news

I have had a fairly productive day. 
The sun being out, always puts everyone in a better mood.

I have started tidying my room, and by that I mean you can actully see my desk, now that is rare. I also have a big list of custom cards that I am slowly working my way through. By big list, I mean about 10 hehe. But its all progress and my head is a wash with ideas for differnt things. This summer, I think that i might have a go at setting up my own etsy shop. So watch this space.

Chest clinic went ok the other day, though I had a big coughing fit in the waiting room and all the chest patients turned and glared as if to say, stay away. Dont blame them, I would do the same. ha. But, the doctor also heard me coughing and asked about the treatment I have had for my cough. He wants to take me in and dose me up with some more IVs, to try and kick this cough's butt. My arms are still bruised from the last lot of IVs two weeks ago, but I have agreed to give them another try. I was meant to go in today, but they have no spare beds yet, so they are going to phone me when they do have them. Whilst I am in, he also wants to put me on some nebulised antibiotics as a possible long term solution to managing some of these infections. Boo at more time on the nebuliser, but yay at the prospect of keeping my chest under control. 

Today, I was talking, well emailing a lady from the national transplant service. I had asked a while back if there was anything I could do this year to help promote national transplant week. Last year I had an article in the local newspaper. After some discussion, she wants to use my story on their website, complete with photo. So there is talk in the not to distant future of having a professional photo done to go with it. eek exciting. 

So good things are happening all around. 
I also have a few new readers. *waves* Welcome. I love getting comments on my blog. 

Did I mention that I have my visa appointment? Well thats something else exciting. 
Oh so much changing. 
I like change. 
I like feeling like this.

I be all famous.

So I be all famous and stuff like.

Ha ok maybe not, but it is a step in the right direction. This is the most active thing I have done towards encouraging organ donation and it feels like a big step. It is a big step. It is coming to terms with things and focusing on being positive. Its also about facing my fear of being recognizable. 

So, long story short, as a follow up to transplant week, I was featured in the Liverpool Echo. A whole page spread with huge (scary) photo of  me.


With the whole hospital dramas and such I have only just gotten hold of a real copy, but yay. Below is the scanned copy.

If you wish to avoid the scary photo, then it can also be viewed here (Liverpool stab victim who survived liver transplant urges people ...)

So yay and all that hehe.
Now I know what my surgeons are up to, they just want to get lots of signed  consent forms as they maybe worth something one day *giggles*
