Update on my journey

Kirsty, you have really been through the mill, I have read your profile too.  Thank you so much for detailing this in case anyone else comes along with your profile, it will be enormously helpful to them.

I am so relieved that you have recovered from the sepsis, everyone must have been on high alert for you at the hospital and it is such a relief to know that you are surrounded by caring staff, you certainly need (and deserve) nurturing.

I am keeping everything possible crossed that everything is clear.

Big hugs

Hi Suz,

Thanks for having a read! It’s quite cathartic to me actually and I think will help me remember how far I have come (hopefully) in the next days/weeks/months. Also I hope it shows that it is a mammoth op but they would not offer it if they weren’t confident with the outcomes. 

Best wishes

Kirsty

Hi Irene, yep I do feel like I have been hit by a few trains! 

I found Ewok  had a similar useful account so will try and keep up myself in case anyone else also finds the same.

I am off the antibiotics now but will see how it goes. I will take literally whatever I need because this is very hard and painful, no two ways about it!

Best wishes

Kirsty

Hi MrsKS ,

Can I just say this is an amazing thing you’re doing, making an account of your recovery from such major surgery will be so helpful to others facing the same & also I should imagine be quite therapeutic for yourself. Have you considered doing a blog? 

I know it’s very early days & it can be a bit of a haul but I’m wishing you a problem free & speedy recovery. 

Thinking of you. 

Nicola 

Holding you extra close in my heart today, Kirsty, as you navigate the morphine express. Stay ahead of the pain!

Big hugs

Suz
