Well since I last updated I've been struck down with a cracking bout gout plus a lovely infection. Well last Saturday the 4th I had a slight pain in my wrist and by the next day I couldn't move it so it was a trip to hospital and obligatory 3hour wait, just to be given a splint and be told to go to my gp. But wait it gets better!!! I had the worst attack of gout I think I've ever suffered, on a pain scale of 1~10 I scored it an 8 so yeah it fucking hurt(s) but to be fair tramadol works like a dream, only downside is the sleepiness but hey when you haven't slept in nearly week you'll take anything!!!!!
Peace, love and gouty tadpoles

Well nearly time for a transplant!!!
Hello boys and girls I'm back, alive and kicking..... Just, as many of you know I had a very exciting holiday to tenerife (not) I ended up spending two weeks on life support with a tube down my throat. This ended with me being flown home by private jet awesome, at a cost to my insurers of £18000. After that excitement I decided to take it easy, and didn't have an overnight stay in hospital for nearly six months!! More recently I had a trip to guy's hospital, the outcome, mum and I are both ready for going under the knife!!!! Oh yeah except I gotta see a dammed cardiologist. Well I'll update you guys after the closing ceremony, forgot to say we got tickets for it :)
Love, hugs and kisses

LOOOONG TIME no speak..... don't worry i'm still alive!!!!
hello to all those who have been eagerly waiting another update...... It may have seemed like my game of golf was a bad idea but infact i have been living my life the way any 23year should!!!!
things that i have done since the last update:
bought a new car - a mini cabriolet, but currently unable to drive it, will explain more later in the post.
played a stupid amount of golf (bored the hell out of jess)
been to hospital several times (understatement of the century)
oh yeah been to boardmasters surf and music festival and stayed in the headland hotel!!! (thanks mum)
right the reason why i cant drive the car is about a month ago i decided to be really ill..... as i couldnt keep anything down it was either coming out the top or like a tap from the bottom!!! lets just say it was not fun, this then peaked with me having two seizures! not fun i might add (jess somehow slept through the first one and found me on the floor) and then on the way to hospital (favourite place) i had another in the back of the ambulance, my last words before fitting were FUCK FUCK FUCK, then i woke up in resus minus my boxers and thourghly confused!!!! so at the hospital was told my blood was acidic, not nice and this had contributed to me feeling like shit for the couple of weeks prior to the fits, i was even ill at my cousin Jen's wedding the one day when i didnt wanna feel like crap but oh well, so in the end Dr Iggo decided it would be best for me to stop driving for a month, this ban ends on friday (19/8)
other news, i have been put through to the second round of the chance to carry the olympic flame, i've got a one in 14 chance, wish me luck. it would be a dream come true to carry the flame.
And finally whilst on holiday at boardmasters i decided it would be a suitable time to ask my lovely girlfriend Jess to marry me........ and she said YES.
well gotta jump on my machine now, its time for nine hours dialysis.
Peace love, and fairy cakes

Ouch!!!!
well update again!!!
i am currently home now, recovering after my op, and my tummy hurts rather a lot..... but the good news is i am not in hospital atm, was only in the one day....
Was the wierdest thing being put under for the anesthetic the last thing i rememeber is "you'll be feeli...." and then "pete.... pete.... wake up" as i was coming round in recovery, also my love of cannula's was shown again as even though i was unconsiuous i was still able to rip it out of my hand!! haha, oh well, i'm looking forward to finally getting this pd shit on the road and getting myself already for my transplant and hopefully a larger fluid restriction.
on a lighter note Happy Mother's Day to all those mothers who are reading

time for an OP!!
well as some of you may already know this April fool's day is a big day for me, i am having my operation!!! thats right im finally getting "Alan" fitted, and this "Alan" is in fact a tube for me to do dialysis through, he is going to live in my peritonium?!?! (spelling) basically in and around my tummy area..... and hopefully this little device will mean that i can have a little bit more to drink than the measly 1litre that im on at the moment, and i hate that!!!
Well time for a weight update, slightly strange thing to say but i have been losing weight rather a lot recently due to me being slightly better with the fluid allowance, im now down to around 88kg, target weight is 87!!! when i went in to hospital i think i was roughly 100kg, that means i must have been carrying around 12kg extra weight in fluid....... and that is a lot!!!!
Well must dash
