The reason why I haven’t posted about my health recently is because there isn’t much to say. I’m still on the waiting list, I’m still on there as “Urgent” and I am still chasing it up almost daily. To touch on the last one, my skin seem reluctant to hear, even though I have been…

Health Update – June
I’ve been meaning to write a post for a while but have ended up putting it aside each time I come to it. Now is a good time to write about how I’m doing, what has happened since my last health post and what the plan is moving forward. Let us start with how I’m…
My 5 Tips – Living with a Stoma
This will be a relatively short post, but I’ll do my best to give as much information for why I have chosen each tip, so here goes. 1. It does get better. Trust me, you may feel absolutely terrible after you have your stoma initially, but it does get better over time. If you’ve…
Latest Health Update
Last week I attended a follow-up appointment from my 2nd operation. It wasn’t fully what I was expecting though. I walked in expecting to be told that I was doing fine and that my next operation would be in the next couple of months. Only to be told that although I am doing well, my…
New Year (2018)
We’re already a week into the new year and I haven’t made any resolutions. I’m not sure if that’s because I know I won’t stick to them, or just because I haven’t thought of any worth keeping to. Most of the things I’ve thought about are general. Like; taking more photos, writing more blog posts,…
Post-Op #2
Just over three weeks ago, I had my second operation out of the three. This time, it’s a little easier to get straight on to writing out the post, as I don’t feel as drained as I did from the first. Strange, considering this was the hardest and most intense out of the three. I’ll…
Phase 2 – Pre-op
I received my letter to attend a pre-op assessment for the second phase of my surgery. Little bit excited, but at the same time I’m a little bit scared. You’re probably wondering why, after I just went through the first stage. It’s still the unknown; completely different from the first and I really don’t know…
Post-Op
Three weeks ago, I headed into what would be one of the biggest plunges in my life. Little did I know just how much could change during my time in hospital. I arrived on the first day (20th June) at around 6:49am. 11 minutes before the letter advised. Why, I hear you asking; because I…
Health Intro
There’s something about me that I haven’t posted yet, and it’s something that I have decided to include due to the drastic journey I am about to embark upon. 4 years and 5 months ago, I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis (or for you health freaks out there, Pancolitis). I have been dealing with the…
The Beginning
I’ve left it a long time before starting a blog, so you may find me back-peddling to relative items in previous years that don’t exist here yet. I’ll do my best to fill in the gaps where possible. This initial post may be a bit blunt and lacking in content, but rest assured there will…
