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 […]

13.01.19 – New Year, New Goals

I’m sorry that it’s been a while since I’ve blogged. As usual it’s been busy over Xmas and new year with friends and family. It’s been great! One of the best times I’ve had since I can remember but I put that down to feeling good. I’ve been back to work since and doing alright. […]

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 […]

14.12.18 – In Time For Christmas

She’s had her SECOND transplant! I was so happy to see her doing so well when I went to visit her in Critical Care. It was so odd to see it all from a different perspective, but at the same time it was fascinating. She was clearly in another world after all the pain relief […]

09.12.18 – Praying For Her 🙏🏼

I’ve just been to the hospital to visit a couple of people. One of which is a friend of mine. I met her on the ward when I was in hospital.she is currently waiting for a new liver. Every week I see her she looks more and more unwell, and it breaks my heart. She’s […]
