Still here!

May 29th 2005,

The infection did reaspond to the antibiotics and I was able to come off them, but the following day it came back a lot worse! I am back on the antibiotics I REALLY want to go home!! I miss my house, my bed, and having people speak wlesh to me all the time! It's funny how you miss all the little things that you take for granted everyday.

My family and friends have been great! I am never short of visitors and I always know what's going on back home. I can't wait to be back home again and back out with the girls! I really miss our nights out, though we will be doing a fair bit of retail therapy once i'm home and the cinema too.

I saw a Dr regarding my hair loss this afternoon who said that he thinks it's due to the stress of the surgery, limited blood supply to the scalp for so long, anemia, and my body's way of saying ENOUGH!!! He is hopefull that it will grow back at some stage! NOT SOON ENOUGH FOR ME!!!!!! But he did say I will have to be patient!

I have lost a total of 23 pounds since my surgery, good in some ways but bad in other ways! My Dr's think i'm not eating enough or not getting enough calories! Have they tried the liquid diet??? Obviously not! I am sick of milkshakes, wheetabix, yoghurt and anything else that is liquid and not forgetting the poison LOL!!!! (soup!!!! after having soup for soo long after fistula repair when I was 8 years old I have hated soup ever since!!!).
