Thank you SO much for your kind words Francis. Very much appreciated. And yes I will always have a special place in my heart for Dr Doctor, while curling my toes when remembering that discussion about PhDs! I can be a pompous noodle sometimes!!!
If you can get through all that belittlement you can get through anything! Not being in control of anything from hands to bladder to bowels is a tough one. I would find all that very hard to deal with and plus not knowing the details of your illness doubly hard.
Perhaps the best person to come up with better equipment that might make it all easier to handle is someone who has been through it all! Perhaps in an advisory capacity with an inventive mind or two as well. Very brave of you to share all this Jacqui. I like the sound of Dr Doctor. Did you meet up with him again ?
When it came down to it I just had to laugh about it all - of all the stuff I went through this actually had the least impact on me. And yes I'd be very happy to be a bed pan design advisor!!
Dr Doctor certainly did appear again and I also met him after I left hospital at an out patient appointment. As you can imagine he called me in as 'Dr Gatehouse' and not as 'Jacqui Gatehouse' as everyone else would here in DK. I laughed all the way down the corridor from the waiting room to his office!
So nice you had Dr dr !!! You write so well Jacqui , I feel like I’m in the hospital with you !
