Wishing I was going to London

Quite a bit has happened since I last posted. Had my check ups in hospital, but had to stay in because of unbelievable fucking pain! I was hoping to come round from the anaesthetic with everything finished - but no. There were 2 (yes 2) catheters still inserted!! Top tip - if you are going to throw your guts up in the middle of the night, eat lots of chocolate first - tastes & smells much nicer! Needless to say I was in no fit state to attempt the half marathon 2 days later (couldn't even drive for a week).

After all that, apparently the x-rays they got weren't too clear (sorry doc, that was me writhing). Have had another CT scan recently and now have been called back in for another appointment at the end of April with a kidney specialist.

With the marathon due this coming weekend I really wish I was able to run - but hey ho, I am guaranteed a place for next year.

Good luck to all of you that are running - think of me sat at home in front of the fire with my coffee & toast!
