Morning. It's Friday. I'm not feeling good this morning. I'm feeling tired and the
00:15
realization of it all is sinking in I think. My head hurts and I'm dosed up on
00:24
morphine. I think they're gonna send me home today, probably, or tomorrow, which
00:32
is good in some ways because it means I get to see the kids. It's a bit easier
00:36
and I'll be in my own bed but I don't feel like I'm kind of able to do much as
00:43
well so in a way it's been nice being here because people do things for you. So
00:51
I'm still waiting at the moment but I think that'll be the plan and I'll
00:56
update you as I get any more news. Hi. So I've just done a really stupid thing and
01:06
Googled the name of my tumor and everyone says don't Google but I couldn't
01:15
not do it so I did and now I wish I hadn't done it. No one had told me how
01:21
big the tumor was or where it was and I just asked one of the nurses because I
01:26
wanted to know and it's three centimetres by three centimetres by 2.6
01:34
centimetres and it's sitting behind my eye which explains a lot of the pain
01:41
behind my eye and some of the problems I'm having with my eyes and I've
01:47
Googled it and it says it's really difficult to operate on because of how
01:51
it's positioned so now I'm worried about that and that's all I can think about
01:56
which is a bit silly. Morning. It's Sunday now and I'm home. I came home
02:06
yesterday and it's nice to be home, really nice to be home although it feels
02:14
strange because normally when you come home from hospital it's because you're
02:18
better and I'm home but I'm not better so that felt a bit strange. I'm going to
02:27
Cardiff this week. I've got to wait for confirmation of when my appointment will
02:33
be but they felt it was better for me just to go home from my mental health
02:39
really and also because it's easier apparently to arrange appointment
02:46
for somebody that's at home rather than doing a bed-to-bed transfer which
02:51
absolutely makes sense because there aren't any beds as we all know. So yeah
02:58
just a bit of a waiting game. I'm on double the morphine I was on in hospital
03:05
just the pain is is quite severe now around my eye but I'm at least
03:15
able to sleep in my own bed which is really nice and have visitors and the
03:20
kids are going to come and see me this afternoon which is lovely. I can't wait
03:23
to see them and I've had some visits from my friends already which has been
03:27
so nice and I've got one of my good friends coming this afternoon and yeah
03:33
so it's really that's really lovely although it's I'm finding it more tiring
03:38
than I thought I would. So yeah that's the update for today just trying to stay
03:49
positive. I've been diagnosed with a brain tumour. It all happened quite
03:56
suddenly. I've been having headaches for about two weeks and ended up going for a
04:03
scan on Monday and they found that I've got a mass on my brain and so I've been
04:11
in hospital a week. I came home last night and I'm going to be seeing the
04:15
neurosurgeons in Cardiff this week to see if they can operate on it or what
04:23
the treatments going to be. If they're able to get to it. It's behind my
04:29
eyes so it's a bit of a difficult place to remove it I think.
