THE PET SCAN- THE FINAL ONE- 9TH NOV

 Hey guys, 

It's been a rollercoaster of a year for me. The day before the PET scan I was allowed to eat until 8AM in the morning. After that it was like fasting, except I was allowed to drink water. First I went to the Royal Infirmary for a procedure, It was quite painful. Then I went to Glenfield to the PET Scan centre. I got taken to a room, where a nurse injected me with radiation. I wasn't allowed to be around pregnant people, little kids, and anyone under the age of 18. I had to take off metallic items such as:

My glasses.

A top that had sequins on.

I got into the room, with the huge machine. I had to lie down on the bed. The nurse strapped my arms to my sides with this velcro thing. Then I was put inside the machine with bright lights. They scanned me, which took some time. I had to lie completely still like a statue. Anyway, after all that was over and done with; I had to go back to the Royal Infirmary to get a catheter removed. I went home and went to sleep. 

See you next time.

Have fun reading this on your screens, while you're relaxing on your sofas.

RINGING THE BELL

 Hey guys, Ringing the bell was a special experience for me. It was all about celebrating how far I'd come as a survivor of cancer. I got to the hospital and in the waiting room I was waiting for my sisters and brother and nieces. I wore a pink dress as pink is the main colour that represents cancer. I had to read a poem and got a certificate. I rang the bell and everyone cheered. Then I took a whole bunch of pictures with my siblings and mom and nurses. It was really exciting to get to do this as I have been waiting for so long. Now it's on to the next chapter of my life. I'm grateful for everything the nurses and doctors did for me so I could get a clean bill of health. I went home so proud of achieving this moment, which I'll remember forever.  That's all I've got for now. Enjoy.  Vote. Comment. Share.

BEING HOSPITALISED FROM 8TH TO 14TH OCT AND 19TH TO 21ST OCT

 Hi my amazing readers, Long time no see. I ended up in hospital cuz I wasn't feeling too great. I kept sleeping and my whole body was on fire. The pain was crazy. I went in and was admitted straight away. I was put on IV Paracetamol, fluids, had blood transfusions, had some medication for my sore mouth. Basically I had the full shebang. I had to be hooked up to machines, which wasn't fun, it was like Linc the Sink in Prison Break all over again. Remember when he was in the electric chair? I hated it, but it was making me better. I had to be moved to a bigger bay area where I had to share with another girl, I didn't talk much cuz I didn't want to get too attached. It's sad because you don't know what could happen to a person on your ward. I was constantly sleeping due to being on Amitriptyline, This is a medicine, which knocks you out so essentially it takes away all your pain. Then I had this jap called Deltaparin, which stops you from getting blood clots. The ...
