A lot of sleeping the last few days. Body is depleted. After chemo and immuno last Thursday it’s just been pouring out both ends. I’m like a shriveled pea. 😳🥴.

Really skinny at the moment. Having more fluid drained from abdomen so my tummy has a bit of space for food. It’s a journey. It’s not easy. Baby steps. Still have the end goal in sight where myself, Adrienne and the girls are walking on the beach with our future golden retriever

Getting a 4 hour drip at home is a lot easier when a little fur ball is keeping me company 😀✨

Still out of breath doing the smallest things, especially with drainage tube still in my chest, but walking a little further each day without my cane for support.

Yesterday was 10 hours of drains and drips. Today… sitting in the garden enjoying fresh air and sunshine. Oh yes, and Prince Harry’s new book too. 😀👊🏻✨

Back at hospital having a few liters of fluid drained from my abdomen. One day at a time. Step by step the healing happens. 👊🏻🙏🏻✨

Just to keep it real. I smile a lot in pics, but there’s also moments after heavy coughing or vomiting that I’m exhausted and need a moment to catch my breath. It’s about acknowledging those moments… and then standing up again.

Spending 5 hours in the chair today for a blood transfusion. Like the bionic man… “we will build him better, stronger, faster…”. ☺️

After 64 days, 7 procedures and losing almost 15kg, today… I go home!

Still have a tube coming out my side & will have a home nurse looking after me as I slowly build my strength, but nothing beats the healing power of being home with loved ones,the fresh air and garden. 😀🙏🏻

When you wake up from the anesthetic and realise your partner is there holding your hand.

I love you my Adrienne. 🙏🏻❤️

Would have been nice being home for Christmas. More important though is who you spend it with 🙏🏻. Adrienne, the girls and I making the most of the room 😊💕.

Thank you to Lloyd and the team at HOT102.7FM for supplying the traditional Christmas dinner and decorating the room! 🎄

Hospital Day 50 something: Yay! My girls came for a visit!

Everyone asks when I’m going home. My answer: 3 weeks ago ☺️. Having another procedure done tomorrow. Hopefully soon!🙏🏻✨

Two of many great things about no longer being in ICU: no more green gown…. and my girls get to visit! 🙏🏻😀✨

After 30 days in an ICU bed, I’m skinnier than a toothpick, but… I’m out of ICU! 🙏🏻.

Enjoying the calm environment of General Ward, having my own quiet space… my own loo! 😊.

One step closer to being home 👊🏻✨

Hospital Day 27. Cabin fever is real. So Adrienne brought me a teddy to make the room feel more homely 😊

Still got a few days here. Missing home, missing loved ones, missing radio. Thanks for all the wishes on my posts. I appreciate every message. 🙏🏻✨
