Get a summer body (and other such crap)

Wait, what the fuck is a summer body? Is it better than an Autumn body? That big glowing ball of light and warmth is warming up the air temperature slightly and so it is time for every magazine and website to start telling us to get ‘beach ready’, get a ‘bikini body’ and starve, scrub, […]

The time has come…

For me to get blogging.  Apologies again for my absence, I really don’t know what to write about as I can barely understand how I am feeling right now, but I feel bad for not documenting this part of my journey and I know Ill probably regret it if I don’t.  I am also so […]

Apologies

I just wanted to say a quick ‘I’m sorry’ for not blogging much at the minute. This surgery has hit me so much harder than last time and I just have no inspiration to write. It’s an odd feeling for me as usually writing is my escape and feels so cathartic but right now I’m […]

Finally…

I am home. Thank you to everyone who sent me messages, cards and gifts. Who called, texted, visited and helped us out as a family this last 10 days. I’m exhausted and still in pain, not ready to write down my experience yet but just wanted to do a quick post now I’m back home […]

I've had a strong word…

With myself and all is good again… Still tired but not so Mardy (Grumpy for those not from Yorkshire) A good days work (Including welding and hammering, ALWAYS good) and a decent bit of time with Sam today has done the world of good… AND Ellie our fantastic daughter made buns… they we’re awesome. So […]

Tired and Mardy…

The kids and I went to see Sam tonight and she’s doing ok. The sickness is easing but she’s in a fair bit of pain. They have set up a good pain management plan but if she leaves it a bit too long then it’s sore for a few hours, especially her bum… To be […]

Hospital Update… on the mend.

3 days after surgery and Sam is already well on the mend. Woohoo. We’ve had some ups and downs, but now things seem to settling some what. Sam’s blood pressure and temperature have both been a bit like a yoyo but she is settling down more and more with each passing hour. Tonight she’s had her […]

Post Op News…

Hi Everyone, Timm here. So yesterday Sam went in to theatre at around 8 am, she was 1st on the list so no waiting around. The op lasted around 4 hours and I called at 1pm and she was in recovery and  they said she was doing ok. I finally got to see her in […]

Surgery Eve…

Tomorrow is the big day, pouch surgery is upon me. I’ve been so stressed and scared for weeks but now I feel quite calm. Still frightened but the shaky, out of control fear has stilled. I have had so many messages, texts, emails and calls that I feel truly blessed to have so many wonderful […]
