“Common sense is not so common” 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

“Common sense is not so common” is probably one of the truest statements. I’ve experienced this a lot throughout my journey 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ unfortunately. I’ve always heard people talk about it, but I didn’t fully understand it, or experienced it in such extent. Well! I do now🙄 They’re the kind of situations that if I tellContinue reading ““Common sense is not so common” 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️”

Grounding 🌎 👣

🦋 Get yourself grounded and you can navigate even the stormiest roads in peace 🦋 June 2020 🇮🇪 I’ve heard about grounding many times before, but after watching this documentary “Earthing Movie-The Remarkable Science of Grounding” (available on YouTube) I became super interested in the concept.

Nighttime visitor 😱😂

December 2015-March 2016 🇵🇱 GCR Repty Every time we think or talk about this now, we laugh so hard 😂🙉, especially when my dad does all the impressions.

Christmas in hospital 🏥

December 2015-GCR Repty 🇵🇱 It can really be the most wonderful…I mean difficult time of the year. Knowing that it was Christmas, made everything twice as sad😔😢. My worst Christmas yet, by far! Spent in a hospital bed… but on a brighter side I wasn’t alone. My dad and Mr P were already there, andContinue reading “Christmas in hospital 🏥”

HELP! 🆘😶😥

November 2015 🇵🇱 I woke up during the night with a terrible pain in my arm. I think it just involuntarily moved, while I was sleeping and got stuck in a very painful position.

Neurology ward-continued

November 2015 🇵🇱 The good news (mentioned in my previous post) I got that day was that there was a semi-private room available next door, and I was being moved 🙌.

Hallucinating

October 2015 I think it was my first night in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), when I was hallucinating. I now know that I had morphine pumped into my bloodstream, so most likely this drug made me hallucinate… It’s a funny story, but in the end it was really scary, when I actually thought IContinue reading “Hallucinating”

My Dad, My Best Friend, My Hero…👨‍👧❤️

Today is my Dad’s 50th, so I would like to dedicate this post to him. Happy Birthday Dad 🎂🥳🥂🎈! He is a Polish man born on Paddy’s Day-the irony 😂, even in the Guinness storehouse there’s a quote that says you’re only 100% Irish if you were born on March 17th 🤷🏻‍♀️☘️🇮🇪? By the wayContinue reading “My Dad, My Best Friend, My Hero…👨‍👧❤️”

My typical day in Intensive Care Unit

October 2015 4 years ago this was my routine as locked-in ICU patient: Morning: Every morning very early around 5-6am, a nurse would come to collect my blood samples. I had a central line in my neck and hand (until today I have souvenirs where they were-I call them my War scars😝🙉👊💪 and I actuallyContinue reading “My typical day in Intensive Care Unit”
