This week almost turned out very differently, but in true skinner style I pulled myself together in time for this years @WHBTG ! a weekend of celebrating that all important conversation. shoutout to all the medical teams involved in making this weekend happen for me 🩷

3.5 months since discharge! Something I truly never thought I would say. Less than 2 weeks until surgery 2.0 and it’ll be those memories that carry me through🤍 #chronicillness #urostomy

If this helps even one person, I can safely say that i’ve done what I set out to do all those years ago! chronic / embedded uti’s are not only so misunderstood but the research surrounding them is underfunded, we deserve better! Newcastle Urology Newcastle Hospitals 🖤🤍
