04.03.21 – Pfizer Take 2!

2nd and final Pfizer Covid vaccine… check! ✅ Feeling very lucky to be as safe as I can be now. It doesn’t mean that I can go back to work yet. We are told not to change anything in the way we protect ourselves. So I’m shielding now until 31st March. I can’t wait to […]

07.09.20 – Post-lockdown

Let’s face it, 2020 hasn’t been the best year, but I’m glad we are now in a better position. I’ve been back to work for a few weeks now since since lockdown began. It’s getting a bit tiring now. I’ve started to get home feeling either drained or defeated. Even though things have normalised a […]

18.05.20 – Cinnamon Rolls

So I’ve been working hard on my YouTube channel for a few weeks now and when I look at the stats, I feel as if I’m doing it all for nothing. I’m impatient! I know it’ll take a few years to build up more interest. I think I’m just desperate to get back to work […]

27.08.19 – Rest day

Chronic pain: Chronic pain is pain that carries on for longer than 12 weeks despite medication or treatment. My patient: Are you ok dear? Me (his Nurse) – Yeah, I’m okay thanks. Don’t worry about me. My patient: Looks like you need this bed more than me! Me: 🙈 This morning I was sent home […]

23.08.19 – Pain Team

I’ve recently had an appointment with the pain team to try and decide what alternative treatment could be offered. It wasn’t easy to hear them saying that I’d probably have this nerve pain for life. That hit me harder than I thought but I think it was because I had heard it from a professional. […]

01.07.19 – Hospital Visits

I’m back in hospital, not as an inpatient, but visiting friends. One went home a couple of weeks ago, the other a few days ago. I ended up bumping into one friend during my last clinic appointment. She’s doing incredibly well. I was very surprised on how well she looked too. This is the girl […]

30.05.19 – Holiday Packing

Holiday vibes! I’m currently on a flight with two other friends to Marbella for my sisters 30th. I’ve had mixed emotions on the lead up to it because of my anxiety and lack of good self esteem. I can’t help judging my body after all it’s gone through with the scars and very skinny frame. […]

19.05.2019 – Holiday Planning

I went for a check up last week at QEHB. It was all over and done with quite quick actually. I saw a Medical Dr I had never met before. He was great and understood my need for further advice with my pain, so he suggested he write a letter to my GP for a […]

08.05.19 – London

I haven’t blogged for a while because I’ve been feeling a little emotional over the past couple of weeks. I’ve been struggling with managing my ‘nerve pain’ which affects every aspect of life. I’m doing my best to keep going and have been seeking help and advice. My GP has increased the dosage of pain […]

31.03.19 – Wedding Vibes

I was at a friends wedding this weekend in Leamington Spa. I love a good wedding and this was definitely one of them. I haven’t been to a friends one before, but I assume there will be more to come now that we are getting to that age now. Errrrm, someone find me a groom? […]
