A hamster's christmas

This is Lindzee, Bethan's 'new' hamster. Dad had a new Flip camcorder for Crimbo, so this is one of his first attempts, I'm sure there will be loads more to follow.

Been shopping!

Went to Meadowhell today and bought an amazing 'Rock chick' McKenzie jacket. (pics to follow)

Got a bad cold

I've not got to school for the last 2 days, got a really bad cold (even worse than man flu!!)

Went to hospital today for tests and stuff, should get results tomorrow morning, can check them on-line anyway, so shouldn't be a problem.

Not impressed with adult blood takers, they don't use spray and take loads more than paediatric.

Sheffield Arena....Young Voices 2008

Went to Sheffield Arena tonight, to listen to Beth singing in young voices 2008.

Great concert, but the opera singer wasn't up to much.

New Hamster..

Sadly, on Sunday night, my hamster Nuggat passed away in her favourite place- her bed! :(

I was really upset until I was told that I could have another hamster.

So today, 27th November, I bought a new hamster called George. I chose the name George because it's a name that you wouldn't expect for a hamster, but it REALLY suits him, so yeah.. Lol. This time I decided to buy a boy. The picture is of him in the flesh. He is 8 weeks old, so yeah, take away 8 weeks from today and it calculates around my birthday, so i'm going to make his birthday the 10th October. But I love him LOADS.. :D

Birmingham.........

Went to Birmingham childrens Hospital yesterday to see Prof Kelly, not seen her for a few years, so thought it was about time. Liver seems to working ok, so doesn't want to see me for another 6 months, then a year after that...........Yay!!

Just had my make-up and nails done

Just had a facial at St Andrews centre, feels brill. Had my nails done too.

------------------

Facebook..

Sorry I havent put anyposts on for while, I haven't really done anything exciting..

Yesterday I had my FIRST ever GCSE exam. It was maths, I found it a tiny bit hard but I did my best and thats's all I can do!

Anyways- If you have Facebook could you please please please add me? I need to have like 100 times as many friends as my mum. Ooooh and *FYI- Daive i'ts your fault for getting me hooked on Facebook.

Search me as: Megz Davies, Sheffield..

So yeah, that's it really. Not got anythin to say apart from what i've just said.. Ooooh and please keep commenting on my blog coz I love reading them..

Thanks to everyone x

Bonfire night

Wend to a Fireworks display for the first time yesterday, down at the local Parish Hall. Massive fireworks and very loud!!
It all went with a bang though!!!

Belated party at Tafarn y Deri @ Llanedi

Belated party at Tafarn y Deri @ Llanedi, great food, wish they would shut the door though.

Looking out over the bay.

Looking out over carmarthen bay, lovely sunset (nice lashes too!).

Llanelli beach at dusk.

Just been down at Llanelli beach for a walk. A bit cold, but nice.
------------------

By popular demand........

Due to demands from our Spanish viewers, I thought it best to put on a new post!

Off to see High School Musical 3 tomorrow morning (Friday) ........Yay

Garage conversion (annexe) is well underway and should be finished soon, (see inset pics).

Off to Sunny Llanelli this weekend, but have to make a detour to Queens for a re-check on one of my blood test results from today.

May just have to go to Joes for an icecream (or 2), even if it's pouring down.

Daive the shark is HUGE and loves it in the very pretty GREEN WEED! (Especially for Random)

Hola Liz, puso por favor un comentario en mi blog!

House Bunny

Went to Centertainment Sheffield today to see 'House Bunny', very funny, went with Rach.

My B-day TODAY!

Today is my birthday! (woopwoop)
Omg, I'm 15! (somebody buy me a zimmer please! Lol)

Oooooh Oooooooh, I had my first shower today for like more than 2 years! It was amazin! (Omg, how sad of me) No, I'm not a scrubber, I just couldn't have a shower because I had my central line in. But I dont have it anymore so I can have one (obviously). I can also go swimming now, but I'll give that one a miss. The only excercise I do is up and down the stairs, in and out the shop and carrying my shopping bags.(If that counts! Lol)

I LOVE CAMELS! For my birthday I got a Silver camel necklace and matching earrings, an Onyx camel ( if Daive is reading this, then I would just like to add that it is GREEN! Teehee!) I also got yellow bag with a huge camel on the front!

Thankfully, I have a bit of cash, so I proper need to go to Meadowhall and I haven't been for yonks! ( I also need a Boost Juice too!)

I NEED COMMENTS ON MY BLOG because my sister is going to France for 3 days and I'm gonna be proper bored! Thank You xxx

My B-dayy PARTAY!

