About this Blog

This blog started as an online diary and place for me to rant about annoyances in my family.

However since July it has become a place for me to catalogue and express my views and opinions on the treatment I have recieved following the diagnosis of a potentially cancerous tumor in my bowel.

On 3rd August 2011 I was told that it was cancerous. In April 2012 I was given the all clear.

October 15th 2013 I was diagnosed with peritoneal disease and liver metastases. The cancer was back and this time it is inoperable.

It is a little bit out of date as the NHS doesn't tend to have a WiFi connection in hospital and I can only post when I get home and posts take a while to write.

It is NOT about individuals or the nursing profession. It is about some of the inadequacies in the system and the way the NHS is failing some people.

toothache

I was unfortunate enough to have my wisdom tooth taken out today by something called conscious sedation. This was a thoroughly unpleasant experience. After an injection into the back of my hand, I was blindfolded and then it all goes funny. What I think I can remember is something being put in my mouth and then I think someone made a phonecall. I don't like this, I can't remember and feel violated.
But the tooth is out!!!

  1. Indeed, it feels great when the tooth and the toothache are out! Having the sedation done feels kind of funky and freaky, but it does help a lot in making sure the extraction is a lot less unpleasant.

    Well, good luck with the recovery and all. Rest well!
