I am still recovering from the fundo, but slowly bit by bit I am introducing different foods back into my diet. I was fed up of taking pain killers so stopped them, cold turkey. I instantly felt abit better. I was so pleased when I was able to drink my first cup of tea. Swallowing tablets isn't too much of an issue now as long as I do it slowly & one at a time, I am hoping that this may improve, as I used to swallow my creon 6 tablets at a time because I take so many with food, it gets abit frustrating!
Anyway, as long as I chew the crap out of my food & slowly eat it, I don't seem to be having too much hassle. All be it very small portions, (toddler / children sized meals) because I fill up so quickly, but I have managed soups, hotdog sausage & noodles, over the weekend, a chicken parcel wrapped in bacon & saute potatoes & even a small roast! I was even able to slowly eat a slice of cheese & tomato on toast when my friend Darren took me to lunch on Friday - I was so chuffed! I am really hoping that I get to enjoy my Christmas treats now without too much pain!
On Thursday I had my trip to Harefield, I went along with my Ladylungs for company & also CFer Neil was attending too - Dave & I went to visit Keith & Mandy who were on the ward at the time (I put my head round Janka's door as well but she was fast asleep) The clinic started really early & again I got to see my consultant, who was really chuffed that I was recovering ok & apparently looking 'so well' - He took me off my fungal antibiotic which means I need to have blood tests very frequently for the next few weeks because my tacro levels will plummet & need increasing, but after a little talk I chanced my luck & asked if I could be seen in the New Year... He agreed & after giving him a little chocolate treat for Christmas we both left the room smiling! I was so pleased I brought in some goodies for all the staff as I really do not wish (in the nicest way possible) to see them until the first week in January!
On Sunday my sister held a charity christmas coffee morning & craft sale at Follaton hall in Totnes, I got there a little early, helped set up & then helped out at the cake table for an hour until I was too tired & went home to rest. It was a great success & she made £322.02 towards her trek in aid of Live Life Then Give Life.

Charity Coffee Morning
Yesterday I had my first lot of bloods taken for my levels, then went to see Dave & Marie until my appointment at Exeter to have the horrible corflo tube in my tummy changed back to my little mickey button. I was so relieved when it was done, just another step in the healing process & made me feel a lot better in myself.

My charity bags have gone down brilliantly, I only have 9 left & will put another facebook post up later in the week to let people know. I am very grateful to all those who have supported me & bought a couple, thank you.
It's the 3rd December today & I really hope that other than a few blood tests, I have seen the back of any hospitals this year. I have the next couple of weeks to really get into the festive spirit, enjoy seeing some special friends & then hopefully have a perfect crimbo. None of which would be possible if it wasn't for my donor. xxx
