Hi All

Yup it’s me again!!

Had a Gastro appt last week – all seems ok, keep getting a pain in my right side may have a bit of narrowing going on at a join in my intestine so gonna keep an eye on that, apart from that all seems ok.

Had a check up at Haematology Tuesday – everyone seemed very happy – bloods looked good, put on some weight about 9 stone now – yup I’m a fat baldy lol but hey Rachael (the dietician) is happy and trust me it’s hard to make Rachael smile lol,
So now just a waiting game really – waiting to get better ………… waiting to get sick lol

But I do kinda find myself in an odd situation – or different situation – physically and psychologically!

With the Crohns as unpredictable as it is, I kinda got to know the sign and symptoms having had it for so long so in some ways always knew where I stood or what to look out for.

With this transplant and being formatted (immune system wiped) so to speak and having to be so so so careful of germs and virus’ it is kinda strange ……………….. Sometimes find myself sitting round waiting to get sick!! As gotta be careful for months, so its all very strange and so far I have been quite well (well not a bad a predicted) – really tired but not too bad.
Ooh and the tiredness is different! Yeah weird I know! Used to feeling fatigued with the Crohns, body used to give in first followed by the head but this is the other way round my head/brain gives up first its like I hit a mental wall – then the body follows (I think it has no choice as brain too knackered to make it move lol)

Well thats about it - dont go back to hospital til the 7th and 8th Dec unless summat goes wrong!!

Bye for now P xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
