Firstly, happy new year to one and all!
Unfortunately, due to another bout of sickness, I have once again been confined to the NHS for a period of time. This time was a new record of 17 days before escaping, I mean getting discharged!
For a change I was imprisoned in Leicester Royal Infirmary - Let me just say OMG!! And ye all the upper-case letters and exclamation marks were warranted!
I have had my eyes opened (& many other orifices but that is another story!) to lots of the inner workings of the NHS! For a supposedly Leicester Group there are marked differences between LRI and the General. I hope to never experience the Glenfield if that's okay! as that is mainly for hearts and so far mine seems to be working well!
I had pre-written a lot of this in my squiggle or handwriting about the cleanliness but having decided that I am not going to let things get to me - this blog will now be a lot shorter! However if you followed me on Farcebook you will already have played name that food & guess where the next needle is going...
I also probably do not make the most patient patient! But understand that I amused many people with my hallucinated texts and phone calls and apologies to those I scared. I would also like to have any interesting story lines sent back as these could be best sellers! I also want kudo for nearly reaching a temp of 40 degrees! 39.9 was my best!
However - to what I am really getting at -
I have also met some amazing people, there were the usual Angels & Demons, some amazing nurses and Doctors as well as some who just really....!
I also met some inspiring patients who are overcoming some terrible times and still smiling. Charlotte was the best friend I could have asked for, and really helped me come to terms with things as well as stopping me from getting low and sitting in my cave!
Which led me to meeting Matt Hampson (http://www.matthampson.co.uk/) & you have this in writing that I am going to dedicate some of my time this year to fundraising. I was also extremely grateful for the opportunity to take some photos and feel almost like my normal self! Well as normal as I ever was! So watch this space as I WILL be organising something!
I would also like to thank friends old and new for standing by me / putting up with me & special mention to Ze, Bob & Kate who would not let me spend NYE on my own in a grump!
I am not going to make any resolutions as it seems to set me up to fail, will continue to try to make the most of everything.
I would also like to make a quick mention to all the people who have helped me gain the confidence to get on stage and perform, as well as the fellow poets from The Stand and to the Core, Corby for all the opportunities and the chance to meet some awesome people.
Goodbye 2011, I learnt a lot - hello 2012 lets see where it goes!
