Sorry I kind of posted that before I meant to! Anyway in other health news I'm taking part in a study at the transplant unit to see how 2 diets could help reduce inflammation which is ultimately what causes issues with donor hearts. One groups is low fat, the other is Mediterranean - I will let you know if they uncover anything helpful. Also they might be writing up my case in a medical journal to help other hospitals hat end up with patients in a situation nearer to mine, as they had to make a lot of difficult calls due to the infection I contracted in hospital. I'll be glad if it can help others like they were able to help me at Wythenshawe. Now I'm looking forward to christmas and quite aware it's nearly a year since this situation all transpired. I'm just really anxious to have a good Christmas without any drama. Cross your fingers for me! Take care xx

Can't believe it's been so long that the whole website has changed! I've been meaning to update for ages. Health wise I am doing well, not rejecting. I've gone back to work for a couple of half days a week and had a stomach bug and a cold so far which i suppose is just what happens when you are immunosuppressed. I've tried to listen to everybody telling me to not do much. It gets a bit boring holding back so much though That said me and Laws are also in the middle of buying a house so we've got enough to be getting on with. Soon enough we'll have our first home and most importantly a dog to round off our little family. We're thinking of a French bulldog or cocker spaniel-poodle mix or welsh terrier or...well to be honest I would just love any dog. I think it'll be good to keep me exercising too. Now it is raining constantly in Manchester it's perfect weather for me to stay inside and hibernate :)
