28/01/18 – A Sleepy Weekend

It’s the end of my first week back at work after having a month off, and I’m so tired after it. I’ve reduced my hours down to part time as I felt I was pushing myself too much. It’s so important for me to keep working as I love my job and colleagues, and gets […]

23/01/18 – Accepted back on the list!

Happy New Year! Hope everyone had a great 2017 and wish you all a happy and healthy 2018! As you have probably guessed by the title, I have been accepted back on the list. All the paperwork has been completed by the transplant coordinators and have been active since 09/11/17. Well, now that I’m back […]

25.09.17 – A healthier, happier Me!

I’ve been quiet over the past couple of months because I have felt uncomfortable to speak out until now. I have only told close friends and family where I have been since coming out of hospital in June after an episode of Cholangitis. As I mentioned in my previous post, I was advised to gain […]

10.06.17 – Bulk Up

“You are not medically fit for transplantation, just yet” My heart sank as soon as the Dr said this. I was a bit taken back by their decision as it seemed as though they were very keen to re-list me yesterday. It almost seemed as if it was a last minute decision by the team. […]

09.06.17 – Back on the list?

Sitting by the window in hospital being treated with antibiotics for my first episode of Cholangitis as an adult. I’ve never been jaundiced (apart from when I was a baby) so it was a bit of a shock to witness my skin and eyes changing colour. I couldn’t even mix the right colour foundation to […]

12.05.17 – International Nurses Day

Some of my earliest memories when attending hospital were when I used to visit Prof Kelly at Birmingham Children’s Hospital. These were routine appointments which involved weight, height, vital signs (Blood Pressure, Pulse etc.), basic abdominal examination and bloods. It usually took up the full day so my Mum used to stop off at Toys […]

19.04.17 – Routine

Jumped out of bed the other morning, as i felt like doing some Yoga. It’s been something that I’ve recently got into by a few friends of mine. I find it beneficial as a stress reliever and helps wake your body up in the morning, or relax you in the evening, depending on what routine […]

15.04.17 – Easter

Chocolate has really never been my thing but i’m going to look into a healthier easter alternative. I still live and breathe a healthy lifestyle and have improved on my cooking skills, but give it a year or so until you can expect an invite to dinner. Ill upload a photo and recipe on what […]

06.03.17 – Hello Again :)

My blog still gets views and puts me in touch with liver disease sufferers. It’s great to be able to share stories and support others this way and through CLDF. I’m constantly updating myself on info regarding liver disease, so able to understand more about my condition, along with other liver diseases. I’ve been watching […]

04.01.2016 – Revalidation

I’m starting to focus on blogging more often as I have more energy, focus and drive to do more. So it seems things are coming together, and to say the least, i’m feeling much more positive these days. The waiting game continues on returning to work, but i’m hoping to be back late Sept if […]
