News about Kathryn is available on the blog - link in bio
Back in the QE because my CRP is 180 and my body is doing silly things so I'm trying to be well for my birthday. Happy New Year!
Most of my top nine is based around being alive (and Christmas) and I'm going to do my best to celebrate that in 2020 💪🏻🎄
Your most festive gal is home and feeling incredibly happy and grateful to be home this Christmas. Hold your people tight 🤗🎄
Happy Christmas Eve 🎄
I've been discharged. I am home. I am not getting excited, just taking things very slowly each day until I'm happy. Stay calm.
Two good girls.
I got out for a bit today. It was great.
Met a good boy yesterday called Basil
Update: I don't know how long I'm going to be in here. Just give me Christmas.
Going to be here for another week at least. Feel like garbage. Come on liver, sort yourself out.
Basket of treats from Cats Protection pals! There is more stuff but I got excited and unpacked it all so imagine this but better.
Trying to make my view pretty.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner. The porridge was inedible, I had about four bites of the beef casserole, and a quarter of the sandwich. It is just hard.
It's happening again. The klebsiella is back so I'm on ward 727 at the QE and doing everything in my power not to end up in ICU again.
It is time.
Life currently.
Service station cinnabon! (from @richardbertinet)
