Its been 17 days since my surgery and Im healing well. My wound is closed and I have no pain in it, the scar is about 6 inches long and as it was stapled together I have the line and dots of a staple scar. A friend told me that after she had surgery, her […]
I thought Id do a post about diet, as it’s one of the questions I get asked a lot… What can you eat? In the long term, Im advised that I’ll be able to eat what I like within reason. That I will find my way with foods that agree with me and foods that […]
I think in general I am a fairly positive person. I really try not to wallow in self pity and I always try and find the silver lining. Not always of course, but on the whole I really try. I’m struggling at the moment. I want to shout and scream like a toddler. I want […]

I’m afraid there’s not much to tell today. I can’t really think of anything inspirational, interesting or witty to say!! That’s the worst thing about being in hospital I suppose, there are days where all you can do is swallow the meds, take the injections and rest. I’m no better and no worse today – […]
Day four didn’t start well, I was up late last night and then very early again this morning on the toilet. Not feeling great at all but the one saving grace is that on a gastro ward there is no embarrassment of bum noises as we are all as bad as each other!! I’m really […]
