@DimDamask @rbarbosa91 My ITU had no windows. Back on the ward my room had a view of a brick wall. After a few weeks I was strong enough to walk to the end of the corridor where there was a window. A simple view of a road, green trees, blue sky. I burst into tears

This project is simply amazing 💕

@DoctorOstomy @AngeeGabs Take up their offer. A true friend won’t judge you, they know how sick you’ve been recently.

You will be doing them a favour, as they’ll be able to relax knowing that you’ll be ok.

📢Pleased to share my new publication in the @AmerJSurgery

A satirical look at how academic recognition can sometimes be more ceremonial than transformational

But the real question is not who is invited to the ballroom — but whether those encounters leave something meaningful behind. ✨🤝

@DoctorOstomy I saw you write about that, it makes it so much harder when you can’t feel the discomfort until it’s too late 😟

[Susannah @lliheus]

@DoctorOstomy I don’t have any advice, except are you keeping your legs elevated?

Hope that you begin to feel better soon x

[Susannah @lliheus]
