Thursday, 7 June 20127.21pm I can hear my eldest son making home made pizza so I thought that it would be a good time to get out of the kitchen and let you know what has been happening. On the cooking front I have had the thinnest victoria sandwich cake ever baked for me by my 13 year old son...

you take care and try and stay healthy

Am definitely going to read that post. A moving train that has to be an all time classic story! Thanks for the continued support xx

How have you been keeping?

Oh my gosh - wooden walls!!! Thought a hole in the ground and no door was bad enough, I had that when I was in China. You have to laugh!!

Thanks David, it is bizarre what is going on with the food here, They spend roughly 0.80p per person per meal which is outrageous. It is also a false economy as good nutrtious food would enable patients to recover quicker, get out of hospital quicker and therefore save the NHS money. Hope you...

From Crohns Disease to Bowel Transplant After a week of eating and new found optimism in my bowel transplant world things started to go a little wrong again. Late last week the sickness returned and with it the usual concerns. Surely the botox couldn't have worn off that quickly? I mean it had...

Glad you feel that my story is of use and helpful to others. Thanks for reading it as always x

25 May 2012 It has now been a week since returning from my last stint in hospital and for me so much has happened but that may not seem the same to you reading this. I guess for me it has always been about taking small steps forward, always knowing that I have a goal to aim for and coming home...

from Crohns to a bowel transplant latest update 230412 am honest I didn't expect this blog post to still be coming to you from room 2 on the transplant ward. I guess that I had hoped I would be home by now. It is really a case of good news and frustrating news since we last spoke. The...

Feed is on mostly during the day. Like you it used to keep me up all night and often caused problems so I lug around the feed and ruck sack during the day. I haven't been able to work properly for the last couple of years but I am conscious that I do need to get going as we need to get some...

Know how you feel. Can't get rid of my own cold - had it for about 3 weeks. Wish you better very quickly xx

You are too kind. We all do our best, after all we are this pretty small family and if you can't help family then who can you help! Hope you are doing ok and take care xx

I really appreciate your thoughts and comments, it is a huge help having friends around the world to help you through the ups and downs. You take care and a big hug back!!

From Crohns Disease to a bowel transplant how did I get there 100412 Well it has been almost a week since I blogged last and I thought that it was time for a further bowel transplant update. In truth there hasn't been a huge physical difference over the past few days. The reality is that I...

I was back at Oxford today for a fairly routine update. I say routine because as usual in my bowel transplant world I needed to have my regular bloods done. Thirteen test tubes waiting to be filled with my "blue" blood. Thankfully the wonderful phlebotomist was back from her Sri Lankan holidays...

So not embarrasing I know how you feel completely. As many as you have it is still agony and I just wish they would completely knock me out!! I am delighted that they managedto get the scope right through, did they manage to put a balloon through the stricture? very painful I know but wondered...

Hi David, for some reason I think that I have just seen this post so please forgive my rudeness in not responding. I hope that my updates have continued to be of use to others out there. Sincere apologies again

you are incredibly kind and your support means a lot. You keep well please!!