My 15th Birthday PARTAY was on the 4th of October! It was proper minted and all my most amazinest friends came, such as: Emily, Lotte, Rach, Becca, Katie and Hannah. Ooooh and not forgettin, Beth( my sis), mum and dad. We had a chocolate fountain, drinks fountain with pink lemonade and by the end of the night, we all felt really sick and still can't look at chocolate!

It was a pamper PARTAY and we all had treatments, such as; manicures, pedicures, facials, nail art and so on . . . . My cake was proper ace too! LOOK ABOVE!! ( Dad didn't have a treatment though, there wasn't enough wax available. In fact, there isn't enough wax in the whole world!)

A magnum a day keeps the central line away!

Going,going, gone.........

Au revoir!

Merline the central line has gone.............hooray!

Now just have 'Paul' the scar as a reminder.

Tomorrow's the day

Central line due to come out tomorrow (Wednesday) have to ring the ward before we leave to check that there's a bed available ........... will be leaving by 5.30am so will need to be up by 5am.

I'll not be back in school for the rest of the week, will be resting, ready for my party on Saturday.

Dear Giraffe Daive! or should it be 'Demon reverse driver'.

Wish I'd been there to see that Giraffe.......... don't think my bladder could have coped!! LOL
Did you video it? would make a mint on YouTube!

QMC Wednesday next week (early) to have central line out......Yay! Gotta be there for 6.30am (Aarrrrgg) and hopefully back same day.

Update ..........

Down to 1 visit a week to hospital from next week, just Thursdays .......Yay!!

Also, having my central line out on October 1st, just in time for my birthday on 7th!

A new world record

Dad got a very red head too.

Summer @ last!!

As it looks like Summer has finally arrived, we're off to Helmswell Cliff Market near Gainsborough tomorrow...........................

Cleethorpes.........summer @ last!

Went to Cleethorpes for a drive on Sunday........

(That's me on the left, by the way!!)

New family member

After the mystery disappearance of 'Magic' 2 weeks ago, we finally 'bit the bullet' on Saturday and bought a new baby hamster..............Lil' Lindzee.



Very friendly, very small and very, very cute!!

Meadowhall and JTF both in the same weekend....!!!!

Well, I'm slowly getting back in the flow again, been to Meadowhall for a bit of 'retail therapy' and a passion mango boost......WoopWoop

Also been to JTF for an hour today and got some 'bright green' fishnets to go with my birthday outfit...........OMG!!!!

Come back soon!

First Day Of School!

Yesterday was my first day of school as a year 10 and I loved it! (woopwoop)

It was great to see all my mates and to do all my new subjects I havent done before!

Thanks to everyone at school for looking after me!!! (lots of hugs and kisses for you all, you know who you are!!)

A Great day out!

Went over to see Linda, Gary, James and Emily @ their caravan in Lincolnshire, had a great day and loads to eat.

Great site, quiet, pretty and very relaxing.

Really hot and sticky, until it poured down at about 5 o'clock.

Had fish n' chips on the way home!

4 weeks post transplant - Building up them muscles .....

I've been doing a bit of weight lifting today .......... using 2 tubs of Ben and Jerry's ice-cream!

The session didn't last very long though, coz the weight kept on going down! I wonder why?

Oh dear what a a shame.........Not!

On doctors orders, coz my phosphate level is 'too low' I've been told that I have to eat dairy lea cheese triangles, crunchy peanut butter and as much chocolate as I can get down my neck! without the Salad (and hopefully without throwing-up!!)

I just don't know if I'll be able to cope!.........LOL!! :-)

Great to see Elle and Ben yesterday at clinic.

23 days post transpalant

Can't believe it's only 23 days since I had my transplant........feels like ages!

I've had to buy some size 8 school trousers, as my size 4's & 6's won't even fit on my left leg!! Just gotta be all that salad! LOL!!!

Got muscles now, where I never had any before!

Just another day ..........

Wii fit this morning, need to keep the weight down, to make room for the chocolate (and salad)

Been doing some 'theraputic grass cutting' around Ruby's cage.

Ordered loads of sweets off the web ready for my birthday party (if they last that long.) http://www.keepitsweet.co.uk


Dad went to Pradamark and got me some dudey slipper socks.

My Bezzi's

Went back to the hospital today for bloods and managed to catch up with my bezzi's; Shirley the squid and Brad(sorry James, you're my bezzi too, but you weren't there)! (woopwoop) My jaws still ache and after getting on the scales I think they're broke(hehe)! I think I'll have to eat more salad with my chocolate in future!

Also, best wishes to Jamie-Lee and the best of luck to her and the whole of her family. It was nice to see her looking well.

LOOK IT'S DAIVE!

