of […]

12.12.19 – Too Soon

I regret to say that I ended up overdoing it last week! Thinking that I’d be ready to start exercising after 9 weeks post op, I thought I could give the gym a go. Going wasn’t the mistake, it’s what I did at the gym that was the mistake. After having an abdominal operation, you’d […]

26.11.19 – 2020

I haven’t been feeling great mentally recently. I’m feeling fed up with all this I’ve been going through for the last 5 years. I think to myself, when will it all end, when will I get the chance to have a healthy year without any hospital admissions. I do believe, however, that 2020 will bring […]

02.11.19 – Happy Hallowe’en

Just over two weeks post op – I’m doing great!! Much better than expected, but I’m still having remind myself that I’m still recovering. I’ve got a few people around me who have to keep reminding me of that, as I like to run before I can walk. I have moved back home to my […]

10.10.19 – The Surgeons Solution

So the Surgeons believe that they have a solution for these recurring episodes of Cholangitis. Yes, you are right by thinking that it requires surgery. I’m all happy that they have come up with a likely solution, but the recovery process is not what I want to go through again. It’s no where near as […]

08.10.19 – Back Again

Soon after being discharged I was back in hospital again with the same problem, same pain but slightly worse, same ward with the same fed up, frustrated feeling. However this time I’ve been treated with 7 days of IV antibiotics and had a CT scan to compare with the MRCP scan I had during my […]
