Thank you if you’ve been following my 30 day challenge in April, to write up my teenage diary and raise awareness of Pituitary conditions. I can’t believe it’s the last day of April already and I’m relieved that I didn’t miss a day! The Pituitary Foundation will also be very grateful for any donations, being a …
Ke and I had a little wander around the hospital, as we were both feeling a bit restless, so I pushed her in her wheelchair. I remember the next days well now, which is good, as I’m looking through dad’s notes a month later. I had a good lunch again, which I certainly appreciated! I …
Mum arrived at Great Ormond Street Hospital at 8.30am this morning (she was good wasn’t she, as mum usually gets up an hour later, if that). Dad’s written that I had a new head bandage. He and my brother arrived at 2.30pm, after a large meal at ‘My Old Dutch’ the pancake place. Dad very …
Written up 24th May 1984 using dad’s notes. I had a bath this morning, which I remember quite well and it was nice at the time but I felt so tired afterwards. It drained me, even though it wasn’t that hot. Mum pushed me around the nearby park in a wheelchair and it was very …
Writing this up on 24th May 1984. I’m feeling much better (so dad’s written) and I had my stitches out, hurray! I still had to wear a bandage though but in a way I felt better with one on, especially when going outside, as I was afraid of bits getting in my hair. S came …
K and her dad came today, which I cannot recollect at all. Hardly surprising I suppose as my memory isn’t very good after the op and I’m writing this up a month later, from my dad’s notes! I wasn’t feeling too bright, so poor old K couldn’t have had much fun. I sort of remember …
Very hot and sunny. In fact so hot my mum tells me that she went home to collect summer clothes and flip flops! She found the under floor heating in Great Ormond Street Hospital too hot as well. A bit of a contrast to 2024, where we seem to have gone back to winter! Mum …
I can’t remember this at all, as I’m writing this 4 weeks adrift (May 24th) but I’ve got good old dad’s notes. However I’m afraid the notes are a bit thin for the next few days. Mum and my brother came and I’m feeling okay. I ate well and had good food, which I think …
Still haven’t a clue about the weather but my brother has been recording the temperature for me, at home. Dad says I slept well, which is good isn’t it. Mind you I then got very uncomfortable. Dad arrived at 7 am, he was so good. It’s funny writing all this from dad‘s notes a few …
Still no idea what the weather was like. Mum and dad arrived very early 7:30 am, which was very good of them. I’m still copying dad‘s notes as I haven’t a clue what happened but dad said I was better. I had my first drink of water this morning apparently and then carried on steadily …