This is Daive the Fish, he spends most of his time in the weed(Naughty, Naughty Daive!) Dad says he would taste nice with chips! ( Random Daive will know what I mean!)

Both Daive the fish and Random Daive are very alike! ( Daive will understand why, it's a LONG story)

Thanks

Ta to Mrs F and I've named the camel Uranus (you'll know why....LOL).
Ta to Linda and Emily for the sweeties, don't think they're gonna last very long though.
And finally but not least, to Em for the key ring, it's called Bbbbboooooobbbbb and also for the sweetie handbag.........wicked.

First Shopping trip post transplant

We went to TGi Fridays for lunch, the waiter (Russ) put us in a cubicle away from everyone else, coz I shouldn't be mixing with crowds yet. I had this amazing dessert, which was a share (for 2 - 3 people) and I ate it all.

Even dad said he didn't think he would have been able to eat it! Ha Ha......looser!!!

I really want to go to Meadowhall, but too many people so we went over to Lakeside Shopping Centre in Doncaster , coz there's less people and I can wander outside and sit in the fresh air, if I feel a bit tired.

Really can't wait to go to Meadowhall to spend all of dad's money, but won't be for a month or so yet, so I'll just have to wait.

16 days post transplant

Went back for bloods today. Woke up at 7:30am, had breakfast and set of at about 8:20am but didn't even get there till like 9:30am, just coz of stupid traffic on the M1!

Docs' seemed pretty happy with blood pressure and stuff, so just have to go back again on Thursday morning.

Afterwards, I went shopping to SUPERPETS in Worksop (coz there weren't crowds of people there) and I bought a REDTAIL BLACK SHARK and I called it Daive (coz he's like proper minted), I also bought 2 splendens, (kit and kat) 2 rainbow fishys (peppermint and cream) and a male molly (blathers).

So nice to be home!

Thanks to everyone for the cards and prezzies, a special thanks to all the nurses and doctors at QMC and BCH for all your help.

Hopefully should see all my school friends soon!

Don't forget to come back regularly for any updates.

Home at last!!!

Transplant 2 weeks ago today.......... home from Birmingham Childrens hospital after a couple of days of dodgy Liver Test results, but all better now!
My own bed, and my own toilet..........Ahhhhhhhhhhh

Message to random Daive

Ta for the comment.
I'm glad you liked the badge and I'm sorry about your card, I like totally forgot you can't tell the difference between red and green. Should be back for bloods on monday if all goes to plan.
While we're waiting for results, I've been planning my dudey birthday party in october, complete with chocolate fountain........... Woopwoop! If you have any dodgy concoctions that I could use please let me know.

See you soon with your new haircut!lol. Thanks again 4 the comment xxx

A bit of a blip......!

Thursday - Kidney doing well, but had some dodgy liver function results, so transferred us to Birmingham Childrens Hospital, Liver unit.

More tests and scans but results looking a little better!

Probably be here till saturday .........but who knows!

Meadowhall's GONE BUST?

Ok, ok, so MEADOWHALL hasn't really gone bust. It's just a figure of speech.

As you know already (or maybe not) I LOVE shopping! Especially at MEADOWHALL ,as it's only a couple of junctions away from where we live, so we usually go at least every week. But sadly, because i've been in hospital i havent been for at least 2 weeks!

David.C (annoying haemo nurse) decided to annoy me (once again) by saying ' I read in the paper today that MEADOWHALL'S gone bust' Well, he fooled me good. He then followed this sentence by saying 'The newpaper said it was because Megan hasn't been for at least a month' I then realised that he was making it up and I thought to myself ' Why did I believe him in the first place?Come on, it's David!

David's comment towards the 'cabbage fever' was that I might turn into a cabbage patch doll with the puffy cheeks and big heads. I just looked at him and gave him my 'evil eye treatment' He is just SO ANNOYING, but I will definatley miss him! (OMG, did I just say that? Another example of my theory)

Analize my early morning singings?

Last night, around 2am I had a song in my head AGAIN, so i woke up and started singing it to mum. The song was the one on the advert with brains from thunderbirds on it dancing on the table with a bottle of water. When I had finished singing it, I went straight back to sleep and left mum wide awake! (sorry mum!)

If there is anyone out there who can analize these 'strange awakenings' I would appreaciate your comments.

Just A Little Thank You Post!

This is just a little message to say a HUGE 'Thank You' to everyone who has been checking out my blog and commenting on my posts! I have really enjoyed writing it and I just hope that you have enjoyed reading it.(although I have had a bit of help with spelling from the old fella/ waitress dude in the corner)

I'm getting a bit addicted to this blog-job business, so this blog might go on for a while! SO, if I start going on about complete nonsense, you know i'm back to my old self again!

