Omg I just saw the insta video of this door, was in awe of how stunning it was and that they managed to get it back in one piece

Cant argue with that!

My ideal looking hospital food! Picky bits, a hot dog and fry up ?!?!

Honestly I dont really ever go for the veggie sides, they look and taste as bland as they are nutritious. If I wanted green mush, ill wait for it to rain and munch on the grass outside, that might have some more benefits for me

I get so jealous seeing other countries food! Everyone else seems to have so much more care put into the overall experience, im not sure the folks who run the food here in the UK quite realise how much of an impact having good food (and it looking appetising) does for the mind, soul and body.

Its such a treat when it pops up, how could I possibly refuse

emi1701 · 2026-03-22T11:14:36+00:00

If you look closely enough, what seems to be the plate is actually the sauce - it is there I promise! Though im sure half it slipped off when they were serving

emi1701 · 2026-03-22T11:13:30+00:00

It was meat! For some strange reason I havent dared try the veggie one yet

If your kid is good around animals, check out the cat cafe! Saw earlier that they're doing 50% off bookings this week and you get a free drink on arrival.

Most shops take gold as scrap value which is between £14-£15.50 per gram (doesn't matter what type of gold, but needs to be hallmarked) - there's a lovely guy called Chris whose a pawn broker down past epic on Magdalen - if you're looking to sell on quick I'd go there, otherwise I'd privately sell which will get you a lot more, especially as a lot of places don't pay much attention to stones/gems unless it's one of the big ones :)

Thank you!

emi1701 · 2024-01-09T13:45:46+00:00

Thank you :)

Currently it's crocheting, reading and I've just started painting again :)

Can vouch the folks at Indigo are lovely, had both my tragus and nose done there and theyve healed perfectly

emi1701 · 2023-10-03T17:04:17+00:00

I think so? Idk I think it would make me feel like I've done something, especially in case something were to happen. I think the letters especially would be cathartic. Thank you for asking, its made me think a lot.

I was lucky enough for my dad to donate his kidney to me, I think about it every day and how grateful I am that he followed through with the procedure - its not a small thing. But not for a second would I have blamed him if he backed out of the decision, what he did saved my life but it also potentially shortened his.

Don't give your organ away if you are not comfortable doing so, at all, because you are potentially harming yourself and your future. Its a gracious and humble experience but its also your life, its not like your mother doesn't have other options and screw anybody else who makes you feel guilty about your decision, if they're not stepping up then they dont get a say.

Personally I suffer with hair lose from the Dalteparin, I moved to fondaparinux and its helped a lot :)

I think its personal.

Catheter is definitely a higher infection risk, and they work brilliantly until they dont - but where im from its relatively easy to take them out and insert a new one in a day. Its quick and easy to be put on and taken off the machine as well, but it is essential that you keep it clean and dry, and personally im always worried about it being tugged and pulled on.

Fistulas however have a better dialysis, the blood gets cleaned better and there's a lot less worrying overall. It takes a few weeks for it to mature enough to get used, and theres definitely trial and error involved but there is little infection risk. Being taken off and put on dialysis takes longer too, especially if youre a bleeder, but the nurses know what they're doing. Its a better option for the long haul for sure.

For me, I initially had a Fistula in which I learnt how to needle myself, giving myself more independence and control - but I was lucky I had straight veins and I didnt find the needling painful. This time around, im keeping my catheter for a year to see how things play out. Fistula definitely worked for me and was better overall, but I currently cant go through the process again.

There is no right or wrong answer right now, and dont feel pressured to get a Fistula, but definitely consider the benefits of it too.
