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? […]

28.03.19 – Birthday Time

Yet another birthday spent in hospital. Luckily I was well enough to go home in the afternoon to spend time with friends. Instead of hospital dinner, which isn’t as bad as some make it out to be, we ordered pizza 🍕. I went home on Thursday 20th so I was able to celebrate properly at […]

15.03.19 – Liver-versary

Ahh! A moment of euphoria seeing myself on TV! I was on ‘The One Show’ last week talking about my experience with organ donation, how great I feel and honoured to have been given a second chance of life. It was also my first liver transplant anniversary last weekend, so I celebrated it as a […]

25.02.19 – My Mind Wonders..

Last weekend was spent at home ‘relaxing’ and recharging for this week. It’s not easy for me to relax, sit down and just stop. I find it quite challenging as my mind is constantly thinking about so much. Distraction is my best method of avoiding overthinking. Questions go through my head like, ‘Am I enough?’, […]

20.02.19 – Keep Pushing On

I’ve asked to increase my hours again by an extra hour a day. I’m managing to keep up with help of short breaks when I can. I still rely on a lot of sleep. I got home after an early shift on Monday, fell asleep on the sofa for an hour and still managed to […]

16.01.19 – Lazy Bones

I’m feeling lazy this week. I’ve got no motivation and on my days off I’m waking up mid morning. Oops! I hope my dad doesn’t read this! I can’t shake the idea from my head that he’s training for the London marathon at his age, so that’s making me feel even more lazy. I’m not […]

22.12.18 – Home Today

I’m keeping my fingers crossed to be discharged today. I’ve just seen the Dr and if I feel well enough, they can let me go home! Woohooo! I have so many presents to wrap and organise ready for when I go home on Monday. My flat mate has been collecting my parcels from the concierge […]

18.12.18 – Cholangitis

I’m back in my second home, the hospital. I spend so much time in them either working, visiting or as a patient. This time I’m a patient again. It’s nothing to worry about, as I’ve only got an infection which is easily treated. I’ve been here since Sunday morning and having IV antibiotics for 5 […]
