Hey,

It's been 10 months since my last episode - oops! I've been dealing with diaphragm issues, I took time off work to rebuild my strength, recovering from physical burnout, and planning my seventh surgery.

I celebrated a special birthday in July 2023, enjoying a few weeks of respite and sunshine. However, life took an unexpected turn in the Autumn.

In this solo ramblings episode, I update you on my recovery and rehabilitation journey since my June 2023 episode.

I'll share insights around my peri-menopause journey - Hormone test results from July - A&E & hospital admission - My pelvic MRI - Meeting a new consultant - Undergoing another major surgery (number 7)

Quote of the episode: "Old keys won't open new doors."

Excuse the echo! I had issues with the mic, but couldn’t re-record.

Hey,

I have been away for a bit! LBH - Let’s Be Honest, is back. A very quick update episode, surgery, menopause, HRT, sleep, travel and a new role.

Quote of the podcast ''It won't always be easy. It won't always be fun. But in the end, it'll always be worth it''

Hey,

I promised I wouldn't leave it so long between recordings, it's been just over a month. Lots of rehabilitation, core strengthening and consistent steps in the right direction.

This episode is a throwback to a raw, real and genuine style of recording, from my car, on record, whilst I drive to hydrotherapy. Throwing back to September 2020, Cornwall road trip vibes. Apologies in advance for the poor quality audio and background noise.

This is a solo ramblings episode, following my update in April 2023. I shared my results from an MRI and dynamic ultrasound showing 50% reduced muscle mass in my right side torso (where I have had several lung and diaphragm surgeries) and lack of movement on the right causing severe pain, breathlessness and fatigue.

I talk about my physio and hydrotherapy plans, pacing and my phased return to work in May. Pacing hasn't been easy between rehab, work and life. My physio, consultant and GP are making changes, adjusting and trying new things to drive my recovery and progress forwards.

You can read more about my conditions and surgeries in my blog: https://www.lbhlifestyle.co.uk/my-blog this will bring you up to date.
