Got home yesterday so made up to see my kids and my family have been amazing.

I'm back in hospital on Tuesday Thursday and Saturday then next week I'm in on 24th 25th and 26th 3 days as I'm having an op on my stomach. Then it's back to 3 days a week until I can do home dialysis. Oh and the 25th is my birthday.

Im feeling positive but the over all life changes I have to make is hard now but I'm looking at it as time goes on I'll get used to it.

I have to weight myself daily and take my blood pressure daily. But I have apps to track them.

The amount of meds I have to take is crazy just need to see my GP on Monday to discuss future care and if I have to pay for meds or not as I have a life long illness now.

Hopefully I'll get a medical exempt certificate if not I'll get a pre payment plan which is 10er a month.

Looks like I'm on self isolation until June other than my hospital appointments.

It's a scary time everyone stay safe.

I'm hopefully going to be well enough to go to the Manchester Con now its moved to August depending on what happens with the virus.

This week of isolation has been interesting I've finally cleared the 100s of unread emails.. I will keep on top of it now! Haha

Dialysis has been going OK I'm doing evenings now 7pm till 12am. On Tues Thurs and Sat.

It's all going well the diet is difficult but everyone is helping me with it.

Keeping a positive attitude is key in the current world we live in.

So I'm taking binge watching to a new level.

Netflix released the new season of Brooklyn 99 I watched irmt all yesterday..

Disney plus is ok I can see it getting better over time when they add the marvel TV show.

Star trek Picard was really good.. If its got Seven of Nine in its gonna be good simple. Haha

In health news I'm having my PD opp next week going in on Tuesday should be home after dialysis on Thursday.. It takes 2 to 4 week to heal hopefully 2 then I can do dialysis at home.

In other stuff I'm struggling with the diet I really miss Pizza and chips. The renal diet is so restricted on what I can and can't eat.. But I suppose its only for a few years.

Operation when we'll I think. Lying down staying still while they dig into my tummy was difficult. I almost past out once. But they where good.

My stomach is killing one more night in hospital and Netflix just put Howl's Moving Castle on today so there is that to watch after a well earned sleep.
