Hey everyone 👋

I know we don't speak much but that's a good thing. Now a preparation for a long post with a question at the end. Prepare yourselves ....

So I had my recent appointment with Addenbrookes. Was a very thorough appointment. I had lung function test, bone scan, bloods and a long talk with specialist nurse Jo.

1st things 1st bloods was amazing ... all in the green ☺️ I always panic and get anxious with my bloods. So I obviously walked in a little sniffly. I stress myself so much I always have a cold or some sort of infection after any visit.

Anyway Jo asked every question you could think of. Discussing vaccinations to what my p**p is like 🤣 I felt at ease talking with her so we spoke about stuff I don't say in the phone consultations. Nothing of worry or stuff I should say as I'm not stupid. Faster you feel a change the easier it's to sort an all that.

After an hour chat she reassures me that I am doing fantastic and I'm to be easier on myself and my brain fog, occasional fatigue and very apparent anxiety with my health.

So overall a great visit and given me a little new spring (minus this run down cold I've got) 🤩

I'm always thankful for every day, especially thankful and special place in my heart for my pch team (as much as I no longer see them) and my addenbrookes team ❤️❤️

Now question is because my visits are far and few between do I keep this page up and running ? Thoughts in the comments below 👇👇👇

Happy birthday! 3 years and many more I hope ... the one day of year I'm truly humbled and thankful ! ❤️‍🩹 thank you you...

Happy birthday! 3 years and many more I hope ... the one day of year I'm truly humbled and thankful ! ❤️‍🩹 thank you you all my care team, nurses, hca and background nhs team 🥰thank you to my family and friends for supporting me through the hardest days🫂And a massive thank you for my sister Charlie Allen for being selfless and donating your dna and life saving stem cells🤩

My sister as well as some of my friends and family are a true reminder of how important it is to register to donate stem cells or even donate blood, platlets or plasma. It can and will save lives. If you want to be a hero or do that bit extra then register to donate on www.blood.co.uk or www.dkms.org.uk

🫂🥰 THANK YOU! 🥰🫂

Update time

So I had my bloods taken last Friday and some of my results were high. I of course googled and google told me all sorts of scary stuff. *reminder to self do not google stuff* 🫣

Spoke to my team today and she was not worried and just said it was an indication of an infection. Phew and is moving me to longer between appointments 😌

So what's new with me. Well I'm going to the gym (kept on down low from socials as didn't wanna jinx going) I have lost almost 5kg which is great and definutly trimmed down a dress size. Also the pain I was having in my feet and ankles has stopped! Win win 🥳

Another thing my hair has suddenly decided it remembers how to grow so I'm almost ready for my 1st style obviously a Bob but I can now put my hair in pigtails with a topknot. I've missed having hair that I can style! 💇‍♀️

Enough rambling how are you lot? Hope you are all well and loving the little things.

Love, hugs and sandy toes
Liz 😘😘

Been really bad at updating ... living life with alot of new beginnings this year already ✨️

So I've rejoined the gym and I've internally transferred jobs to a new store. Trying to regain strength and have time for family friends as well as any appointments. 💪

Bloods were all good at beginning of year ... they took 9 vials of blood 😬

Still recieving messages with the results ... some I understand others I don't but no phone call from hospital so all good 👍
