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. 🙏🏻✨ #dontstopbelieving

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 👊🏻✨ #dontstopbelieving

Wow! Just won BEST WEEKEND RADIO SHOW at the SA Radio Awards! 😀🥂✨. Thank you for that ovation! Brought tears to my eyes. I may be in the hospital bed, but I’m there in spirit! Thank you! 😀🥂🙏🏻✨

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

Hospital Day… thirty something (I’ve lost count) ☺️ Adrienne. My rock. By my side every single day. I love you baby. ❤️

Hospital Day 43: Adrienne wrapping me like a Christmas tree for a quick HOT102.7FM video from the hospital. 😀🎄

Hospital Day 47: had another procedure yesterday. Doing a bit of recovery today🤞🏻🙏🏻. Being in this room 23 hours a day, I’ve turned into the real Spider-Man… I can climb walls!☺️🥴 Hopefully home soon! #dontstopbelieving

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!🙏🏻✨ #dontstopbelieving

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! 🎄

When you wake up from the anesthetic and realise your partner is there holding your hand. I love you my Adrienne. 🙏🏻❤️

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. 😀🙏🏻

I love you my Adrienne… 😀🥂💍❤️

Treatment continues. Receiving my next dose of immunotherapy. Healing. #dontstopbelieving

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

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. #dontstopbelieving

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

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. 😀👊🏻✨

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. #dontstopbelieving

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

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. 😳🥴.
