Getting Ready

Hello Everyone,

I had a nice weekend getting myself ready for what is ahead. 

I have so much to do today- I need to pack my things ready for hospital and get all my bits and pieces together. 

I will get a call tomorrow around midday to let me know that I am being admitted and they are ready for me. I will be having another MRI scan tomorrow for final location of my tumour but I'm ok with this now (more so than the last one) as I know what to expect and it will hopefully be shorter. 

Saturday night my best friend Jo, my sister Holly and I went for a nice meal- I'm meant to be being super healthy at the moment (I will be blogging about this in the future) but to be honest we were going by the rule of "a little bit of what you fancy does you good". Now I'm not sure giant ice cream sundaes count but what the heck! Jo was a little disappointed when her pancakes arrived as obviously the 'Ferrero Rocher' sundae trumps them by far!! It was pretty sickly though so barely ate a third of it!! 


Sunday I got some more essentials from M&S (not sure if luxury eye make up remover is really needed for hospital) I also had some lovely chats and txts with my friends and feel so grateful that I'm blessed with such a group of lovelies- your spirits keep my spirits going! Xxx

I would like to say thank you to Sally (and Patrick!) who so kindly bought Mum and I a pedicure each to have at home :) yippee! Thank you for all the support you guys have given us. Xxx

There are so many lovely things to look forward to when I am out of hospital :) 

I am going to do some vlogging (video blogging) today regarding my feelings before the op and possibly whilst I'm in hospital so that you guys will be with me the whole way. The genius that is my lovely boyfriend Carl can then hopefully edit this for me and I will post up here. I think this will be good as I'm not sure how up for typing I'll be after the op etc so I'll just chat away and that way you're still all up to date with my journey.

So looking forward to getting this out of the way and seeing you all after. 

With loads of love,

Xx Gem

  1. Hi Gem, still loving reading your blog (not the subject matter though obviously!) and thinking of you loads. Just saw that your op has been postponed but you sound like you're looking at the delay in the best way possible. Thinking of you loads especially over the next few weeks. With lots of love from Emma and the Caldwells xx

    1. Hi Emma, Thanks so much for your message and for keeping up with Bertie! We saw Dave and Sarah a few weeks ago before I had to head down to Mum's so that was really nice for Carl and I :) lots of love, Gemma xx
