26.03.22 – Liver – versary

Its been 4 years since my transplant! Can you believe that? I ended up looking after my first split liver transplant patient on the day of my Liver-versary a couple of weeks ago. It was an honour to do so. I didn’t end up telling the patient about what the day meant to me but […]

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 […]

22.05.20 – 12:41

Today I’m having a bad day. A bad week in all honesty. I’ve been feel really de motivated, unhappy, wanting to go back home, stressed, sad, teary and fed up. I need a hug but I can’t even have that, not even from my parents who I live with. The hardest was when one of […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

23.09.19 – My Second Home

So I’m back in hospital – as a patient *eyes roll*. I arrived here on Thursday 19th Sept, so I’ve only been here for a few days. Unfortunately I spent most of the weekend waiting around, but I managed to get an ultrasound scan on Friday which as expected, showed nothing. Hopefully having an MRCP […]
