I made garlic and honey chicken with oven chips for dinner tonight. It was really tasty and surprisingly easy to make. (Recipe here)

I may have over-eaten again though today; I’ve had quite a bit of one of my Easter eggs this evening, not to mention having a large lunch and snacks throughout the afternoon. I know it’s not a bad thing though because I need to put weight on (I lost almost a whole stone whilst in hospital).

Day 1 at home

I actually slept properly last night. I did wake up a couple of times but it was definitely the best nights sleep I’ve had in months.
Even though I was up around eight, I’m not too tired this evening. I got my meds from the hospital and picked up a few bathroom supplies but other than that, I’ve been good and relaxed the whole day.
It’s helped my fiance is working from home this week so he can look after me. I’m starting to feel a bit more normal now.

Hopefully my last hospital selfie for a while; I’m going home today! I’m so happy I can finally get out of here and sleep in my own bed. It’ll be great to be back in my own environment too so I can heal better.

I hope everyone is having as good a day as possible. Sending hugs and spoons to all! πŸ’™

Monday update

I’m doing better today. My pain is fairly low at the moment so I’m on oral paracetamol, and my movement, although still a little stiff, I no longer need someone to help me around.
As for my stoma, it’s a little swollen but they said that’s normal. I’m used to emptying the bag and changing it is becoming easier. The nurses said they are impressed with how well I’m doing and the doctors said I may be able to go home by the weekend.
Fingers crossed because I really would like to be back in my own environment soon.
