I am trying to raise funds to raise awareness myasthenia gravis which is a condition which affects the muscles responsible for chewing, swallowing and breathing.

So this is my last trachy diary post because,,,,,,,,,
There is no trachy. It came out at 11 yesterday. I still have some rehab to do and can't eat or drink yet so still have the gastric catheter.
I can walk about 100 metres with a frame and my speech is getting stronger.
Thank you to everyone for your support and best wishes. It really did make a difference.
I didn't raise enough money to have a book edited or formatted so I am going to self publish on amazon. All funds raised so far and any profits from e-book sales will go to st Richards. I'll let you know when its ready but look out for "Hard to Swallow - my trachy diary"
Thanks again, stay safe in these troubled times, look after yourselves and each other and make pies not war ❤❤❤❤

Hi guys
A quick update from trachy land. So other than a brief couple of hours overnight rest period here and there I'm breathing for myself and unventilated.
I have managed to say a few words and have had a couple of sips of water. There's still a way to go but the end is in sight.
Managed to walk 60 steps yesterday with a frame. I'm well pleased with that I was pretty much bed bound a month ago.
Thanks to everyone for their continued kind words and support. See you all soon.

The dieticians at the hospital printed a couple of my (unfinished) drawings on a t shirt for me. How sweet. I guess I'm now an unemployed fashion designer as well as an unemployed chef.
Christian Dior can kiss one of my arse cheeks while Gordon Ramsey kisses the other 🤣
Happy Christmas everyone from HDU

Ok family and friends.
The plan is to come off the ventilator on boxing day. I'm off it for 8 hours a day now and planning to come off it altogether on Saturday.

I will still have the trachy for a while until I learn to swallow and to breathe and cough through my mouth and nose again but after Christmas no more fu**in ventilator

Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤

Stood up with a zimmer frame and took a few steps today. Up to 3 x 1 hour breathing off the ventilator.
The consultant saw some of my cartoons and asked why I hadn't drawn my favourite doctor.

I don't know what my love of British science fiction has got to do with anything but there you go.....

So when I was in Southampton I suffered total respiratory failure whilst waiting for my op.
Thats why I've got the funky tubing now.
There were heavy purple privacy curtains in my room that started to look like something else. Only just made it through the night.

If you wish to donate to an awareness raising book you can via PayPal mgbreathless@gmail.com
Thanks to everyone who has ❤😁

Hi trachy fans
So I'm up to 4 half hourly sessions of vent free breathing. No cartoon today but a design for a tattoo when I get out which is an omega inside an mg. My condition is mg and omega is the sign for resistance.

I don't often listen to podcasts but when I do everybody needs to talk to me suddenly!!

Bloody cleaner leaning halfway across me bed and looking over my shoulder to see what I'm doing on the phone. Please respect my personal boundaries. I'm trying to take a p**s ffs

Good day today in trachy land. Smashed 30 minute stints off the ventilator. Will be building up to an hour at a time this week. Below is a picture of me dreaming about the goodies I'm going to enjoy, licorice allsorts that I'm craving and a photo of me and me santander beard off the vent. Note the lovely big hole in me throat.
Much love to all
