Saturday night takeaway

I've just dropped off Big Girl to a friends house for a sleepover, collected dinner from Pizza Hut and settled down to watch Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway with Hubby, Big Fella and my parents. They are down for the weekend after getting an invite to Little mans christening on Sunday (besties baby). It's so nice that they're able to visit for nice reasons instead of making a mad dash down the M1 because I've been rushed into hospital. 

I'm so excited about the christening. Hubby and I have the honour of being Godparents to such a happy, contented little boy who we both love very much. I wanted to help Bestie to get sorted for the christening. She's hired a hall with a bar but is doing her own food. Now even though I do say so myself, I do amazing buffets and I wanted to do it for her so that she wasn't stressing on the day, running around and trying to do food, decorate a hall and make herself (and the rest of the family) look decent. 

Originally she went along with the idea (probably just to appease me and keep me happy) but now the plan has changed. Having this strange bug/virus this last week has knocked me off my feet and given her the perfect opportunity to kick me off the organising commitee. I think she wanted to find a way to say that she didn't want me to help her but she didn't know how to say it without me ending up like this...



So the bug came along just at the right time. She didn't want me to do stuff to help her not because she's horrible or mean or a bitch because she is none of those things. I've never met anyone with such a kind heart who would do anything to help someone in need. She said she would rather that I rest up and conserve my energy so that I was well enough not only to attend the christening but to enjoy it aswell. I was worried that she's taking on all the work but she's roped her sister into helping so it should be ok. What a great friend though. Some people would have accepted the help, without even considering the effect it would have on me. But she's called Bestie for a reason! 

At this very moment I'm sat on the loo having a drip, drip motion. Some people may think that's too much information but it's my blog and I can write what I like! While I'm drip dripping I'm also tap tapping away on my phone writing this and hoping to get off the loo and be able to go and join my family downstairs. I've been here for 20 minutes, hopefully I will be done soon!

The germs have got me 🦠

Being on azathioprine, influximab and prednisone is helping to control this recent Crohns flare up. But unfortunately they work by wiping out my immune system making me more susceptible to all the bugs doing the rounds. I refuse to stay at home and be held hostage by these meds though- for me they are there to give me my life back, not to make me a prisoner in my own house, so the inevitable has happened and I’ve got a cold.  ‘It’s only a cold’ you might think, but with no immune system to fight it off this cold has made me pretty poorly. Yesterday I couldn’t get out of bed and felt so, so ill. I was coughing and struggling to breathe so I’m pretty sure I’ve got a chest infection too. But I can’t confirm that because apparently even being immunocompromised with a suspected chest infection is not enough to see a GP these days!  I spoke to the receptionist at the GP surgery this morning who told me that all the urgent appointments for today were gone (and this was at 8.25am, aft...

It’s a full time job having a chronic health condition

Yesterday was a super busy day and today I’m knackered. I had 4 hospital appointments at 3 different hospitals and spent all day either sat in a waiting room or driving between hospitals!!  First off I had an appointment at 9am at the Treatment centre. This was to get my 3 monthly injection that puts me into menopause to control my endometriosis symptoms. Because it was so early I had to be organised the night before and make sure I was connected to my feed early. It runs for 12 hours and I have to factor in the time it takes to disconnect in the morning so I had to be hooked up by 7.30pm at the latest on Wednesday night.  After I had been jabbed in my bottom I went over to QMC hospital to see the specialist nurse on F22, the gastro ward. In January I had a new Hickman line inserted on the right side of my chest and where they removed the old line from the left side I had a wound that took ages to heal. For 6-8 weeks there was green gunk coming out what was basically a hole in...

Disability benefits cuts

So in Rachel Reeves spring statement earlier this week it was confirmed that there will be massive changes to the benefits system including the way that PIP is assessed and changes to the health element of Universal credit.  As someone who is receipt of both PIP and ESA disability benefits I find this whole situation…  🔲 terrifying  🔲 baffling  🔲 rage inducing  🔲 disgusting  🔲 [all of the above] I honestly cannot believe that a LABOUR government is looking to balance the books of the country by taking money from some of the poorest and most vulnerable in our society. This is the sort of thing I would have expected the Tories to do but when I voted Labour I honestly thought that not only would they look after and protect the neediest but they would actually make things in our society better and fairer. How wrong I was. Looks like I’m going to have to get some ‘Fuck Labour’ merch to go along with my ‘Fuck the Tories’ stuff I already own!  Now I do b...
