Married at last 14/05/2016

On the 14th of May 2016, I married my long term partner Kim after many and I mean many years together.

That was us back in August 2011 getting on the London Eye, at this point I believe we had been together 11yrs... I may be wrong.....



Our wedding was a family affair, we were married at Canterbury Registry Office in front of select friends and family, my brother CJ and my close friend Sandra gave a reading and after many photos, some ruined by me we left the registry office in a white BMW onto our 'do' at the White Cliffs in St Margaret's.

Our Wedding Day was a beautiful day and many tears were shed,  by my dad mainly while my sister proudly had a photo board full of photos of Kim and I from our former years.  I gave a long speech, akin to my former Golf Speeches as Lady Captain.  The cake was cut and wine was drunk and some steadily left while others were happy to stay the night and drink on till the early hours with Kim and I.

 I wore a dress which was a surprise to many,  as except from my sister and parents nobody knew about my dress.  The dress was something I chose myself and it came from John Lewis, it was the first dress I saw and I just knew immediately it was the dress for me.  Kim didn't know about the dress, I managed to keep it a secret even from her.

Kim looked beautiful in her trousers, shirt and waistcoat and everyone at the reception loved her many changes of shorts and flip flops.



I proposed to Kim in a very private way which will remain between us both and we organised the wedding, well Kim organised the wedding without any stress or hiccups.
The idea to get married was not only because we love each other but we have to ensure Kim has rights to have a say medically during my many hospital stays and in return, I have gained official rights to nag her.
We have not long had out first official married anniversary, I think we may survive a couple more.

My tunnelled line

My central line was inserted on the 16th June at Kings, central lines can also be called a skin-tunnelled central venous catheter or Hickman or even a Groshong Line. The lines are long, hollow tubes made from silicone rubber. My neck was checked several times for a suitable vein using ultrasound technology, this areas was then cleaned thoroughly with antiseptic solution.  They used a local anaesthetic to numb the area and then made a small cut in my skin near my collarbone on my right side, this is the Insertion Site.  This site was secured by stitches. The tip of the line was then gently threaded into the large vein above my heart. The other end of the line was then tunnelled under the skin and an exit area was made in my chest and secured via stitches, I was then x-rayed to ensure the line was in the correct position.  The lines (I have 2) are sealed with a bung and the lines have been heplocked to avoid clotting and are clamped during non use. This exit are...

Feeling Regrounded

By -
This afternoon, while having my first session of plasma this week, I overheard a conversation concerning an EOL (end of life) plan, the curtains are not soundproof and actually they were not even drawn properly.   The conversation upset me grately as the patient was very concerned about not upsetting her sons, ensuring her sons would be financially ok, wanting to just die in her sleep so as not to upset them and the hope of having one last cuddle with her grandson.  On leaving the ward, the patient said to me 'see you later Kiddo', I will never forget how that made me feel and will always remember the smile on her face.  On the way to the car I felt very emotional.  My thoughts racing.   It’s so much easier in life to sit outside a situation than be in it.  I cannot begin to understand how it feels to be in a position like the lady this afternoon.  This made me start thinking about life.   How many people choose the safe ...

I have not posted for a while, I was poorly and at rock bottom from October 2019 till just after Christmas and I became very withdrawn.   2020 -  I was poorly, turnt 41, had a mini break with my sister to Bath, had a lovely break in Yorkshire with my wife and our dogs.  I set out to read around 30 books and read close to 100. I spent a lot of time thinking.   In early 2020, I had a chat with an old work colleague, I still remember the times we would be silly and laugh like drains.  My old colleague is a beautiful person, an extremely talented NHS Professional and it's nice to talk about real life and the shit that's happening rather than just passing the time of day.  We both learnt things about each other and opened up a little.   I now have a beautiful little niece and I am looking forward to what 2021 brings, it's March 30th and the sun is shining and I am sat with India in the garden.  So, after spending a year in shielding and ...
