This is going to be one of those exams where I have to get up at 4am to cram. Fuck Numerical Methods, why do I always think 2 days is enough to revise for maths?
Rick Astley has an amazing Pixar collection and he’s usually very generous when it comes to lending out his DVDs… but he’s never gonna give you “UP.”

It’s probably a bad idea to spend so much time looking at pictures of food when I’m still stuck on a fluid only diet (which is better than the water only diet I was on previously)…but I was going through my bookmarks and I have so many things I want to make when I finally go home.
First off I’m going to make some mother fucking polenta. And I’m going to put that in a tray and let it set overnight so I can make slow-cooker coffee-braised pot roast and also this glorious thing and serve them both over home made seared firm polenta cos that stuff is the bomb.
Then I’m gonna make some healthy chicken quinoa parmesan. And some s’mores cookies. I think that will be plenty to be getting on with.
Second shot at free fluids.
I haven’t thrown up all the things yet, and I’ve managed a milkshake and a latte.
Also I’m finally getting some work done.
Feel like I’ve forgotten how to work automatically though, and I’ve lost half a stone in a not-good way.
Hospital sux but I am getting better (and K is here with me again <3)

She’s back, and it’s worth a read.
Lasted a whole day without NG tube and on free fluids.
Take bitter anti sickness pill, violently throw up everywhere.
Back to square one :/
WOAH WOAH WOAH! Can't believe you've been so poorly- I wish there was something I could do to help. Make sure you're taking it easy please? Also, you make an excellent elephant but I hope that tube isn't there too much longer love! x
Nor can I, it was a bit unexpected! Nothing you can do, not much I can do tbh. I’m taking it easy as, pretty much sleeping 70% of the time and watching Sherlock/ Doctor Who the rest of it. Trying not to think about all the work I have to do still. The tube is my friend, it stops me from throwing up all the things although I am beginning to go a little crazy cos I haven’t eaten anything since Thursday afternoon! That’s apparently a thing you can just do when the digestive system packs in, fun as it sounds. Thank you for the message my dear. xx
So here is the low down.
Health took a bit of a nosedive this weekend. Perfect timing as per usual.
What it turns out to have happened: I got a gut adhesion, happened because of the surgery I had back in September 2011. My intestines are all like YOU SHALL NOT PASS.
What I got diagnosed with before that: “it’s food poisoning, here have some strong painkillers”, “it’s gall stones, here have some anti-biotics and anti-emetics”, “it’s appendicitis, have fun with that”.
I realised I had to go into hospital after I started to throw up water and pills. The past couple of days went past in a blur of morphine and feeling crap and I had an NG tube fitted. Here is my finest elephant impression:
Just saying, having an NG tube inserted whilst conscious - 0/10 would not endure again.
So things are beginning to look up and hopefully I won’t have to have another laparoscopy to fix this. Got my exams in 2 weeks so I’m really quite worried about that but just gonna try and push through I guess. Damn it body you have rubbish timing!
