4 years, wow.. to think that 4 years ago today I was saved. Stevie saved my life, gave me a second chance, gave me a new life. Sometimes when I think back I feel how surreal it all seems.. to think that ulcerative colitis nearly took my life.. a slow and painful death.. 4 years…
This is the view as I left my therapy session earlier today. Isn't it beautiful, to think this green patch is right in the middle of Malmö. I am so happy I had a session booked in this afternoon cos man did I need it! Today has been shit on shit! A shitty doctor making…
3 years ago today I took one of the most difficult steps in my life. One of many I realise now. For those of you who don't know, today marks the 3 year day of my move to Sweden, or back to Sweden. Having lived in the UK for 11 years and always saying how…
Happy New Year! Happy new me. What a crazy year I have had. It's been filled with so many goods and so many bads. I have been lucky enough to do some travelling - hugely thanks to Axel - having been to (Hull of course) Budapest, Bornholm and Nice. All of which were first times…
Finally take my last blood thining shot today! Thank god! I've had to take them myself for 2 weeks now and it's been hell each time! They aren't actually that painful as the needle is quiet small but mentally it's awful jamming a needle into you leg! Which by the way has been completely brushed…
Had a couple of tired days now, so it's been nice just laying on the sofa relaxing, reading my book, doing some sudoku, and talking to mum and Axel when he's been here. I've finally taken my last cortisone tablet after being on it for 6 weeks. I am very happy to be off them…
Evening all, today's been one very tired day. I over did it yesterday being over ambitious with the amount I could handle in one day so I slept like a baby last night and been extremely sleepy all day. I had a strange dream that Axel came home with about 10 people , 5 of…
Tonight I ate out for the first time since my operation and the first time in I can't remember how long! We ate dim sum, first time I tried it too! Some of the dishes were really tasty! At first my old feelings of fear kicked in - where's the toilet, I hope the queue…
Friday the 21st of October After returning from the concert last night on an adrenaline high I had to start drinking the prep (laxation) for the colonoscopy. It was one of the looongest nights. The drink tasted of salty plastic, and if I drank too much too fast I felt sick. It was awful. You’re…
Last night was one of the best nights sleep I've had in months! I did wake up a couple of times but I slept well between wakes and it has made such a difference, I forgot how good it was to sleep! When I was in the middle of my bad flare I would spend…
