I’ve been very lapse toward the end of this year in terms of writing posts and I know I can say that I will do my best to rectify the situation; but I know that will never be the case. I’ve put it down to poor time management and life has got in the way…

J-Pouch Tips
It’s been a while since I’ve written anything and that’s mostly to do with work, but also because I’ve not had the stamina to return home after work and write any posts, but it’s brought me to the conclusion that I need to write a post about tips I’ve taken on since having the J-Pouch….
Progress
It’s been well over 2 months since the operation and the recovery has been up and down. This is just a small post for my own sanity really. While I’ve enjoyed the luxury of sitting on the toilet, browsing random content and taking my time, I’ve suffered with the pain (both inside and outside) that…
Post Op #3
It’s finally happened. I’ve had the last operation and am well on the road to recovery. 2 weeks ago, I began the final leg of the journey and as per the previous two, I will lay it out in the same way (albeit much shorter). Day 0 – I arrived at the hospital around 6:50am,…
It’s Finally Happening!
I couldn’t believe it myself, but on Thursday I contacted my previous consultant to tell her that I was still struggling and awaiting the final operation. I contacted her on the basis that she would know of an alternative surgeon if it came to it. She got straight back to me and advised that she…
Health Update – August
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…
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…
