The thing that kept me going during 4.5mnth bleurgh hospital stay @GSTTnhs. My little daily escape where I'd put on 'normal' clothes & escape the ward to the land of music. It would be SO wonderful if every hospital had creative spaces like this. #music #therapeutic #gstt

A huge loss. R.I.P Haydn Gwynne. One of the loveliest, most professional, down to earth, hardworking humble, talented souls. She was so incredibly kind to everyone. Never will "Shine" sound the same again. Now it's your turn. "Shine bright HG" ✨✨🌠. #billyfamily #HaydnGwynne

Gastroparesis Awareness month. 2much 2say on how misunderstood it is given how debilitating it is. 1thing I've learnt tho is 2keep trusting myself. In hospital I was force fed cow milk thru a tube as treatment. I'm intolerant to cow's milk. Evidence below (cont in comments)

P. S.Complex interplay between hand pic& gastroparesis. For info Gastroparesis is a gut issue. But as we know the body is a whole & 1 out of whack system will affect another. Treating my crap stomach with something that makes the rest of my body go into turmoil isn't the one...

Not to mention the psychological damage done & how disempowered & gaslighted I was made to feel sadly during my treatment. This only made things worse.

Sometimes life is a wibbly, wobbly road. Gastroparesis has become horrible again. Vomited on a bus yesterday. On a bus. Good. Having a wayward time with the hospital. But the one thing that I always come back to when everything is a bit uncertain & shitty is this. #piano #music

Proper mixed feelings going back to the ward today. They say everything happens for a reason. Meeting Lilly is reason enough for anything. Absolute feking NHS legend. Whenever you feel sad, think Lilly. Are NHS staff incredible? Nuff said. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
