I’ve taken a huge step on my recovery. I’m now back at work!
Before my sicknote ran out I paid a visit to work. I was so pleased I did. The welcome I received was overwhelming. People are so kind welcoming me back and commenting on how well I looked. I never realised how much I had missed it.
I had a telephone interview with an occupational health consultant who asked me a variety of questions about how I…
We're back (Myself and Beryl (my stoma)) after a great week in Kos. The weather was fantastic. I didn’t see a cloud for the entire week. Sunny every day and temperatures not below 32 degrees centigrade.
I did have some concerns before departure. Mainly around the effect of the flight on my stoma pouch and also getting holiday insurance. I needn’t have worried about the flight. The only issue was that aircraft…
Hi. It’s me again. Apologies for not updating sooner but unfortunately (or should that be fortunately) life has got in the way.

The day itself started early. I duly arrived at 7:30 and was booked in. I saw my anaesthetist and a member of the surgical team and waited for them to confirm…

I'm still here and I intend to be here a damn sight longer!
Thank you all for your love, support and positively.