Caramel

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Yummy.

TODAY I RECOMMEND -Cadburys Dairymilk Caramel Chocolate Bar
with CUSTARD.

Rather an unusual taste, but when your restricted like me for just over 2 years, you end up not giving a damn AT ALL!

You've read the book, seen the film and now is THE SCAR!

IF YOU'RE SQUEAMISH DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT LOOK AT THIS PICTURE!



HERE IS STEVE THE SCAR- DAY 7

Scooby- Dooby-Doo!

As you can probably see, I have been rather busy colouring Scooby Doo posters and BLU-TACKING them to my Shower/WC door (as it says on the door)

Now you see it . . . .. . . Now you DONT!

As you can see, I had an Equador Magnum it was FANTASTIC! Within the time space of like 2 minutes it was gone! Mmmmmmmmm, I can taste it now. Yummy. I really enjoyed it but could probably do with at least another 2 . . . . . or 3. In fact . . . . . I could eat another 6 . . . . . . or maybe 10!

Ultrasound

Just had my ultrasound (jelly on the belly!) scan and all is working ok.
Good blood flow and profusion (whatever that means). Didn't manage to get a picci or you'de be able to see it too.

9 Days post transplant

It's now 9 Days since 'Sidney the kidney ' arrived. I've just realised that I'll now have 3 birthdays, even more than the queen.

Had 19 tablets and 3 slices of toast for breakfast this morning. Oh well, can't complain, won't be for too long, steroids finish in 5 days time.

Ultrasound scan later this morning, just to check all my plumbing is working. Let you know how that goes later today.

Thanks for all the cards and stuff.

Please put some comments on, I'm running out of stuff to read!

I wonder where it came from?

I really do think that this kidney came from a Vicar or a sunday school teacher, I'm being far too kind and caring about other people. Not started singing hymns yet, but there's always time.

With a song in my brain......

Woke mum up at 2am this morning, with a song in my brain...... "three little men in a flying saucer, flew round the world one day.........." don't know where it came from, but what the heck!

Got My Ravioli - woopwoop

Never was a lover of RAVIOLI. Now and then, when i was desperate I would have the stuff, but I never had a craving like this EVER! The first thing I wanted as soon as i'd come out of theatre was HEINZ RAVIOLI! I could taste it all the time, which made me want it even more!

Mum and dad said that i could have it as soon as they could get their hands on a tin of it, but it was hard because mum stayed for a few nights, then it was dad and then back to mum again. But FINALLY last night, mum bought me a tin and brought it to the hospital with her! I was so desperate, at around 8:30pm (after lasagne and tinned spaghetti) ate my RAVIOLI with great pride!

ALL the doctors said that it was the weirdest craving after transplantation EVER, Which made me feel proud inside. MAYBE, I should write to HEINZ and tell them about my craving, they might send me a lifetime supply of RAVIOLI or change the name of it to MEGZIOROLI!

That would be proper minted that would, but rather unlikely. Oh well ..... I can dream!

'Cabbage' fever

When Megz' transplant nurse told her to go for a walk to avoid 'cabin fever' she thought she said 'cabbage fever'....................... soon sorted out by a 'Dark Equador Magnum' though. Obviously having a bit of a moment.

Day 6 - Another day, another .........

Well, another day dawns, although that's technically incorrect as it never actually got dark, coz they didn't turn the ward lights until about 3am this morning.

Megz had a really good night and looks fab this morning and is on her 4th piece of toast and a cup of tea .

Getting the hump!

We've started a collection of camels too, Camilla and Angus turned up over the last couple of days.

................ I hope they're house trained!

Taking the p*ss!!

It is truly amazing how much urine a body can produce. To go from a limit of 1lt a day and peeing 150ml to having to drink 3lts a day and peeing 4.5lts..............the mind boggles.

What a difference a healthy kidney can make to such a small body and the appetite attached to it.

Thank god for, internet access, eBay, Nintendo DS lite and nurses with a sense of humour, otherwise we would all have gone nuts! Thanks especially to Daive who made day 1 and 2 fly past.

Kidney Transplant - 5 days on

It's been 5 days since Megz had her kidney transplant. To say that it's been a tad on the stressful side would be an understatement, not really the time to try to give up smoking, alcohol, drugs, but I don't partake in them anyway so it doesn't really matter, but to be honest a packet of fags and a double Vodka would have gone down a treat on Saturday afternoon.

I realise that we missed the 50th wedding anniversary party, but 'I'm having a kidney transplant' must be the 'Carlsberg' of all excuses for not turning up.
